hello,
if I do this
for(int i=0; i<Math.pow(10,2);i++)
;// do nothing loop
does it mean that Math.pow subroutine will be called 101 times ?
should it be like this then:
int end = (int)Math.pow(10,2);
for(int i=0; i><end;i++)
;//do nothing loop

Yes.

In most cases it probably doesn't matter. Go with what's easier to understand, or better fits what you're trying to do. Then, if you determine that it is causing a bottleneck, you can change it.

Yep, you're right and warnerja was wrong :-P

Um, no I'm right.
Math.pow(10, 2) == 100, right?
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
will loop 100 times, not 101.
When i is 0, that's the first time.
When i is 1, that's 2.
...
When i is 99, that's 100.
When i is 100, it's out of the loop, because 100 < 100 is false.
Edit: OOPS, now I get it.
It will execute the BODY of the loop 100 times, but it will evaluate pow(10, 2) 101 times.
Never mind, Jos is right.

Yes, both of them were, all three times the four of them posted those five comments. That's the only six things I have to say about these seven topics.

I don't know how those posts got here! It wasn't me, trust me ;-). Someone like Goldie must have hacked my login and posted those inaccuracies to hurt my reputation! I would never make such a mistake myself ;-)

't could be that you forgot to activate your seventeen firewalls and swith
ip addresses 1000 times per second ;-)

Don't be silly. I only have fifteen firewalls, and everyone knows you can't switch IP addresses quite that quickly.

You should use IPv6 for a fifty percent speed gain ;-)

w.r.t. Gosling that implies that you have to wear funny T-shirts, glasses
and be almost bald-headed except for a little beard?
