What occurs if a loop reaches its limit without being exited correctly?

When a loop reaches its limit without being exited correctly, the process can indeed throw an exception. This occurs as a result of the software's built-in checks designed to prevent infinite loops or unhandled scenarios. When a loop is intended to run a specific number of times and that condition is not met, the system triggers an exception to alert the user or developer that something unexpected has happened.

In Blue Prism, this behavior ensures that processes do not hang indefinitely due to logical errors in the flow. The exception can provide valuable information for troubleshooting and ensures that the system maintains stability by not allowing processes to run out of control.

The other potential outcomes, such as terminating the process abruptly, restarting the loop, or continuing indefinitely, do not typically align with the exception handling mechanisms present in Blue Prism. Instead, the framework is designed to handle scenarios like this gracefully by raising an exception for verification and handling by the developer.
