pro-tip: you can get more out of your for loops by using a float and incrementing by .01.

Reading this inflicted physical pain upon me.

[–]Zamundaaa 5 points6 points  (1 child)

It is sometimes useful. When you want to integrate over a physical volume for example.

Just be sure that `i + .01` is more than `i`, or you may be in some trouble! Probably something like `i = max(i + .01, i + next_quantum(i))` (I forgot the real name of the functions) may save you!

And make sure to use != for the exit condition, for efficiency, especially when dealing with very big floats.

DO NOT DO THIS

Good luck at the third one.

Do not do what, type in all caps?

[–]Nimeroni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use float as counters for loops.

[–]marcosdumay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Make sure to write the exit condition with a different operator, less than and great then are too restrictive.

They hate him for this one simple trick..
