endless loop question

[sumit kothalikar]

see the following program

 class testfor{
   static int z=0;
     public static void main(String [] args){
       for(int x=10;x>5;x++) // an endless loop
        z++;           // line 1
       System.out.println("ff");
    }
}  

this program gives me endless loop when i comment line 1.
I know the logic of for loop makes it to be endless loop but the above code compiles and runs successfully even if it has endless loop in code
is it related to static instance variable?

Why do you expect a error here?

This code will always execute an endless loop whether you comment line 1 or not, try to wrap the for loop code into {}.

Line 1 has no impact in making or stoping endless loop

What happen when un-comment line? It also should give endless loop!

[sumit kothalikar]

it is not giving endless loop though it should be on my machine.
i did this code for my understanding that static variable has nothing to do with endless loop
and i noticed that even writing a semicolon instead of any statement does not result into endless loop
this code runs and compiles without giving endless loop

   
class testfor{
   static int z=0;
     public static void main(String [] args){
       for(int x=10;x>5;x++) // an endless loop
       ;
       System.out.println("ff");
    }
}  
  

thanks
it is solved my doubt is cleared
