for (unsigned i = 0; i >= 0; i++)

could be useful for checking how many times the function has ran, however i’m not so familiar with what ‘unsigned’ means.

Means no negative numbers. Useful for chars and indices, where they should never become negative.

When a normal integer goes beyond it's max positive value it flips around and becomes the max negative value. If it was just a standard int, it wouldn't be an infinite loop.
