[Coursework] Poo!

I have a nasty suspicion that, aiming to create neat code, I've just written an infinite loop. Ho-hum. Back to the algorithmic drawing board ...

I wouldn't wait to find out.

Nope - just ran through it again in my head. The classic combination of a while loop, without actually doing anything to the test expression. [nonchalant whistle] Nothing to see here. Please move along.

re your comment in redcountess's LJ in answer to my comment (which I now can't access it seems) - yes elephants are definitely the common reference when it comes to sprogs - er sorry - children.

[grin] Especially true where the gap between the floorboards is more of an amplification space ... didn't help that my bedroom cupboards are below the hall (down which they used to launch themselves in a long jump from the bottom of the stairs).

bloody hell I'm surprised you can still hear!!

Well, I do have mild tinnitus, but that's mostly due to concerts ...

[goffburd.livejournal.com]

Yes, I sporadically have the same, for the same reason!!

Not a problem as long as you have a break condition somewhere in it! Lots of my code begins

while(1) {

[grin] Well, it did actually need a test in the while() so as to not run the loop if not necessary - it's just that I forgot to write in the line to recalculate the relevant test value.

Ewww! Who taugh you C ?!

for(;;)

is the classy way to do it :-)

You just want to that so you can type smileys which look like Predators in your code ... [grin]

(;;)

I have a morbid fear of leaving blanks in for statements.
