You have run into an infinite loop.
'i' is implicitly defined as an 'int', i.e. it has 32 bits.
8 nines = 2^25 < 99,999,999 < 2^26, loop bound is 'int'
9 nines = 2^29 < 999,999,999 < 2^30, loop bound is 'int'
10 nines = 2^33 < 9,999,999,999 < 2^34, loop bound is 'long'
Your condition 'i < loops' will always be true.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
--Winston Churchill

That is so true! It happens all the time. Btw, their leading Griff has 34M points  ; I wonder if Jon Skeet would ever take a snapshot like that.

Seriously. I have encountered so many nonsensical posts here at Code Project, it either makes my LMAO or it makes my cry.  Why doesn't some genius at CodeProject design a filtering algorithm that decides if the post first resembles ANY form of intelligence? I am certain that the mediators would love this idea.

The first thing they will do is tag and remove any post that contains more than one emoticon.

I refer you to the following line at the top of this page:
"For lazing about and discussing anything in a software developer's life that takes your fancy except programming questions"
Not everything in the Lounge needs to be serious or "intelligent". Some lazing about and talking nonsense is allowed!
|
|
|
|
|
That's just the Lounge. I have a feeling he means QA.

Oh! But then he should have said so. 
|
|
|
|

I wasn't trying to be serious, but I do try to demonstrate intelligence on a regular basis. Mostly my post was intended as a joke, since I don't think it would be possible to ever design an algorithm that could accurately evict nonsensical posts!
|
|
|
|
|
No, we can't detect intelligence, but we can certainly go the other way
Have the geniuses at CP give us a choice of which filter to send our post through before posting.. valspeak, pig latin, Swedish chef.. the possibilities are endless.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

Depends on where the post is: most visitors don't realise that QA isn't for answers, it's an intelligence test. Post a question, and it gets sent to all future employers as part of the interview process.

If that were printed at the top of every QA page, the problem would be 72% resolved!

Really? That is interesting. So there's a bunch of people on CodeProject being vetted by employers. You're right. I did not realize that. It sure explains why there are so many posts written by people that can barely communicate in English.

Well, at least you believe there are "sensical" posts.
I have given up on the idea of finding any sensical post that was not written by myselves.

Ah Bill, we've read your posts - I would give up hope finding sensical there as well

Well, the Duchess put it a lot better than that when she said, to Alice:
"and the moral of that is--'Be what you would seem to be'--or if you'd like it put more simply--'Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.' "
