The EDSAC instruction set does not include an unconditional jump: it is necessary to synthesize it by using either an <code>E</code> "branch on accumulator sign bit clear" or <code>F</code> "branch on accumulator sign bit set" order, in circumstances where the condition is guaranteed to be met. For this specific task, guaranteeing it is trivial: printing characters does not change the contents of the accumulator at all. The solution presented here, however, is more general. We use a <code>T</code> "transfer and clear" order to store the accumulator's contents in storage address <i>θ</i>+17, then jump back to the beginning of the loop and reload the accumulator with an <code>A</code> "add" order. Note that the storage address used as a temporary variable should be set to zero on entry to the loop. |

Although this idiom is very common (in many programming languages), however, it feels a bit like a misuse of a looping construct that is meant to be conditional. If an unconditional jump is really what we want, then that is what we have <tt>goto</tt> for; or rather, in XLISP we do not have <tt>goto</tt> (in so many words) but we can achieve the effect of it using tail recursion. |

BASIC
Old-fashioned syntax:
while 1
print "SPAM"
wend
Standard BASIC:
do
print "SPAM"
loop
Also
for i = 1 to 10 step 0
print "SPAM"
next i
The most intuitive method is to use the GOTO
statement.
10 print "SPAM"
20 goto 10
Generally, using GOSUB
in place of GOTO
is incorrect. Some programming bugs come about when a GOSUB
causes a potentially infinite loop, however, eventually stack memory will fill up and cause a terminating error as shown in this Commodore BASIC example:
ready. new ready. 10 print "spam! ";:gosub 10 run spam! spam! spam! spam! spam! spam! spam ! spam! spam! spam! spam! spam! spam! sp am! spam! spam! spam! spam! spam! spam! spam! spam! spam! spam! spam! spam! ?out of memory error in 10 ready. █
The solution is to keep the stack empty, however, this will also clear all variables used and prevent the use of RETURN
ing from the "subroutine". This is accomplished with the CLEAR
(or CLR
in Commodore BASIC) placed at the start of the loop.
10 clr:print "Commodore Spam! ";:gosub 10
10 clear : print "Apple Spam! ";: gosub 10
Rather than a GOTO
, instead we can use a FOR... NEXT
statement:
10 for i = 1 to 10 step 0 : rem A zero step makes the loop infinite
20 print "SPAM";
30 next i
In most cases, we can also call the RUN
command from within the program.
10 print "Spam! ";
20 run
IF... THEN
has an implied GOTO
on some BASICs...
10 print "SPAM SPAM! ";:if 1 then 10

while true

end while
Commodore BASIC
In addition to the general examples listed above for BASIC, there is a trick to get a Commodore BASIC program to endlessly loop its listing. All of the lines of code are a linked list in RAM. The trick is accomplished by modifying the pointer to the next line, which is recorded at the very start of each tokenized BASIC line. Instead of it pointing to the next line, you can make it point to a previous line, or itself. This will affect execution when any GOTO
or GOSUB
needs to reference any line number after the affected line, since the line search will be corrupted (and endless...)
For example, on the Commodore 64, BASIC program storage begins at $0800 (2048) with a NULL byte, the first line begins at $0801 with the little-endian pointer to the memory address that begins the next line. After entering the short program, POKE
a 1 into the low byte portion of the pointer (location $0801) causing complete pointer value to be $0801... pointing to itself. Then run or list the program for endless looping fun.
Other similarly structured BASICs based on the early Microsoft BASIC (where the LIST
routine follows the linked list pointers) can be manipulated in the same manner if it is known where BASIC program memory starts.

The difference between these is that in the second, other activities can be interleaved with the loop; in the first, no other processing will occur in this vat.
EDSAC order code
The EDSAC instruction set does not include an unconditional jump: it is necessary to synthesize it by using either an E
"branch on accumulator sign bit clear" or F
"branch on accumulator sign bit set" order, in circumstances where the condition is guaranteed to be met. For this specific task, guaranteeing it is trivial: printing characters does not change the contents of the accumulator at all. The solution presented here, however, is more general. We use a T
"transfer and clear" order to store the accumulator's contents in storage address θ+17, then jump back to the beginning of the loop and reload the accumulator with an A
"add" order. Note that the storage address used as a temporary variable should be set to zero on entry to the loop.

Alternatively,

This second implementation relies on numeric inaccuracies in IEEE floating point notation. For example, 1+1e98 is exactly equal to 1e98. That said, 1e98 iterations would still be significantly longer than the practical life of any machine anyone would care to dedicate to this task.

M2000 Interpreter
All loops can stop using Esc or Ctrl+C or Break (the last two open dialog box to stop or continue). Using Escape Off we make Esc not work for breaking execution. If Esc works then Ctrl + Y (and other letters except C, A, Z, X, N, M. F, L), open Control form, which we can do: Next Step, Slow Flow, Stop, and we can show code,current stack, variables, or execute immediate statements. This works only in console, not in M2000 forms.

For a shorter version, note that print
returns gnil
which is evaluated as false
.
A 'cheating' solution might use print(SPAM)
on the hope that the variable SPAM is uninitialized and hence prints as the monomial in itself.
But with the '
operator that evaluation can be forced, regardless of the current value (if any) of that variable:

When Repeat.
appears by itself, execution proceeds from the beginning of the routine. Normally you would include a conditional statement to break or exit when a condition is met, but not in this case.
To run:
Start up.
Write SPAM forever.
Shut down.
To write SPAM forever:
Write "SPAM" to the console.
Repeat.

Compile in console mode, with, e.g. "pdftex <file name>".

Python
In Python 2:
while 1:
print "SPAM"
In python 3:
while 1:
print("SPAM")
Note: one can also use: "True" or any other non-false value. In Python the following values are false: 0, "" (empty string), (,) and {} and [] (empty tuples, dictionaries or lists), None (the special object), and the False object. Any non-empty collection or string or non-zero numeric value is considered "True". However, according to Python Wiki, for Python versions 2.3+ this variant is optimized by the interpreter and thus is the fastest.

XLISP
It is of course possible to use a WHILE
loop with a condition that will always evaluate to true:
(defun keep-printing-spam ()
(while t
(display "SPAM")
(newline) ) )
Although this idiom is very common (in many programming languages), however, it feels a bit like a misuse of a looping construct that is meant to be conditional. If an unconditional jump is really what we want, then that is what we have goto for; or rather, in XLISP we do not have goto (in so many words) but we can achieve the effect of it using tail recursion.
(defun keep-printing-spam ()
(display "SPAM")
