Infinite while loops in Scala in Scala

Loops bring great power but also great responsability. The biggest danger when using loops is writing an infinite loop.

An infinite loop is a loop that never terminates. For example, if we forget to increment i in our previous example:

var i = 1
while(i < 5) {
	println(i)
	// i++; => forgot this
}

This program will never terminate as i will always have value 1 and thus the condition i < 5 will always be satisfied.

The program would basically print 1 forever never exiting the while loop.

Pro Tip:

As programmers, we want to make sure we never write infinite loops as they make our program run forever and completely unusable.
