And while on the subject...[^]

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Count your nines...

I was testing how many 9s would it take to make CPU work for a long time... I tried creating a loop, for count the result, Smile | :)

// loops and res are both of "long" type
for (var i = 0; i < loops; i++)
{
   res += i;
}

I did wrap it in an async model to run the timer for updating the UI. The interesting thing for me was, using 0-8 9s (9, 99, 999...) took only a fraction of 1 second to perform the calculation, when I added 9th 9 it took 7 seconds. Just when I typed another 9, it... well is working still. 438 seconds have passed on this calculation and still result isn't there. Sigh | :sigh:

It reminds me of the "Transistor as an amplifier" term, after all "nine billion nine hundred ninety-nine million nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine" is really a very big quantity. Laugh | :laugh:

You have run into an infinite loop.

'i' is implicitly defined as an 'int', i.e. it has 32 bits.

8 nines = 2^25 < 99,999,999 < 2^26, loop bound is 'int'
9 nines = 2^29 < 999,999,999 < 2^30, loop bound is 'int'
10 nines = 2^33 < 9,999,999,999 < 2^34, loop bound is 'long'

Your condition 'i < loops' will always be true.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Seriously. I have encountered so many nonsensical posts here at Code Project, it either makes my LMAO Laugh | :laugh:

or it makes my cry. Cry | :((

Why doesn't some genius at CodeProject design a filtering algorithm that decides if the post first resembles ANY form of intelligence? I am certain that the mediators would love this idea. Cool | :cool:

I wasn't trying to be serious, but I do try to demonstrate intelligence on a regular basis. Mostly my post was intended as a joke, since I don't think it would be possible to ever design an algorithm that could accurately evict nonsensical posts! Smile | :)

No, we can't detect intelligence, but we can certainly go the other way Smile | :)

Have the geniuses at CP give us a choice of which filter to send our post through before posting.. valspeak, pig latin, Swedish chef.. the possibilities are endless.

We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.
