While Loops

[Coxxej]

#include "stdafx.h"
#include < iostream >

using namespace std;

int main()
{
int n = 6000000;

while (n > 0) {
cout << n << ", ";
--------------------n;
}

cout << "Takeoff!\n";
cin.get();
}

Is there a way I can get it to decrease by 100's without putting 200 '-' marks

Two options:

n = (n - 100);
n -= 100;

using that many unary subtraction operators is never a good idea.

[Coxxej]

Why is it not good idea?

[i like red pandas]

--------------------n;

Wow, I'm amazed that's actually valid syntax. For future reference, don't do this. Instead, use normal assignment:

n = n - 100; //or
n -= 100;

[Coxxej]

what?

[yulingo]

It's not a good idea just because you'll have to count all those symbols to figure out how many times you are actually deprecating...

Ohhhh ya haha
i also have another question.
is there a way I could put this one code onto a flash drive and be able to plug into someone else's computer and immediately run the code?
