Question

Answer 1

+5 A:

For i as Integer = 0 To 1 Step 0

If that's not hacky enough, can also write:

For i As Integer = 0 To 2
  i -= 1
Next

Yeah, first one is a whole lot cleaner if you for some reason had to use a For loop.

the integer would eventually overflow in the second version.

@Joe, it shouldn't. It should cycle back and forth between 0 and 1.

Jekke 2009-02-24 20:10:14

i see. i forgot about the hidden "step 1"

Why do you care? If it was intended to be a puzzle, you should have stated that in the question.

erikkallen 2009-02-24 21:43:13

It's not intended to be a puzzle. Thanks for your input.

If it's not intended to be a puzzle, then this is a valid answer.

Answer 3

+2 A:

or

while (true)

end while

ok, proper For answer:

Dim InfiniteLoop as Boolean = true;
For i = 1 to 45687894

    If i = 45687893 And InfiniteLoop = true Then i = 1
End For

jmein 2009-02-24 19:28:25

Maybe that's because he didn't know about other kinds of loops. A for loop that doesn't for will just confuse people because there's no point.

ck 2009-02-24 19:31:10

No more point than a while that doesn't end.

-1000000. For loop isn't the way to do it.
