Infinite Loops
 

Wouln't it be fun to check out how many infinite loops there are? I found... four. The Timeout loop.
if (playerenters||timeout){
//stuff
timeout = 1;
}
the for loop
for (i=1;i>0;i++){
//stuff;
sleep 1;
}
the while loop
while (1=1){
//stuff
sleep 1;
}
the recursive function
loop();
function loop(){
//stuff
sleep 1;
loop();
}
i haven't tested above one =\

I know an infinite loop, it's called Graal, when it's running, of course. :p

I know another one, its called vendetta. And another one, it's called PKing.

Unless i'm mistaken (sorry if I am) sleep isnt a loop but a pause command? Also function(){} isn't a loop either.

Use several!!!!11

NPC Code:

---

function loop(){

  a=0;

}

if(timeout){

  timeout = 1;

  a++;

   if(a=100){

      loop();

   }

}

---

P.S:There are alot of infinite loop possibilities.

Destorm, erm... well...

Sleep is a command he is using in a loop so that his computer doesn't crash. It basically makes his for loop like a timeout loop. Function he is using to switch back and forth.

Timeouts aren't really loops per se, nor are recursive functions. And a for loop is basically just an extended while.

Basically the only real loops are for and while although timeout can be used as a loop

you can have an infinite amount of loops anyway. I don't see the point in this but all you're doing is a creating a conditions that can never be satisfied... and in mathematics there's an unlimited amount of conditions like that.
while (1==1) while (2==2) while (3==3) while (1+1==2) while (1/1==1) while (1^1==1) while (1^3==1)
hehe you get the point

So who would like to slap him/her in the face first?

o.O :(

*raised hand*

while (1==1) {
slapeveryone();
sleep .05;
}
function slapeveryone() {
for (i=0;i==i;i++) {
slapposter[i%postercount];
}
slapeveryone();
}

for (i=0;i=>2;i--) {
slapposter[i%postercount];
}

why all the bells and whistles ;-)

To add the effect, I mean at a movie you don't just sit down and then the movies done. You have to see the action.
*slaps*
*gets slapped*

id be happy with just sound effects...

if (strequals(#a,faenix)){
while(1==1){
play UBERSLAP.wav;
}
}

oops.. forgive that post i just woke up lol

Or you could do what they did in the earliest viruses, make something calculate Pi or the squareroot of two. Lovely thing, continued fractions.

isnt there an npc on 2k1 that calulates pi?

It may approximate it, but you can never actually calculate pi.

pi is infinite...

No, it just has infinite complexity.

That's right. But would 1 divived by 3 have an infinite complxity or IS it infinite?

to oversimplify, infinite is to big as infinite complexity is to alot of friggen numbers that aren't necessarily big

Eh, if we really want to get technical we could just say it was irrational.

True, but that doesn't say quite the same thing. 1/3 is not irrational, but its denary representation has infinite complexity. I'm not even sure if 'infinite complexity' is a mathematical term - I chose it because its meaning is intuitive.

was there a purpose to this thread at some point?

What if someday 1 doesn't equal 1? Hmm? HMMM?!

what would we care? when 1 doesn't equal 1 then our heads would explode due to the fact that we now actually have 2 or 3 or any other number of heads...

*gasps*
if (created) 1=random(0,450);


:megaeek:

*sigh*

I like the square root of 2. It's useful.



Irrational numbers... bah they just.... they just aren't rational!

irrational?? nu nu nu!! what if NASA only used rational numbers?? the hubbletelescope would crash into the earth and the sun would explode and 7-11's worldwide would lock their doors
