Rust Programming Tutorial #7 - Infinite Loop

Alright so today we're looking at how we can put infinite loops in our Rust programs - this is done through the 'loop' keyword.

We also take a look at 'break' which is helpful when backing out of the loop and the 'continue' statement when we want to skip over some stuff.

A cool trick with loops is that you can "name" the loop. So you say 'outer: loop and 'inner: loop and say break 'outer; when you are in an inner loop... Very nice !

Sweet tutorial mate, please keep them coming!

It is unfortunate that loop labels are not in the video. Just today I wrote a for loop within a loop loop and break needed a label to break the outer loop. Nevertheless thank you for the overall great Videos!

I had been wondering about this FOR a WHILE now (lol sorry)
If you had to make an infinite loop, why waste your time checking true after every iteration if you know you're going to go through the loop again? This feature makes sense.

Great tutorials. Loop is a new concept coming from c++ :D. I see this is a future tutorial, but wouldn't something like this be best done by a for loop?

same functionality than while ( true ), but I don't know about performance differences
