    looping

    How can make my code to loop without defining any conditions. Just to loop no matter what?

    Well you could simply use *looks around, leans in, whispers* goto
    *ducks*

    However I would simply place a true constant in the parameters such as
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    
    void Foo(void); //prototype
    
    int main(void) {
    
    	do{  
    		Foo();
    	}while(1);
        return 0;
    }
    void Foo(void) { //function definition
    
        printf("Hello world\n");
    }
    This works for all types of loops. You can use a for loop and simply not increment your parameter as well:
    Code:
    for(int i = 0; i< 10; )
    What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

    or
    Code:
    for(;;)
    {
       ...
    }

    Do not use 'goto'. There are a very few rare occasions when it is acceptable to use, and this is NOT one of them. This is a perfect example of improper 'goto' usage. Go with sand_man or andyhunter's suggestions:
    Code:
    while(1)
    {
    }
    while(true)
    {
    }
    for(;;)
    {
    }
    Just Google It. √
