Why does this code produce an infinite loop?
for(int i=0; i<10; ) {
i = i++;
System.out.println("Hello World!");
}

for what reason would you need to do this when you can just say (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) – BaneDad Jul 31 '17 at 21:06

This is infinite. You, every time, resetting i to 0 after each for iteration. YOu can test below code for understanding. ` for(int i=0; i<10; ) { i = i++; System.out.println(i); }` – Uddhav P. Gautam Jul 31 '17 at 21:09

Because `i = i++;` should just be `i++;`. If you tried to do `for (int i=0; i<10; i = i++)` you would have the same problem, for reasons explained in the duplicate question. – Sean Van Gorder Jul 31 '17 at 21:20
