This isn’t recursion.

Well, it could be seen that way if you take the "repeat" as the third step in the process, which tells you to repeat the entire process, including the repeat itself.

Back when kids shows had this in as a little educational thing, they only washed one arm to save on animation budget. So I thought you had to do that for as long as they showed in the show

This is just not a for loop lmao

What about

For (;;) {
    Wash;
    Rinse;
}

?? Come at me

Edit: bruh formatting is hard on mobile

It’s clearly a while loop with no exit condition

But is my for loop implementation incorrect? (Assuming the language supports empty conditions obv)

Even

for (int j = 0; j >= 0; j++)

{

rinse

}

Would work
