What's wrong with this?

int x = 0;

while( x <= 0 )
{

cout << x << endl;

if( x == -1 )
cout << "Negative" << endl;

x--;

}

Logic error?

What are you trying to accomplish?

[GreatBlitz]

What do you mean won't run? Does it not compile, or does it not do what you want it to do?

[camk16]

I'm told there's a "logic" error.

[Zhuge]

Well, this loop will certainly go forever. Presumably, this wasn't the goal, which is why I was asking what you are trying to accomplish. It's hard to tell what the logic error is without knowing the goal.

[camk16]

I was given that code and told that there is a "logic" error. That's it, that's all the info I have.

[camk16]

Perhaps the answer is just that: that it is illogical to have a loop go on forever?
