I'm using a
while (true)
{
if (x == y)
{
break;
}
else
{
//do stuff
}
}
loop like so, the frame is just an example frame, as the actual code itself is convoluted and overly complicated that it requires a "break;" statement in multiple different areas for multiple different conditions. My question is; Is there a way to write a loop statement without the loop checking for a condition at all? Is there a more efficient way to write an infinite loop other than while(true)?
edit: (java)
edit2:
while (a < b)
{
while (true)
{
if (c < d)
{
if (e == null)
{
//do alot of stuff
break;
}
else
{
//do something
}
}
else if (d > c)
{
if (e == null)
{
//do alot of stuff
break;
}
else
{
//do something
}
}
else if (d == c)
{
break;
}
}
a = a + 1;
}

You can write an infinite loop in multiple ways, but they are all equivalent. Neither is really more efficient than the others:
while (true) { ... }
do { ... } while (true);
for (;;) { ... }
Depending on the actual code, it may make sense to reverse the "break-loop-logic" into "continue-loop-logic", as in:
boolean continueLoop;
do {
continueLoop = false;
// ... do stuff ...
if ( some condition ) {
continueLoop = true;
}
// ... do stuff ...
} while (continueLoop);
