This
Random r = new Random();
do
{
double d = r.NextDouble();
double x = (d + 1) * 1070000000;
int y = (int)x;
if (y == -y)
break;
} while (true);
Console.WriteLine("Exit");is an infinite loop. However, this
Random r = new Random();
do
{
double d = r.NextDouble();
double x = (d + 1) * 1080000000;
int y = (int)x;
if (y == -y)
break;
} while (true);
Console.WriteLine("Exit");terminates with probability 1 (try it, it exits quickly in practice). Quiz: explain why OK, some people got close, but.. it's trickier than that. Take a look at the spec[^], 13.2.1:
o In an unchecked context, the conversion always succeeds, and proceeds as follows. • The value is rounded towards zero to the nearest integral value. If this integral value is within the range of the destination type, then this value is the result of the conversion. • Otherwise, the result of the conversion is an unspecified value of the destination type.
So why 0x8000000? Implementation details, but that's what it does - usually. Not always, for example:
Console.WriteLine(unchecked((int)1E100));
Prints 0. On x64, the JIT compiler uses cvttsd2si[^] which gives 0x80000000 when the value is outside the range of an int. On x86, IIRC the JIT compiler used to use fistp[^] ("the integer indefinite value" is 0x80000000) (using fistp is annoying because it requires you to change the rounding mode twice) but now it stores the double to memory and then uses cvttsd2si (at least in my tests). I'm not sure if it ever uses fisttp, but that would also give 0x80000000.

Hmm...(2-5/2) = -1.5, (3-5/2) = -1, therefore -1.5 != -1.0, meaning 2!=3, 79!=80 and wings stay on aeroplanes and it all falls apart, took two looks over to get it, am I right! Dang someone post it before me! Leslie mode engaged :) !

Speaking of new math, I was always under the impression that 2-5/2 = -.5 and 3-5/2 = .5 ... :doh:

Hm. Makes sense for French speaking people. Q is used quite a lot there, I guess... And yeah. There are quite few pages on the web where you can use it ;)

I don't know, I studied in France. Anyway, in this part of the world, (a-b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab. If a=2 and b=5/2, (a-b)^2 = 4 + 25/4 + 2*2*5/2=4 + 25/4 + 10 If a=3 and b=5/2, (a-b)^2 = 9 + 25/4 + 2*3*5/2=4 + 25/4 + 15

These Brits sure are bad at math today...

As far as I know, that is true in all parts of the world...

"IDKFA" I can't forget those codes ever, I think :laugh:
Or IDSPISPOPD (later IDCLIP), to save time. Funny how the really important things always stay in your mind.

That's cheating! IDFA is OK, but you have to find the keys yourself!
