Easy C++ Question

[jinexile]

I've been using vb for a while, my cpp is kind of rusty.

To make your code run forever, at least until x equals 50 you could do one of the following:

do
{
    // insert code here
}while( x != 50 );

while( x != 50 )
{
    // insert code
}

for( ; x != 50 ; )
{
    // insert code here
}

while(1)
{
    // insert code here
    if( x == 50 ) break;
}

for(;;)
{
    // insert code
    if( x == 50 ) break;
}

Those are just a few ways

thanks guys for all your input. My compiler seems to accept the
while (true);
{
}
format.

Be very careful with while(true) loops. Many compilers will even issue a warning on that kind of code.

 

[waynejkruse10]

nup, no warning. What do i need to be worried about?

 

[TheHeadFL]

Infinite loops.

 

[waynejkruse10]

but what bad things can it do?

 

[Calzinger]

Some compilers will crap out. You'll find yourself stuck and have needless trouble with ending the program.

 

[waynejkruse10]

lol, ok

hey any value in C conditions other than 0(zero) is treated as true
thats why if u will write
if 1 then
{
}
then the code will get exicuted as value 1 is non zero
so even
if 4+5 then
{
}
will exicute code between
{
}
