[RESOLVED] Generating Numbers..

[Jaquio]

Hmm, not sure how to put this really.. I wanna know if it's possible to generate a WHOLE list of the possible combinations you can make using 0-9.. An I want it to remove doubles if there are any.. Is there ANYWAY at all this coule be done?

[d3gerald]

for sure you can, how many digits you want

[Jaquio]

Oops, sorry I thought I posted how many I wanted. I wanna generate every possible 8 digit number using 0-9.. Thanks .

[d3gerald]

sure you can, use a nested loop to do that

[Jaquio]

Erm, explain? :\

Where are you going to store 100 million numbers?

Dim i as Long
For i = 0 to 99999999
   '..
Next

See, I tried that once before I posted here.. I tried everything.. I don't need it to start at 0 I need it to start at 00000000 and end at 99999999... Every digit has to be 8 digits long..

[jcis]

Dim i As Long
    For i = 0 To 99999999
        MsgBox Format$(i, "00000000")
    Next

[Jaquio]

Heh.. Anyway at all to make VB not freeze for this?

[jcis]

try adding a DoEvents inside the loop, and what are you doing with that values? That's why I asked if you're storing them somewhere or what, the MsgBox is just an example it shouldn't be there.

try

do while i< 99999999
doevents
    Dim i As Long
    For i = 0 To 99999999
        MsgBox Format$(i, "00000000")
    Next
loop

[jcis]

try

do while i< 99999999
doevents
    Dim i As Long
    For i = 0 To 99999999
        MsgBox Format$(i, "00000000")
    Next
loop

Why you added another loop if you already have one?

do while i< 99999999

    Dim i As Long
    For i = 0 To 99999999
        MsgBox Format$(i, "00000000")
    Next
loop

Yea, he is right. the

do while i < 99999999
'blah blah
loop

Still made it freeze so I took that out and added the doevents into the for loop and it works fine. Thanks both of you guys..

well that will make it loop through everything in the loop, if there was more than one thing, and prevent it from locking up. I learned that early on when programming my game..
