week1 exercise 23, infinite while loop

[Karola]

Hi,

I'm having problems to understand why you want us to code an infinite while loop. Exercise 23 in week 1 needs to be coded as an infinite while loop to pass the tests. In my eyes this is not good practice and shouldn't be taught. Or am I wrong?

Best regards

Karola

Hi,

Infinite loops are not good practice, and you should, in most cases, implement functionality to exit those.

But they still are useful in some situations.
