Multiples of the number 2

[Dixiie]

Codes to write a program that keeps printing the multiples of the number 2. The loop should not terminate.

[jsmith]

FOR i = 2 TO 65534 STEP 2
PRINT i
NEXT

[Duthomhas]

But... that loop eventually terminates...

[jsmith]

i = 2
FOR j = 1 TO 5 STEP 1
    PRINT i
    i = i + 2
    j = j - 1
NEXT j

[Moschops]

cout << "2 " << "4 " << "6 " << "8 " << ... etc etc. will never terminate, but typing it in might take a while.

[crossfire1703]

int x=2, y=1;
do
{
cout<<x<<endl;
x+=2;
}
while(y==1);

@ jsmith: did you write that in BASIC?

[z05DSL3A]

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    while(true) 
        std::cout << "the multiples of the number 2. ";
    return 0;
}

[jsmith]

Yeah, been a long time :)

I never wrote an obfuscated BASIC program, but I just thought of this:

i = 2
FOR j = 1 TO 2 STEP 1
    PRINT i
    i = i + 2
    j = j AND NOT 1
NEXT j

Wait... or is it that I never wrote a non-obfuscated program in BASIC?

[Duthomhas]

Non-terminating arithmetic sequence f(n) = f(n-1)+2 in Tcl

for {set n 0} true {} {puts [incr n 2]}

:-]

[crossfire1703]

@jsmith: that program is easy to read, so its non-obfuscated

Thanks everyone for your contribution
