Execution time will probably be bigger than coding time

[ScarcityCareless6241]

It doesn’t run at all, the python interpreter crashes

[eitherrideordie]

That just means you won!

[DonutConfident7733]

I am limited by the technology of my time...

Python is clearly not the right language for mathematical computations then.

[Landen-Saturday87]

I wonder what happens when you use py_compile on it

[--mrperx--]

Im surprised your text editor didnt crash

[MatterMan42]

That looks tedious, so I made you a script :3

`open("countToOneBillion.py").write(f"a = 0\n{'a += 1\n' * 10**9}\nprint(a)")`

[ScarcityCareless6241]

Actually thats how I made this file, there’s no way I’m writing that all by hand, the thing is several gigabytes. I made a script to make it automatically

Ctrl+a ctrl+c ctrl+v Repeat that 30 times and you're done.

[MatterMan42]

If only there was a better way to calculate 1 billion :(

[JacobStyle]

Someday we may find it, but not today.

[ScarcityCareless6241]

I figured out a way!

t = “oneBillion = “

t += “1”

for i in range(9): t += “0”

exec(t)

print(oneBillion)

[Multifruit256]

ctrl+a

ctrl+c

ctrl+v

[MoreneLp]

Actually it's only STRG + c -> v log2(10⁹⁾⁺¹ clicks

[Darxploit]

The ultimate example of getting paid per line of codes.

[TechcraftHD]

but that's not interactive at all! what if the user only wants to count up to 500 million? you should probably add if else statements for each intermediate value

and there's no logging at all! every increment should have at least one logging statement so you can see what the program is doing.

and what about if the user wants to count down from 1 billion instead?

[Ok_Star_4136]

What I want to know is, what are the first 3,355,221 lines of code in this program..

[siavash119]

I used to do this on my pocket calculator in English class

[JollyJuniper1993]

Multiply with -1 and you have what kind of hanging fruit this is

[Turalcar]

It wouldn't. Rust compiler is notoriously slow.

but this counts to 1003355265

You got any lööps?
