[Solved] What is the reason behind this infinite loop?

by


You must also reevaluate the boolean expression to set your value in the loop body for it to work, like

final int LIMIT = 5; // <-- try to avoid magic numbers.
boolean myBoolean = (value < LIMIT); // <-- assigns the result of the expression 
                                    //    `value < LIMIT` to `myBoolean`.
while(myBoolean) {
    System.out.println(value);
    value = value + 1; // <-- value++;
    myBoolean = (value < LIMIT);
}

without that last line updating myBoolean, when myBoolean is true it will always be true.
