    Why is the while loop still executing?

    Code:
    
    
    Code:
    #include<stdio.h>
    int main()
    {
    unsigned int rowIndex = 0;
    int nRow = -1;
    while (rowIndex < nRow)
    {
    printf("%d\n", rowIndex);
    rowIndex++;
    }
    return 0;
    }

    nRow is converted to unsigned int, so it becomes the largest unsigned int value.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.
