Infinite Loops

[GoZelda]

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 =\

[Thought]

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

[GoZelda]

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.

[protagonist]

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.

[GoZelda]

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.

[Kaimetsu]

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

[Destorm]

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

[faenix]

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();
}

[Destorm]

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*

[wonderboysp2p]

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.

[wonderboysp2p]

isnt there an npc on 2k1 that calulates pi?

[TribulationStaff]

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

[GoZelda]

pi is infinite...

No, it just has infinite complexity.

[GoZelda]

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

[TribulationStaff]

No, it just has infinite complexity.

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.

[wonderboysp2p]

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...

[wonderboysp2p]

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

[adam]

*sigh*

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



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

[wonderboysp2p]

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
