Answer 6

In general,
There are ways to stop an infinite loop
1.using a break statement - which is not a good way to terminate the loop (unless you free your resources)
2.mention/use a loop condition that causes the loop to terminate gracefully.
3.define a timeout in your application, once it occurs write a handler that would free resources and use a break.
3.a Simulate a timeout using interrupts/timers if it is an embedded application.
3.b if it is a linux system application, send a signal like SIGUSR1 handle it, free resources and terminate the loop

these are only few ways.There may be more depending on the application and coding environment in practice.

Answer 9

Hate infinite loops like Medusa!
They are disastrous sometimes.
When making loops cross-check to be sure it is not infinite before moving on.

During my early Java2D days, I mistakenly made scan infinite loop. So terrible it took me 30 minutes! To shut down my windows 7 PC
