I should refine that statement: it'd loop forever no matter what because there
are no conditions for the loop to end and the 'let' is unnecessary. You should
use an IF-THEN loop if you actually want to make sense. Right now, if it were
written so as the data were to be printed, it would be

0
1
0
1
0
... ad infinitum.

So, bleh.
