[Newbies] Infinite loops

[Michael Rice]

Change your test condition to limit your infinite loop.

x := 0. [x <= 4] whileTrue: [x := x +1. Transcript show: 'infinite loop ',
x; cr].


infinite loop 1
infinite loop 2
infinite loop 3
infinite loop 4
infinite loop 5

Even in a language that supports a "break" command the user must specify
the condition for the break in his code.
