Calculate the homotopy groups of $\mathbb{C}P^{\infty}$.

And I have a hint there is a fibre sequence $S^1 \rightarrow S^{\infty} \rightarrow \mathbb{C}P^{\infty}.$

But still I do not know how to calculate homotopy groups, Could anyone help me in this please?

$S^{\infty}$ is contractible, the Serre exact sequence gives $\pi_{n+1}(\mathbb{C}^{\infty})=\pi_n(S^1)$.
