that's fine , no problem :D
I think i can move faster now as i know the small mistakes i have done till now from the great reviews :)

But if it finds only the maximum ones why it hadn't returned willreturn here , as it shouldn't have seen the while inside

  ; int non_loop_inside_loop(int n) {
  ;   int ans = 0;
  ;   for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
  ;     while (1)
  ;       ans++;
  ;   }
  ;   return ans;
  ; }
