    This is what you would do and how you would do it:
    Code:
    while (!kbhit())
    {
    /*** do whatever you have to do ***/
    }
    Does this help?

    well you may want to use an if statement and a function that always gets a keystrok, and execute the if statement if a key is pressed. then you could have it x=100000, and that would stop it. you could also use the while loop suggested, but you would want to limit it by using a counter and another condition to the loop

    he has a for loop, it will end after a period of time, so if he wanted it to still do that, he would need a counter and an additional condiditon that includes the counter

    But why would you need a "limit"?

    I don't know, it is his code, but he had one in his example, so he will probably want one
