how long does it take for a computer to count from 0 to the maximum value of int ??
If a program encounters a loop in a forest, does the computer actually execute it? Marc

Release, Debug or Plain English?

hehehehe anyway it is runing for more than 1 hour so far what i got is 154500000
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.

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.

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. :)

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) = 4that 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)

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.I believe it should take around or less than 10 seconds on a modern 2GHz processor. My reasoning is that the increment will take 1 clock cycle and the looping should be predicted so that will be like a near jump. I believe that will be less than 4 cycles. So in total less than (or equal to) 5 cycles per loop on a machine that does 2 billion cycles per second...

with this
static void Main(string[] args) { 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); }it took more than 10 hours
