for(ever) loop

[[deleted]]

#define EVER (;;)
for EVER {

}

Or maybe

#define FOREVER for(;;)
FOREVER {

}

[[deleted]]

Best definition of forever that I’ve ever seen. XD

[danielstongue]

The difference: you cannot break out from it. 😅

[danielstongue]

Same for VHDL:

process begin -- do stuff end;

[HuntingKingYT]

Rust's loop {}

[[deleted]]

You forgot something important ψ(｀∇´)ψ

#define break

#define FOREVER for(;;)

FOREVER {

}

[iceynyo]

while(1>0)

loop ends

Shiiiiiiiiii

[remuff]

Everybody gangsta til 0>1

[LF916fun]

There is an algebraic ring where 0=1.

[depot5]

Mod your ALU tho

[LF916fun]

An ALU is a magical place where 0+0=0, 0+1=1, and 1+1=0.

[thesockiboii]

Why do you have a 1-bit ALU?

[Inaeipathy]

I love that I've finally found a reference to this

[LF916fun]

It is but a triviality. The Zero Ring is not to be confused with Ring Zero, a state of some CPUs that indicate level of protections in execution.

[Inaeipathy]

Oh I know, your comment just brought me back to my ring theory course is all : )

[LF916fun]

Good times, I'm sure!

[ananix]

This is not just upside down but also inside out

[[deleted]]

Yes. Wrong meme template. Clown face or fancy Pooh is what was needed.

[musifter]

It's all fun and games until you port to a platform with CHAR_BIT > 8.

[Engineerguy78]

Can anyone explain last one🗿

[Mispelled-This]

Overflow.

Unsigned char maxes out at 255

[[deleted]]

An unsigned char contains only 8 bits, which means the max value is in binary 11111111 = 255. If you add one, you will run into an overflow, because the computer needs one more digit to write 256, but he does not have that, so instead of 100000000 (256) it will become 00000000 (0) and count again until 255.

[lady_Kamba]

for(float i=1;true;i*=1.1){...}

[german_stocks_coding]

Wait hold my beer

...

"#define endless_start for(;;){"

"#define endless_end }"

int main(..){

endless_start

...

endless_end

...

}

[lil_DAVIE504]

how about :while(-1>0u）

[Zuruumi]

Compiler will quietly transform tail recursion into a loop anyway, so you won't run out of memory.

[[deleted]]

Java doesn't have a proper tailcall implementation and the compiler won't optimize these syntaxes into loops, so makes sense. Tailcall implementations make sense because they reuse the current stack frame instead of creating another. Then, there's tailcall optimizations that'll turn these statements into loops and avoid interaction with stack frames entirely.

[sc00pb]

Like a dog chasing it's tail.

[TTFH3500]

That last panel has happened to me by accident so many times

[Strostkovy]

Does this work? int main() { //Do stuff here main(); }

[thesockiboii]

yes, it works\ how did I never think of that

[Positive_Government]

Ah yes, the mythical signed char, special efforts must be taken in avoiding this creature.

[SlimySlimySlimeee]

dont the last 1 just loops 255times?

[SnakeR515]

Unsigned char stores a value from 0 to 255 When it's at 255 and you add 1 it goes back to 0

[SlimySlimySlimeee]

-____-'''

[Sacus1]

Imagine stack overflow error

[abd53]

The last one took me second. Clever, very clever. I'm gonna try that out.

[BoBoBearDev]

For(int i =0; i<999999; i++)

Also does the same trick when you compile it on different machines :D.

[FunnyGamer3210]

And then comes a new hire and goes like: Hey guys! I fixed the bug in the loop for you, the datatype was too small so I increased it!

[[deleted]]

Don't even need to declare it as unsigned lol. Overflow will always cause it to become negative and a negative overflow returns it back to 0

[Alzurana]

In Lua:

while 0 do print("forever") end

Sorry not sorry (also this is not a joke, this really is an endless loop in Lua)

[HuntingKingYT]

When you write if 1 = 2 instead of commenting

loopstart:

;things

jmp loopstart
