Kotlin: Infinite Loop

Question

Can somebody explain to me why the code below triggers an infinite loop? Does it not just skip the 5 and then keep incrementing till 10?

var i = 0
while (i < 10) {
if(i == 5) {
continue
}
i++
}

Answer 1

Mike because you put "continue" when i is 5, the value is forever 5 and it is always skipping the i++ part. Use a break instead or put the i++ to the top.

Answer 2

Understood. Thanks!
