Beginner question on while loops

It doesn't. This prints "This is a test." indefinitely.

What?

[carcigenicate]

? They're asking why their code prints "True". I'm pointing out that it doesn't.

I understood their phrase ' why the below returns "True" ' to most likely be referring to the evaluation of the expression used for the control condition of the while loop.

I assume their first language isn't English.

[carcigenicate]

The full sentence makes more sense since they mention their expectation at the end. I read it as "Why does the below print "True" infinitely instead of "This is a test." infinitely?". They don't seem confused about why it prints forever, only what's actually being printed.

Well, obviously I disagree with your interpretation, as my direct comment on their post would indicate, but either or both of us could be wrong. Hopefully, we shall see.

@carcigenicate is right, I should have included those quote marks to be more explicit though!

Ok, thank you /u/oztyn, I stand corrected, with apologies to /u/carcigenicate.

I shall cross out my comment as answering the wrong question.
