An "infinite loop" is a loop in which the exit criteria are never satisfied; such a loop would perform a potentially infinite number of iterations of the loop body. The general problem of determining whether the execution of a loop with given preconditions will result in an infinite loop is undecidable; in other words, there is no algorithm to determine whether an execution of a loop will eventually terminate. This is known as the halting problem.

While loop with scan in C
So my question is the following.
int n=0;
while(n<=0)
scanf("%d",&n);
This code enters in an infinite loop, and I don't have a clue why. When the user inputs a number > 0, the loop was supposed to stop.
And thanks:)

This is a subset of the problem I am trying to tackle. Assume that I have parsed some code and now I am trying to check if it is logically correct. One of those checks is that functions calls can't call themselves or be involved in another function…

Infinite for-loop
