infinite loop?multiples of 2/

Code:

---

/*

#include<iostream>
#include<conio.h>

using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;

int main()
{
    // declare variables
    int x,counter;
   
    cout<<"\n\n\t\t"<<2;
   
    // print squares
    for(x=2;x<=counter;x*=2)
    {
        cout<<"\n\n\t\t"<<x*2;
    }
   
getch();
}

Is this code logically corrrect.In order to make it infinite what condition/s should be used.

Is the code correct. Doubt it. Especially as counter is unitialised to anything at first use.

Infinite loop.... easy....

Code:

---

while ( true )
{
  // blah blah
  if ( some condition ) break;
}

---

Alternatively:

Code:

---

for( ; ; ) {
// ... etc ...
}

---

Infinite loop the functional way:

Code:

---

template<typename F>
void infinite( const F& f )
{
    f();
    infinite(f);
}

---

Not very good in C++, though. In fact, don't use it.

Okay, let's do it the easy way:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

using std :: cin;
using std :: cout;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  int X = 1;
  while(X = 1)
  {
    cout << "Infinite loop printing this... ";
  }
  cin.get();
  return 0;
}

Well, while 'X = 1' will always be true. Did you mean 'X == 1', though? At any rate, I fail to see how that is easier or more elegant than 'while(true)' or 'while(1)'.

or you could use a forever for loop.....

Code:

---

for (;;) //forever loop....
{
    do something
    if  ( something )
        { break; }
}

Everyone's right but they didn't point out that you have to have an exit condition to exit these types of loops save stoned coder and littleweseth and you'd have to do something to modfy the value of "X" n SirCronos' code. (Sang-drax's may eventually drain your system resources; infinite recursion as opposed loops run you out of memory).

Well just going by what was given, the only thing the original poster requested was a change to make the loop infinite. They never said anything about breaking out of it.

Quzah.

:D Show them how to jump off the edge of the cliff because they asked; but not how to fly eh quzah??;)

It's their decision to jump and their fault if they break their neck :D
