I always enjoy a really good countdown. The anticipation of what will happen once we get to "0" is always riveting and exciting. I love a great climax that happens after a dramatic countdown. Whether it is a rocket ship taking off, an explosion, a race starting, countdowns are always fun for boys and girls alike, and maybe some animals too but I wouldn't know anything about that.

I thought I would create a thread where we can initiate our own countdowns... So, 3.... 2..... 1....... GO!!!

I also hate it when countdowns are aborted, so if you are going to countdown, please commit to it and don't abandon in. Abandoned countdowns piss me off!

That's some fancy counting, but why did you stop? I want to know what happens when we get to 0.

Just when I thought Bessie was getting sensible enough to stay off the ignore list...

10, 7, 9, 5, 12.3, 2, 1.... stop!

This is fun

Look after my manor, or I will bum you, literally, to death.

Doofy: if countdowns aren't sensible lounging, I don't know what is. I'm fine being on your ignore list though, because you usually suck.

Maybe because you don't deliver once you reach 0?

Code:
public class CountDown { public static void main(String[] args) { int x = 265598; //integer part int y = 2354362; //decimal part String yStr; int yLen; while(x != 0 && y != 0) { System.out.print(x); System.out.print('.'); yStr = y + ""; yLen = yStr.length(); while(yLen < 7) { System.out.print(0); yLen++; } System.out.println(yStr); y--; if(y < 0) { y = 9999999; x--; } } } }

Ghoser: your program needs a delay between each loop iteration so that the countdown is more human-like...

Just add:

Code:
try { Thread.sleep(1000); } catch(Exception e){}
That will make it pause for 1000 milliseconds (1 second). I was this close to making a Cocoa GUI program or a Java Applet. This close.

I don't have a delay. Am I not human-like? My loop iterations are seamless.

So what happens if I work on 100 numbers and at the same time someone else does and then we repeats?

Jeez, I need to go to bed.
