Hi guys.

I do have an Question about while loops.

if i have an while loop like this:



without an wait(1) in it, does this while loop repeat faster than 1 frame?
If yes, how fast is it repeated? (roundabout)
And such an while loop would not give an possible endless loop error, is that right too?

greetings Mike

it can give you a possible loop error!
it will run as long as the anyvar is not zero (which can be more then 1000 times in one frame).

hope that helps,
regards

function main() {
var i = 0;
double j;
while(!key_e) { wait(1); }
timer();
while(i < 999999) {
i++;
}
j = timer();
printf("Time: %f",j);
}

This returns a value of 3625 microseconds for me and means
3625 * 1/1000000 sec = 0,003625 sec.
Divide it by 999999 and you have the speed.

The variable max_loops is set as default by 5000. You can make it higher for more passes in the whileloop without a wait.

@ Helghast: Yep that helped. Thanks

@ Superku: Hei, that really fast :-) Thanks

@Widi: Ah, cool, didint know there is such an var. cool. Thanks.

Thanks to all, that was exactly what i wanted to know :-)

Cool widi, never thought of that thanks.

I'm very sure that max_loops is for C-Script only. It doesn't have any relevance in lite-C anymore.

Exactly!

Ooops, you`re right. I make a test, it is only for C-Script.

Oh blimey
