Has anyone else just counted to see how long they can?

[Braveskin]

I do that, but everyone else I know usually stops before 200. I myself have gotten to 600. Does anyone else count to a high number just to see if they can?

[KoRo]

Chuck Norris has counted to infinity.


Twice.

Iv'e never been THAT bored, although you know how on calculators if you press +1 = and then keep hitting = over and over, it keeps adding 1?  Iv'e done that through a couple classes in highschool when I was bored.

[Bovidi]

Yea I don't count to myself when I am bored instead I just turn over my paper and start writing
1
10
11
100
101
110
111
...

Largest number I got up to was like 300 or something

[KoRo]

is there a pattern to that? Or is it in binary?

[Bovidi]

It is just counting in base 2
1 = 1
10 = 2
11 = 3
100 = 4
101 = 5
....

[KoRo]

I can count to 31 on one hand

[slorge_gridlock]

one of my first BASIC programs did this, however, I never found the need to  simply count for no reason

10 a=o
20 let a=a+1
30 print a
40 goto 20

Code: [Select]

public class Thing{
     public static void main(String[] comm){
          int var = 0;
          while(true){
               var++;
          }
     }
}


Code: [Select]

Module Thing
     Sub Main()
          Dim var As Integer
          While True
               var += 1
          End While
     End Sub
End Module

Now here's a useful program.

Someone care to translate that?

Now available in two languages.

Someone care to translate that?

Won't it cause infinite loops.......ah the computer crashing

[GE]

Code: [Select]

public class Thing{

Public Nudity at School? ..Thats how I translate it.

It's more or less the same thing Slorge posted, only written in Java a VB.NET and it doesn't display the number as it counts.  It's more or less an infinite counting machine (which will error after var reaches 2,147,483,648).

[KoRo]

why such a random number?
