while loop

[CIS]

Hi, I am a really beginner, I need help with this loop, I know it is an infinite loop but what else is wrong with it?

int x=0;
while (x)
{
++x;
cout<<x<< endl;
)

The last parenthesis should be } instead of ).

oops! I am sorry, I typed it wrong. Do you see any other problem? Something obvious?
When I tried to run the code in express, it doesn't run, it says to press any key to continue. So it means that is not an infinite loop...I don't know..

Well, x == 0 at the start so...

x=0, not x==0; it is not the same...I don't understand, so the first problem with this loop is that it doesn't cout ( is that the right expression?)

Thank you so much!

while (x)
is the same as
while (x != false)

x is 0 in the start so it never executes the loop code

Great! Thank you very much!!
