Strange loops

[Wynd]

for ( ; ; )
{
//code here
}


What does it do? Is it an infinite loop or something?

[parksie]

Yes. It keeps going until you use break; :)

[Megatron]

It is however, more proper to use a While loop for that purpose.

[parksie]

Not so sure, I think you can use both, since I've seen lots of usages of bothwhile(1) { }andfor(;;) { }

[kedaman]

i'd use for(;;){} , looks better ;) i guess it's a qwestion of taste, anything for can do, can be done with while and vice versa

Notice the smilies that come up when you type for(;;)

[kedaman]

yeah ;) i didn't bother turn off the smilies or put in a space, it looks funny :p
