+% infinite loops
+
+The infinite `loop` is the simplest form of `loop` available in Rust. Using the keyword `loop`, Rust provides a way to loop until a `break` or `return` is issued. Rust's infinite `loop`s look like this:
+
+```
+loop {
+    println!("Loop forever!");
+}
+```
+
+Leaving a infinite `loop` can be achieved using a break statement as follows:
+
+```
+let mut i = 0;
+loop {
+    if i == 10 {
+        break;
+    }
+    println!("Loop number {}", i);
+    i = i + 1;
+}
+```
+
+## Loop labels
+
+Labels can be assigned to `loop`s to so that, in the case of nested `loop`s, an outer `loop` may be left early when certain criteria are met in an inner `loop`.
+
+```
+let mut i = 0;
+'outer: loop {
+    'inner: loop {
+        if i == 10 {
+            break 'outer;
+        }
+        i = i + 1;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+In the above example, the inner `loop` is able to cause the outer `loop` to stop.
