How to interrupt an Infinite Loop

Question

Though I know it\'ll be a bit silly to ask, still I want to inquire more about the technical perspective of it.

A simple example of an infinite loop:

pub         


        

Answer 1

Add a variable shouldBreak or something which can be set using getter and setter.

public class LoopInfinite {
private boolean shouldBreak = false;

public boolean isShouldBreak() {
    return shouldBreak;
}

public void setShouldBreak(boolean shouldBreak) {
    this.shouldBreak = shouldBreak;
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Below code is just to simulate how it can be done from out side of
    // the class
    LoopInfinite infinite = new LoopInfinite();
    infinite.setShouldBreak(true);
    for (;;) {
        System.out.println("Stackoverflow");
        if (infinite.shouldBreak)
            break;
    }
}

}
