While loop

**konark** · 12-04-2005

A while loop will only execute while the condition/expression evaluates to true. Is it True?

What the...

Yeah, but the condition is only checked each time it loops around.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
int main ( ) {
  while ( 0 ) printf("No it's not\n" );
  return 0;
}

Or, rather:

Code:

#include <iostream>

int main(void) {
    while(0) std::cout << "No it's not\n";

    return 0;
}

you can do
while(1)
while(true)
while(0)
while(false)
all mean the same thing basically,
think you can even do
while(10000000000000) //just as long as its higher than 1

Equal but opposite.

think you can even do
while(10000000000000) //just as long as its higher than 1

You might get something like "number is so long that it is unsigned".

The question has nothing to do with 10000000000000.
