16,708 PointsThat is happening because based on the code provided you are in an infinite loop.
It should be something like
i = 0
while i = 0
i += 1
end
answer = 0
while answer < 5
answer += 1
end
According to the code challenge however you just really need the first part as shown by Ace Motanya in his answer, the second part should be omitted completely as it was causing the infinite loop issue.
Due to the fact you that you had
# There is nothing in here to increment answer so it would just run forever. because answer will never equal 5.
while answer < 5
end
