Can anyone tell me why this script keeps running indefinitely?

static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            int number = 0;

            bool limit = (number < 100);

            while (limit)

            {

                Console.WriteLine("the number is " + number);

                number++;

                

            }

        }

As far as I understand it should stop at 100 but for some reason it doesnt.

That's because "limit" is always 0 it never changes its value, try this:

int number = 0;
            bool limit = (number < 100);
            while (limit)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("the number is " + number);
                number++;
               [COLOR=Red] limit = (number < 100);[/COLOR]
[COLOR=Green]//Or you could use this code instead: limit++;[/COLOR]

            }
            Console.ReadKey();

You need to re-assign limits value to the number value, so limit it is going up with the number value and equaling zero the whole time. :)

so I see, cheers.

while (i<100)
{
                Console.WriteLine("the number is " + number);
                i++;
}

To avoid problems like that use for loop. It's easier to read your code.

for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
    Console.WriteLine("the number is " + i);
}
