Jumping out of the while loop

Let us say there is a while loop with the true statement within it (while(true)) therefore loop will continue. Any keystroke can terminate the loop and not the program and the program will go to the next step and continue to run. Can a program be written like that?

Sure it can. Try this:

using System;
using System.Threading;

class Program
{
static void Main()
{
long l = 0;

while(true)
{
l++;
Console.WriteLine(l);
Thread.Sleep(100);
if (Console.KeyAvailable)
{
Console.ReadKey(true); // consume it
break;
}
}

// do something outside the loop
Console.WriteLine("\nThe loop reached a value of {0} when it was stopped", l);
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
