    Default help me terminate the infinite loop.

    import java.util.*;
    import java.io.*;
     
    class close {
    	public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    		int p, q;
    		BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    		System.out.println("enter values");
    		String s1 = br.readLine();
    		p = Integer.parseInt(s1);
    		String s2 = br.readLine();
    		q = Integer.parseInt(s2);
    		close c1 = new close();
    		c1.find(p, q);
    	}
     
    	void find(int p, int q) {
    		int s[] = new int[18];
    		int lol, j, count = 0, f = 0, a;
    		boolean b;
    		for (lol = p; lol <= q; lol++) {
    			j = 0;
    			System.out.print(j);
    			while (lol > 0) {
     
    				s[j] = lol % 10;
    				j++;
    				lol = lol / 10;
    				System.out.println(lol);

    In future, please use highlight tags around your code (see my sig), and proper formatting is encouraged.
    I have done it for you this time.

    This infinite loop is caused by your while loop.

    You say, "while lol is greater than 0"..
    If you set the q variable as anything other than 0, it will loop indefinitely.
    Please use [highlight=Java] code [/highlight] tags when posting your code.

    lol will become 0 when your code exits from while loop, so it will never greater than q. Then your for loop will not reach the end.
