for loop - Explain the output of a c program -

#include<stdio.h> main() {     static int i=1;     printf("\nsoftware");                                                                        for(;i<5;i++)         main();     return 0; } 

the output comes out infinite loop. please explain.

you calling main function main function. after call new main function print string , again call main function.

your i variable not incremented @ all, because not incremented in first iteration of loop. after call main, never return previous main next iteration of loop happen. loop infinite , i equal 1. if changed loop other loop, loop still infinite.

i'm including repaired code, fun of it:

#include<stdio.h>  int main() {     static int i=0;     if(i>=5) return 0;     i++;     printf("\nsoftware %i", i);     main();     return 0; }
