what is worng with this program, it wont start at 0?

[berserk foreal]

this program is suppose to start at 0 and go through to the desired number, in this case 500. however it starts at 205 and then goes to 500. what gives???

source code.
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
for (int num = 0; num < 501; num++)
{
cout << num << " plugged in is " << (num*num)-(79*num)+1601 << endl;
}
return 0;
}

it will start at 205, i dont get it whats wrong with it?

for (int num = 0; num < 501; num++)
{
cout << num << " plugged in is " << (num*num)-(79*num)+1601 << endl;
cin.get();
}

now check it again.

Not sure because on my end it starts at 0 and goes to 500 no problem.

i extended the buffer size of my command prompt window to 900 and still nothing? what is wrong?

It could be that your console buffer is not large enough to be able to show you all the 500 new lines. If my guess is true then the program actually runs as it should (other users confirmed that it works fine for them). In order to see all of your program's output you need to ether reconfigure your console emulator (which is platform dependant i guess so it might be useful that you tell us what OS you are using) or redirect your program's output to a file on your hdd which you will be able to read after your program has finished executing(because files don't have a word limit as your console buffer has, do they?)
