how long does it take for a computer to count from 0 to the maximum value of int ??
Somewhere between 4.5 and 7.2 femtoparsecs.

Fold With Us![^]i mean counting 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 .... 2147483647 by the way i m runin it now and i will get the result soon here is what i m doing
DateTime start = DateTime.Now; for (int i = 0; i < int.MaxValue; i++) { Console.WriteLine(i); } DateTime finish = DateTime.Now; Console.WriteLine("counting started at {0} and finished at {1}", start, finish); -

0 milliseconds - the VC++ compiler optimized the useless loop out of the program.

Console.WriteLine(i);In fact, calling ANYTHING inside that loop will slow it down. remove that line, and run again. also, make sure you run it without optimizations turned on, or the optimizer would just strip the forloop out. -

If a program encounters a loop in a forest, does the computer actually execute it? Marc

Release, Debug or Plain English?

OK - I just ran it and it took 8 seconds.
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString());
for (int i = 0; i < int.MaxValue; i++)
{
if (i == int.MaxValue - 2)
{
Console.WriteLine("Hi");
}
}
Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString());
Console.ReadLine();
}Two things come to mind - why do you want to do this and do you realise you just asked a programming question in the lounge?

You can't do that on Vista unless you have SP1 because Vista never finishes calculating how long it's going to take.

Nonsense - Vista recognises such an operation as a security risk, prompts the user for administrative access and then refuses to run the task regardless :)

Hmmm. I always thought of him as more as a noxious cloud of bum gas: invisible, lingering and stinking up the joint a treat. :)
