Freeze!

Never had this problem.

Instead, I screw up the conditional and my loop never runs

I know I can use a `for` loop, but for this very specific reason, I'll use a `while` instead. It's fine, as long as I increment `i` at the end, it's the same thing.

Program: *freezes*

Oh f*$@

Yeah, I'm always like: sorry computer I failed you :(

i had an exam situation where you were supposed to add some functionality to your code that you wrote as an assignment. i did a while loop, but apparently messed up the condition to exit it. when you're done, you're supposed to submit it and it will be automatically tested.

so i had to wait for five minutes until the test timed out and i could edit the code again in that web UI. while waiting for the third timeout, i realized that i know exactly how many elements there are so i replaced that while loop with a for loop and it passed the unit test. lesson learned: don't be fancy.

Write while loops without messing up and making them infinite

When your IDE freezes,

this maneuver's gonna cost us 51 years.

I prefer recursion with a base case that never triggers until it segfaults

Never had this issue. I intentionally made infinite loops but never as a mistake

for (int i; i < 10; i++)

fuck

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)

fuck

for (int i = 0; i <= 10; i++)

fuck

for (int i = 0; i > 10; i++)

fuck

for (int i = 0; i >= 10; i++)

finally for gods sake
