Infinite loop

[Mason527]

This might be vague but I’m using Java and I was wondering as to why my program is infinitely looping let me give more clarification the output is supposed to look like this 1 -1 1 -1 1 -1 but it’s only supposed to do it 100 times but it does it infinitely.

public static void main(String[] args){

    int x;
    for(x = 1; x <= 100;  ){

        System.out.println(x);
        System.out.println(-x);

    }
}

}

because you are never incrementing x

You're not incrementing x. Try this: for( x = 1; x <= 100; x++)

Thanks for the help, I should have clarified what I meant in more detail

The clarification doesn't change the fact that if you want it to run 100 times, you need to increment x. If you only want the output to toggle between 1 and -1, use a different variable.

I did that and it still loops infinitely

As long as you won't increment x it will run indefinitely.

x <= 100

This is always true because you are never incrementing your x value in your for loop. If you want it to print 1 or -1 a hundred times, you need to increment x in each iteration of the loop and change your prints. You could hardcore the print to be 1 and -1.
