Why the answer for the below code

def myfunc(text, num):
      while num > 0:
        print (text)
        num = num - 1

myfunc ('Quantra', 4)

is 'Infinite Loop'?

Why is it not - 'QuantraQuantraQuantraQuantra' ?

Hello Kanika, I was able to reproduce 



Quantra

Quantra

Quantra

Quantra



as output with this code. Did you run this in a python file or jupyter notebook? If it was a jupyter notebook try restarting the kernel. It is possible that the kernel process hanged.

Hello Akshay, I am getting this response too in the Jupyter Notebook.



But the answer in Section 5, Unit-7 of the 'Quant Interview Question Preparation' course of Quantra says that this answer is wrong and the correct answer according to the course is 'Infinte Loop'.
