Loop will continue indefinitely until it meets with some break statement
somewhere in its loop body.

While can also be terminated with a break statement, but more traditionally,
it ends when the condition specified in the while statement is satisfied.
If you have "while 1" as you've written here though, the two should be
functionally equivalent.
