Recursion
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/11/23
Apple fanboys all know about 1 Infinite Loop. Turbo Pascal adepts about the index entries “infinite loop See loop, infinite” and “loop, infinite See infinite loop”.
Google as a more direct approach: www.google.com/search?q=recursion

In most part because of [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers: “@xahteiwi I thought I had blog…” – Mastodon
@xahteiwi I thought I had blogged about this years ago, but probably only mentioned it on G+: the Turbo Pascal 7.0 Language Guide Index entries for– recursive loop
– infinite loop
– loop, infiniteIf memory serves me right, Richard Nelson put them there.That was some 10 years before the Apple One Infinite Loop address everyone and their mother talks about when mentioning recursion (:

The index of the 1992 Turbo Pascal 7.0 Language Guide also has an recursion entry for “recursive loop, see recursive loop”:

Since I put that as a whole page, here are pages 296 and 297 as well:
page 296; index entry “infinite loop See loop, infinite”

page 297; index entry “loop, infinite See infinite loop”
