[2008] Infinite loop

[irn3rd0987]

Hey all, long time no type

I was in college and our teacher mentioned about the Beep() for the system beeping, and i was like shall i do a do while loop :P


So i made a button on a form and wrote this

Dim count as byte = 1

Do While count = 1
Beep()
Me.visible = False
Loop



Now that was mistake in its self but hey i was bored at college.

Now i know i crash the program etc but what would happen if i just leave the loop to run?

it'd just keep beeping + looping until you shut it down probably

yh but what damage will it do:P if any haha

It wont do any damage. There loop isnt recursive so there'll be no stack overflow, and there will not be any memory leaks unless the Beep function was improperly implemented, if thats what you're thinking of.

Yeah, the only damage it will do will be to your person when everybody else beats the tar out of you for running that thing.

the damage, if any could be to your hearing.... sanity.... and could lead to a life terminating event should it annoy others to the point where there is damage to their hearing or sanity....

How would you make the beep function improperly implemented tho

Since you cant do anything about it, you'll just have to trust the developers at Microsoft

dr who theme tune - pc speaker beeps

[irn3rd0987]

cant get the code and lol damn taht Microsoft must be a way:P

[Shaggy Hiker]

Can't get what code? What Atheist meant was that the beep function will have no memory leaks or other issues as long as MS implemented it correctly.
