    Strange loops

    Code:
    for ( ; ; )
{
  //code here
}
    What does it do? Is it an infinite loop or something?

    Yes. It keeps going until you use break;

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

    Not so sure, I think you can use both, since I've seen lots of usages of both
    Code:
    while(1) { }
    and
    Code:
    for(;;) { }

    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

    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.
