    You have to realize you are slowing it down by A LOT by calling 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.

    But unless the loop writes something then how do you know the computer is counting...it could be skipping the loop altogether and laughing at you behind your back.

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

                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.

                      On Vista, the answer is "2 seconds remaining." and remains that way till the Sun shrinks to the size of a lump of coal.

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

                                    What computer? What language? What compiler? What version of compiler... I guess you’re not interested in result of 16-bit DOS program compiled by compiler with sizeof(int) = 4 that runs in 32-bit protected mode extender inside virtual 16-bit DOS box on 32-bit Windows 98 running on virtual machine run by 32-bit VirtualPC on 64-bit Vista through WoW64? Or maybe you are? :~

                                    Mostly, when you see programmers, they aren't doing anything. One of the attractive things about programmers is that you cannot tell whether or not they are working simply by looking at them. Very often they're sitting there seemingly drinking coffee and gossiping, or just staring into space. What the programmer is trying to do is get a handle on all the individual and unrelated ideas that are scampering around in his head. (Charles M Strauss)

                                        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?

                                        Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.
