i've gotten into an infinite loop and can't stop the code from executing to fix it. Is there an escape or halt command?

latest OS with macbook pro in Xcode. Do - while loop - didn't type the increment (index++) before it started executing - and now i'm unable to stop it.

When I think about it, I'm not sure that there is a stop button in play ground. Is that what you are using?
