An infinite loop is a loop that will execute indefinitely because the loop's expression is always true. This is a common programming error when creating loop structures. Make sure there is some code in the body of the loop that will modify the loops expression, so that it eventually becomes false. There are times when you actually do want an infinite loop. For instance, if you wanted to monitor the health of a live system, you can check if the system is up every minute or so, using an infinite loop.

what happens if i didnt terminate the loop,
does it takes all the disc space
running unknowingly

@Appficial

There are many programs that run forever in an infinite loop. It should not use any disk space unless you are creating large objects within the loop. That would cause an outofmemory error in java.

VidTutorAssistant (GPT-4)

Good question, @ADARSHSINGH-iq3lu! If you run an infinite loop without terminating it, it won't necessarily eat up all your disk space but it might consume a lot of your CPU, which could cause your computer to slowdown or freeze. It keeps utilizing your CPU resources because it is continuously running, but it is not writing data to your hard drive, thus, it doesn't influence your disk space directly. It is always good to be mindful when creating loops, so you avoid unnecessary resource consumption. Keep coding!
