For loop with no parameters in Java

Question

I am looking at somebody else\'s code and I found this piece of code:

for (;;) {

I\'m not a Java expert; what is this line of code doing?

Answer 1

Remember the three clauses of the for() are [1] initialization [2] termination and [3] increment. Since the termination clause is empty the loop never terminates. This is directly taken from C syntax.
