help with large loop

[EricS-Team180]

If the compiler accepts LargeNumber as a variable but not as a loop counter, then you could consider using an infinite loop with LargeNumber as a variable that you increment on each pass. Exit the loop when LargeNumber is greater than or equal to the # of passes that you want.

A for loop is a higher level construct of a more primitive algorithm.

You can just implement the base algorithm instead.

The base algorithm has an initializer, a test & branch, the inner block, the incrementer and branch.

One assignment, one test, one arithmetic operator.

Enjoy

With a for loop that large, it sounds like you're trying to create some sort of time delay. Assuming you're writing code for the robot controller, remember that your code is already running in a loop. To create a time delay write code like this:

int counter
.
.
.
while(true)//main loop
{
counter++;
if counter<largeNumber
{
do nothing
}
else
{
do stuff
}
}
If this is for a side project, disregard this comment entirely.
