C# for loop syntax

Question

I'm working on some C# code that has loop syntax that I've never seen before:

for (;;)
{
  //Do some stuff
}

What does a for loop without a init; condition; or increment do? By the way it's really hard to find meaningful search results on the internet for "for (;;) c#" on any search engine I tried.

That is an infinite loop. Like you stated, it will run until a part of it breaks (throws an exception or otherwise exists the loop) or the machine runs out of resources to support the loop.

for (;;)
{
   //do stuff
} 

Is just the same as:

do
{
   //do stuff
}while (true)

while(true)
{
   //do stuff
}
