While (true) forever loop expected body function error-CodePudding

I'm new here. I am trying to do a forever loop with while (true) but can't seem to get it working. I have tried iterations without int main(void) as well.

#include <cs50.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
while (true)
{
printf("goddamnit\n")
}

~/ $ make goddamnit

[clang -ggdb3 -00 -std=c11 -Wall -Werror -Wextra -Wno-sign-compare -Wno
-unused-parameter-Wno-unused-variable-Wshadow
goddamnit. c
-cryp
-Ics50 -1m -0 goddamnit
goddamnit.c:5:1: error: expected function body after function declarator
while (true)
A
1 error generated.
make:
*** \[‹builtin>; goddamnit\] Error 1][1]

Same problem on my <> loop

int i = 0;
while (i < 50) 
{
printf(“goddamnit\n”);
i  ;
}

CodePudding user response：

You are missing {} braces around your main() function's body, it needs to look more like this instead:

#include <cs50.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{ // <-- add this
    while (true)
    {
        printf("goddamnit\n")
    }
} // <-- add this

Block statements like if, for, while, etc can omit {} when their body is a single statement. Functions cannot do that.
