I understand that new_itme, for example, is infinite because you can add always more items, and you don't have a limit for how many items you put on the list.
But 'DONE' is not infinite, you can not write DONE many times, only 1 time... maybe this question is kind of stupid but if you have an example it will help a lot...
Thank you, Idan.

13,251 Pointsso why he is indented to the while loop?

1,014 PointsIt is indented in the loop so that it is checked for everytime the loop runs, but the moment the DONE is inputted the BREAK stops the code regardless of it being in the loop.
