I can’t duplicate your error. (Is it an “error” or a “warning”?)

I’m suspecting that it is just taking a long time. I think you can put //noprotect at the top of the code to disable infinite loop protection. WARNING: This can be a dangerous thing to do. If you do have an infinite loop (or program that will take 3.78 years to complete) then you will lock up your browser. There were a few challenges where I had to do this, but if I looked harder, sometimes I found a faster algorithm.

Free Code Camp Infinite Loop Protection

WARNING: This is not how the editor works anymore, you don’t get the warning, and if you are triggering the infinite loop protection, you need to refactor your code, //noprotect doesn’t work anymore The Free Code Camp code runner has a built in Infinite Loop Protect feature, leveraged from JSBin’s Loop Protect. The loop protect injects some code into user created loops to allow a safe exit if more than ~500ms has passed without exiting the loop. Loop protect will catch many, but not all infini…
