How to interrupt an Infinite Loop

Though I know it'll be a bit silly to ask, still I want to inquire more about the technical perspective of it.

A simple example of an infinite loop:

public class LoopInfinite {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        for (;;) {
            System.out.println("Stack Overflow");
        }
    }
}

How can I interrupt (stop) this infinite loop from outside of this class (e.g., with the help of inheritance)?

Here is what I did:

while(Exit == false){
    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
    String in = input.next();

    switch(in){
        case "FindH": 
            FindHyp hyp = new FindHyp();
            float output = hyp.findhyp();
            System.out.println(output); 
        case "Exit":
            Exit = true;
    break;

    }
  }
