Can you explain the words "begin" and "again"?

Q: Can you explain the words begin and again? When attempting to create a looping structure, the machine hung in my begin again loop and I could not get out of the loop.

A: begin and again used together are an infinite loop and are great for debugging hardware on a logic analyzer. Place your test code between these two words. To get out of this loop press Control-Z.
