Re: infinite loop

*hival as far as I knew has no end... isn't it an infinite number?

Re: infinite loop






Rob, I like your way better anyway - no math.

"do *hival" probably does an increment and compare.
"dow 1=1" only compares.

and, wouldn't "do *hival" eventually reach an end?

how big a number is *hival?
