while Loop Help

[mms6]

[copy-pasta of an assignment that's not really relevant]

code:

result = 0 while i <= hi:         lo += 1         hi += 1         result = lo + hi

I get infinite loop

Help anyone?
Thanks

When is i > hi ?

[andrew.]

What are the initial values of i and hi? i is probably always less than hi because hi is increasing, and therefore the loop will never end.

you have not set a variable called i, so therefore, you should get nothing.

the loop doesn't brake until the condition is broken, so, if you want the loop to die, break it.
