Java: Infinite Loop

Question

There are a lots of option available for infinite loop but this are mostly use while(true) or for(;;)

I know while(true) is the best option, since it is easier to understand.

But I want to use for(;;).

I want to know what is going on inside of for loop when I we used two ; within for loop.

for(;;)

Semicolon means its an empty statement. But how its works when we use inside of for loop for infinite execution?

I don't know the answer to this question. But I do know how to answer it. I would compile a simple java program using the construct and then examine it with a decompiler like javap. I would not be surprised if `while(true)` and `for(;;)` generate the same byte code. I also would not be surprised if they differ. — emory, Feb 04 '16 at 07:52

This is what happens:

for (initialization statement; condition check; increment/decrement)
    // loop body;

With for(;;):

Therefore it will run forever, exactly like while(true).
