How do we know if they're a draw?  All you people who are arguing
which is better:  one of you code an infinite loop with for(;;)
and one of you code an infinite loop with while(1).  When they
finish, wake me (from the dead) and tell me.

The rest of us can go RTFS.  TFS says that both forms are legal.
This is the only answer that belongs in ThisFNewsgroup.

Some of us will even use optimizers when we can get our hands on them.
Though this does not belong in ThisFNewsgroup.
