Why would this be infinite loop?

JavaScript
1

Hi all
I have already looked up the correct answer to this test but I am slightly confused as to why this code would be an infinite loop. Why wouldn’t the loop just count down from 5 to 0. Is it saying that it would it count into negative numbers and not stop at 0?
Thanks

  **Your code so far**


// Setup
var myArray = [];

// Only change code below this line
var i=5;
while (i<=5) {
myArray.push(i);
i--;
}

Hello!

Yes it would count into negative numbers, looping forever.
