In java we can write infinite loop using both while and for
for(;;){
// doesn't stop[infinite loop]
}
and using while
while(true){
// doesn't stop[infinite loop]
}
the syntax for kotlin's while loop for creating infinite loop is the same.
How do I create an infinite loop using for loop just like the example I wrote above(equivalent code) using kotlin.
Thank you!
There's no easy syntax, but you could generate an infinite sequence with generateSequence:
for (i in generateSequence(0) { it }) {
}
Names _, __, ___, ..., are reserved in Kotlin in my IntelliJ IDEA 2020.3 then I replaced _ with i and worked well. Thought I was looking for an equivalent code for(;;){} but Thanks.
You can get something like the loop keyword in rust with the following:
fun loop(action: () -> Unit) {
while(true)
action()
}
// To use
loop {
println("Not going to stop!")
}
while(true)?while (true)is readable that is even used in pseudo codes, I don't think any confusing syntax is better.while (true)is ugly and I'm used to programming language with a more elegant form of the endless loop.while(true)in any of the languages I’ve learned.
