#include<stdio.h> int main() { unsigned int i = 65535; /* Assume 2 byte integer*/ while(i++ != 0) printf("%d",++i); printf("\n"); return 0; }
Step 1:unsigned int i = 65535;
Step 2:
Loop 1: while(i++ != 0) this statement becomes while(65535 != 0). Hence the while(TRUE) condition is satisfied. Then the printf("%d", ++i); prints '1'(variable 'i' is already incremented by '1' in while statement and now incremented by '1' in printf statement) Loop 2: while(i++ != 0) this statement becomes while(1 != 0). Hence the while(TRUE) condition is satisfied. Then the printf("%d", ++i); prints '3'(variable 'i' is already incremented by '1' in while statement and now incremented by '1' in printf statement)
....
....
The while loop will never stops executing, because variable i will never become '0'(zero). Hence it is an 'Infinite loop'.
