A loop either never halts or has a conditional. I guess a compiler could elide a “while True:” to a branch-less jump instruction.
One hack would be to use recursion and let stack exhaustion stop you.
- buzer 10mo agoOther would be to use goto (though Python doesn't have it) & introduce something that will panic/throw exception, like creating variable with value 1/(max-i).
- pinusc 10mo agoRecursion would work for that, you don't need goto. The division by zero trick is pretty good too!
- nodja 10mo agoCount down i from 100 to 0 and do 1/i at the end of the loop :)
