==Language support== {{see also|Control flow}} Infinite loops can be implemented using various [[control flow]] constructs. Most commonly, in unstructured programming this is jump back up ([[goto]]), while in structured programming this is an indefinite loop (while loop) set to never end, either by omitting the condition or explicitly setting it to true, as <code>while (true) ...</code>. Some languages have special constructs for infinite loops, typically by omitting the condition from an indefinite loop. Examples include Ada (<code>loop ... end loop</code>),<ref>[[b:Ada Programming/Control#Endless Loop|Ada Programming: Control: Endless Loop]]</ref> Fortran (<code>DO ... END DO</code>), Go (<code>for { ... }</code>), Ruby (<code>loop do ... end</code>), and Rust (<code>loop { ... }</code>).
