I guess. But if I make the mistake of infinitely recursing I find out the next time I run my program. If I'm writing my own loops and make an off by one error it could go uncaught potentially forever.
- pekk 12y agoYou don't necessarily find out the next time you run your program. A stack overflow can go uncaught potentially forever.
- PaulHoule 12y agoOne of my favorite PHP gotchas is to accidentally write a function that calls itself infinitely, and then have the interpreter die without a warning message.
- Rusky 12y agoSo use iterators? Sometimes loops are just the clearer way to express something.
- mtdewcmu 12y agoIf a program is only doing a simple calculation and it's still running an hour later, you should probably suspect an infinite loop and not wait for it to stop.
