Inside a for loop, like for /l %c in (0,0,0) do echo %c, why does it become an endless loop? Shouldn't it be the same as for /l %c in (1,1,1) do echo %c?

Because the increment in this for is 0, which means after each loop, the result is still the initial value 0, so it keeps looping.
And with (1,1,1), after one loop it becomes 2, which is greater than the 1 at the end, so it only loops once.
for /l %a in (1,0,1) do @echo %a is also an infinite loop.
