How to stop running the Java program if that program runs from the command line and is struck in an infinite loop

Resolving The Problem

Question:

How do I stop running the Java program if that program runs from the command
line and is struck in an infinite loop?


Answer:

You could press Ctrl-C to stop running the program, if one of the Java programs
you run from the command line is stuck in an infinite loop.

Usually in a program where a loop does not end, something else in the program
is set up to stop execution in some way. For example, a loop could continue
indefinitely while the program waits for the user to click a button labeled
EXIT. However, if a program isn't working correctly, one bug you'll run into
during testing is a loop that cannot be stopped. This bug is called an infinite
loop because the program will loop forever.
