... I guess I will

wow, I just realized its a lot harder to do it with the commas in there. Im gonna do it without and see what you say. If it doesnt count, Ill edit it.


Edit: We haven't leanred formatted print statements yet (I'm a freshman)

i got it, and if I let it run, it would take FOREVER

here's the code:




#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

int main(void)
{
int I;
I = 2000000000;
printf("%d bottles of beer on the wall\n", I);
printf("%d bottles of beer\n", I);
printf("Take one down pass it around\n";
for (I = 1999999999; I > 0; I -= 1)
{
printf("%d bottles of beer on the wall\n", I);
printf("%d bottles of beer on the wall\n", I);
printf("%d bottles of beer\n", I);
printf("Take one down pass it around\n";
}
printf ("No bottles of beer on the wall\n";
return 0;
}

you have too much time on your hands, eric.

It only took me like 30 minutes....

It prints about 2,000 verses per second. At this rate, it will print the entire song in about 11.57 days!

Wow, Eric, you either have a really slow computer, or C is really slow

It only took about 6 hours for my school computer to run the program when I wrote it in Java

I'm giving this one to Eric tho... Excel isn't really a programming language, lion

Next challenge will be up in ~10 hours

Well, it was on Purdue's computer that I ran it, and they are really slow. I have a feeling that if I ran it on my laptop, it would be faster.

It's the closest to programming I know...

well, its been 10 hours....

not sure why you include math.h?? you're not using any math functions there...

and it seems like this would be a little more efficient:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
int I;
I = 2000000000;
while (I > 0) {
printf("%d bottles of beer on the wall\n", I);
printf("%d bottles of beer\n", I);
printf("Take one down pass it around\n";
I -= 1;
printf("%d bottles of beer on the wall\n", I);
}
printf ("No bottles of beer on the wall\n";
return 0;
}

Yea, it's just a habbit to include math.h.

You know, in yours, when I = 1, you will do:

printf("%d bottles of beer on the wall\n", I);
printf("%d bottles of beer\n", I);
printf("Take one down pass it around\n";
I -= 1;
printf("%d bottles of beer on the wall\n", I);
}
printf ("No bottles of beer on the wall\n";

which will print:

1 bottles of beer on the wall
1 bottles of beer
Take one down pass it around
0 bottles of beer on the wall
No bottles of beer on the wall


This declares that there exists no bottles of beer on the wall twice and it does not match up to the last verse of the song. An if statement to break the loop would be helpful there. Also, yours made me realize that when there is 1 bottles of beer left, the word bottles should be singular, not plural. We both messed that up.

Anyway, its no big deal.

Sorry, I've missed the last 2 days

I'm 2 hours late on this one, I'm dead tired, and I can't think up another one... I'll try to have one up sometime tomarrow afternoon, but I dunno...

I was out biking 'till 11:30pm tonight, gimme a break

eogle, that's what testing is for

So are we not doing this thing anymore or what?

When is this thing gonna happen again?

The only other challenges I can think of would be random simple programming challenges

And I don't know C yet (doubt I ever will...not a big fan of programming)...all I know is Java

How 'bout this for a challenge: fix my laptop (j/k)

I'll just turn it over to you guys... if you can come up with a challenge, post it up

That's cool, if I think of any I will post them.
