helpless with while loop.

[kocika73]

Hi guys, the loop is really easy, and so simple I have no idea why I do not see what is wrong with it.
OK, it looks like this:

while (counter = 2, counter < entered_prime)
{
	modulus = entered_prime % counter;
	printf("Modulus %d, Times %d. ", modulus, counter);
	++counter;
}

I tried to insert printf inside the loop to see what is happening. The result was that the loop is infinite and the counter never increments.
Could someone be so nice and tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks.

place "counter = 2" before the while loop, instead of in the while argument, that should stop the infinite loop.

You're setting counter to 2 every time your loop checks its value. Also, are you sure you mean to be using the comma operator there? Or do you mean AND?

= is an assignment
== is a test for equality

Oh, right. The counter = 2 (assignment) should be outside. I thought there is no problem with these two arguments in while loop... Thanks, you're great! I think I messed it up with for loop
