The Infinite Loop
A loop becomes an infinite loop if a condition never becomes false. The for loop is
traditionally used for this purpose. Since none of the three expressions that form the ‘for’ loop are
required, you can make an endless loop by leaving the conditional expression empty.
When the conditional expression is absent, it is assumed to be true. You may have an
initialization and increment expression, but C programmers more commonly use the for(;;)
#include <stdio.h>
int main ()
{
for( ; ; )
{
printf("This loop will run forever.\n");
}
return 0;
}
construct to signify an infinite loop.
NOTE: You can terminate an infinite loop by pressing Ctrl + C keys.
