5,648 Pointsinfinite while loop
Anybody know how to code an infinite while loop that will print out a number but every time the code is repeated the number will be incremented by 1. So it will look like this as shown below...
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 . . . etc
This is what I have so far but the "number += number +1;" line doesn't do anything and it's printing out zero??
int i =0;
do {
int number = 0;
printf("%d", number);
number += number +1;
} while (i < 1);
