;Task: Create a program that, when run, would display all integers from '''1''' to ''' ''' (or any relevant implementation limit), in sequence (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, etc) if given enough time.

An example may not be able to reach arbitrarily-large numbers based on implementations limits. For example, if integers are represented as a 32-bit unsigned value with 0 as the smallest representable value, the largest representable value would be 4,294,967,295. Some languages support arbitrarily-large numbers as a built-in feature, while others make use of a module or library.

If appropriate, provide an example which reflect the language implementation's common built-in limits as well as an example which supports arbitrarily large numbers, and describe the nature of such limitations—or lack thereof.

A more complex, arbitrary precision version that can count as high as you have free bytes of memory to use. (This does assemble with CP/M's MAC assembler, but since it doesn't implement PRBUFR, it's only useful for exposition purposes, or for loading into DDT.)

MVI     C,BYTES   ; C holds the number of bytes we'll use
XRA     A         ; XOR with A is a 1-byte instruction to set A to zero

LXI     H,BUFR    ; HL Points to BUFR
MVI     C,BYTES   ; Count down (assume fewer than 256 bytes in our integer)
NEXT:   INR     M         ; Increment the byte pointed to by HL. Sets the zero flag
JNZ     LOOP      ; If the increment didn't overflow A, start the loop over
; This byte overflowed, so we need to advance to the next byte in our number
INX     H         ; We store our byes in order of increasing significance
DCR     C         ; Count down to make sure we don't overflow our buffer

; If we get here, we have overflowed our integer!
HALT              ; TODO: probably something other than "halt the CPU"

PRBUFR: ; TODO, a subroutine that shows all of the digits in BUFR on the console
; Assume that this code trashes all our registers...
RET

BUFR:   ; This space will hold our number
; We zero this memory before the loop

## beeswax

Using an ordinary loop structure:

qNP<
_1>{d

Using a jump instruction:

_1F6~@{PN@J

Numbers in beeswax are unsigned 64-bit integers, so after reaching 2^64-1 the counter wraps around to 0.

## Befunge

The range of a numeric value in Befunge is implementation dependent, but is commonly 32 bit signed integers for the stack, so a maximum value of 2147483647. However, note that some implementations have a smaller range for ''displayed'' values, so the sequence may appear to wrap to negative numbers while the internal value is in fact still increasing.

Also note that the range of values written to the code page or 'playfield' is often much smaller - frequently only supporting 8 bits, sometimes signed, sometimes unsigned.

## Bracmat

{{trans|Ruby}} Bracmat uses big numbers. Numbers are stored with a radix 10, each decimal digit occupying one byte. When multiplying or dividing, numbers are temporarily converted to radix 10000 (32-bit systems: 1 digit occupies two bytes) or radix 100000000 (64-bit systems: 1 digit occupies four bytes) to speed up the computation. 0:?n&whl'out\$(1+!n:?n)

This program assumes that decrementing past zero wraps around, but it doesn't rely on cell size, other than that a cell can hold at least six bits. It also assumes the ASCII character set. This is an arbitrarily large number implementation.
<lang Brainfuck>++++++++++>>>+[[->>+<[+>->+<<---------------------------------------
-------------------[>>-<++++++++++<[+>-<]]>[-<+>]<++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++>]<[<]>>[-<+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++>]>]>[>>>]<<<[.<<<]<.>>>+]

This modification of the previous program will print out 1 to the maximum cell value, still assuming wrapping. On many implementations, this will print out 1-255. ++++++++++>>-[>+[->>+<[+>->+<<-------------------------------------- --------------------[>>-<++++++++++<[+>-<]]>[-<+>]<+++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++>]<[<]>>[-<++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++>]>]>[>>>]<<<[.<<<]<.>>-]

This one never stops. It's not even likely that you'll run out of memory before you run out of patience.

# start off with the ones columns in position zero.
# Using arrays of decimal-based digits to model integers
# doesn't make much sense for most tasks, but if you
# want to keep counting forever, this does the trick.

This continues to print numbers until double precision IEEE 754 cannot represent adjacent integers any more (9007199254740992, to be exact).

In the future, the implementation may switch to arbitrary precision, so it will keep running until memory fills up.

High(i) returns the maximum supported value, typically, it is the highest signed 64 bit integer.

## Frink

All of Frink's numbers can be arbitrarily-sized:

i = i + 1
}

## FunL

The following has no limit since FunL has arbitrary size integers.

for i <- 1.. do println( i )

## Futhark

Infinite loops cannot produce results in Futhark, so this program accepts an input indicating how many integers to generate. It encodes the size of the returned array in its type.

fun main(n: int): [n]int = iota n

## GAP

InfiniteLoop := function()
local n;
n := 1;
while true do
Display(n);
n := n + 1;
od;
end;

# Prepare some coffee
InfiniteLoop();

## Go

Size of int type is implementation dependent. After the maximum positive value, it rolls over to maximum negative, without error. Type uint will roll over to zero.

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
for i := 1;; i++ {
fmt.Println(i)
}
}

The big.Int type does not roll over and is limited only by available memory, or practically, by whatever external factor halts CPU execution: human operator, lightning storm, CPU fan failure, heat death of universe, etc.

package main

import (
"big"
"fmt"
)

func main() {
one := big.NewInt(1)
for i := big.NewInt(1);; i.Add(i, one) {
fmt.Println(i)

## GUISS

Graphical User Interface Support Script makes use of installed programs. There are no variables, no loop structures and no jumps within the language so iteration is achieved by repetative instructions.

## HolyC

Prints from 1 to max unsigned 64 bit integer (2**64 -1), then stops.

```holyc
U64 i = 0;
while (++i) Print("%d\n", i);

## J

The following will count indefinitely but once the 32-bit (or 64-bit depending on J engine version) limit is reached, the results will be reported as floating point values (which would immediately halt on 64 bit J and halt with the 53 bit precision limit is exceeded on 32 bit J). Since that could take many, many centuries, even on a 32 bit machine, more likely problems include the user dying of old age and failing to pay the electric bill resulting in the machine being powered off.

count=: (smoutput ] >:)^:_

The above works with both fixed sized integers and floating point numbers (fixed sized integers are automatically promoted to floating point, if they overflow), but also works with extended precision integers (which will not overflow, unless they get so large that they cannot be represented in memory, but that should exceed lifetime of the universe, let alone lifetime of the computer).

This adds support for extended precision (in that it converts non-extended precision arguments to extended precision arguments) and will display integers to ∞ (or at least until the machine is turned off or interrupted or crashes).

count=: (smoutput ] >:)@x:^:_

## Java

## Joy

Counting stops at maxint, which is 2147483647

## jq

Currently, julia does not support infinite-precision arithmetic, but very large integers are converted to floating-point numbers, so the following will continue to generate integers (beginning with 0) indefinitely in recent versions of jq that have tail recursion optimization:

def iota: ., (. + 1 | iota);
0 | iota

In versions of jq which have while, one could also write:

0 | while(true;. + 1)

This idiom is likely to be more useful as while supports break.

Another technique would be to use recurse:

0 | recurse(. + 1)

For generating integers, the generator, range(m;n), is more likely to be useful in practice; if m and n are integers, it generates integers from m to n-1, inclusive.

## Julia

i = zero(BigInt)    # or i = big(0)
while true
println(i += 1)
end

The built-in BigInt type is an arbitrary precision integer (based on the GMP library), so the value of i is limited only by available memory. To use (much faster) hardware fixed-width integer types, use e.g. zero(Int32) or zero(Int64). (Initializing i = 0 will use fixed-width integers that are the same size as the hardware address width, e.g. 64-bit on a 64-bit machine.)

// print forever
var n = BigInteger.ZERO
while (true) {
println(n)
n += BigInteger.ONE

^}

This will run until you exhaust the system resources it's run under.

## Liberty BASIC

Liberty BASIC handles extremely large integers. The following code was halted by user at 10,000,000 in test run.

while 1
i=i+1

wend

## Limbo

The int (32 bits) and big (64 bits) types are both signed, so they wrap around. This version uses the infinite precision integer library:

implement CountToInfinity;

include "sys.m"; sys: Sys;
include "draw.m";
include "ipints.m"; ipints: IPints;
IPint: import ipints;

CountToInfinity: module {
init: fn(nil: ref Draw->Context, nil: list of string);
};

init(nil: ref Draw->Context, nil: list of string)
{

i := IPint.inttoip(0);
one := IPint.inttoip(1);
for(;;) {
sys->print("%s\n", i.iptostr(10));
}
}

## Lingo

i = 1
repeat while i>0
put i
i = i+1
end repeat

Lingo uses signed 32 bit integers, so max. supported integer value is 2147483647:

put the maxInteger
-- 2147483647

Beyond this limit values behave like negative numbers:

put the maxInteger+1
-- -2147483648
put the maxInteger+2
-- -2147483647

Up to the (quite high) number where floats (double-precission) start rounding, floats can be used to exceed the integer limit:

the floatPrecision = 0 -- forces floats to be printed without fractional digits

put float(the maxInteger)+1
-- 2147483648

-- max. whole value that can be stored as 8-byte-float precisely
maxFloat = power(2,53) -- 9007199254740992.0

i = 1.0
repeat while i<=maxFloat
put i
i = i+1
end repeat
-- 1
-- 2
-- 3
-- ...

## Maple

Maple has arbitrary-precision integers so there are no built-in limits on the size of the integers represented.

for n do
print(n)
end do;

=={{header|Mathematica}} / {{header|Wolfram Language}}== Built in arbitrary precision support meanst the following will not overflow.

x = 1;
Monitor[While[True, x++], x]

a = 1; while (1) printf('%i\n',a); a=a+1; end;

Typically, numbers are stored as double precision floating point numbers, giving accurate integer values up to about 2^53=bitmax('double')=9.0072e+15. Above this limit, round off errors occur. This limitation can be overcome by defining the numeric value as type int64 or uint64

a = uint64(1); while (1) printf('%i\n',a); a=a+1; end;

This will run up to 2^64 and then stop increasing, there will be no overflow.

>> a=uint64(10e16+1)    % 10e16 is first converted into a double precision number causing some round-off error.
a = 100000000000000000
>> a=uint64(10e16)+1
a = 100000000000000001

The above limitations can be overcome with additional toolboxes for symbolic computation or multiprecision computing.

Matlab and Octave recommend vectorizing the code, one might pre-allocate the sequence up to a specific N.

N = 2^30; printf('%d\n', 1:N);

The main limitation is the available memory on your machine. The standard version of Octave has a limit that a single data structure can hold at most 2^31 elements. In order to overcome this limit, Octave must be compiled with "./configure --enable-64", but this is currently not well supported.

## Oforth

Oforth handles arbitrary integer precision.

The loop will stop when out of memory

: integers  1 while( true ) [ dup . 1+ ] ;

## Ol

Ol does not limit the size of numbers. So maximal number depends only on available system memory.

(let loop ((n 1))
(print n)
(loop (+ 1 n)))

Sample sequence with break for large numbers:

(let loop ((n 2))
(print n)
(unless (> n 100000000000000000000000000000000)
(loop (* n n))))

## OpenEdge/Progress

OpenEdge has three data types that can be used for this task:

1. INTEGER (32-bit signed integer)
DEF VAR ii AS INTEGER FORMAT "->>>>>>>>9" NO-UNDO.

DO WHILE TRUE:
ii = ii + 1.
DISPLAY ii.
END.

When an integer rolls over its maximum of 2147483647 error 15747 is raised (Value # too large to fit in INTEGER.).

2. INT64 (64-bit signed integer)
DEF VAR ii AS INT64 FORMAT "->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>9" NO-UNDO.

DO WHILE TRUE:
ii = ii + 1.
DISPLAY ii.
END.

When a 64-bit integer overflows no error is raised and the signed integer becomes negative.

3. DECIMAL (50 digits)
DEF VAR de AS DECIMAL FORMAT "->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>9" NO-UNDO.

DO WHILE TRUE:
de = de + 1.
DISPLAY de.
END.

When a decimal requires mores than 50 digits error 536 is raised (Decimal number is too large.).

## Order

Order supports arbitrarily-large positive integers natively. However, the simple version:

#include <order/interpreter.h>

#define ORDER_PP_DEF_8printloop ORDER_PP_FN( \
8fn(8N,                                      \
8do(8print(8to_lit(8N) 8comma 8space),   \
8printloop(8inc(8N)))) )

ORDER_PP( 8printloop(1) )

... while technically fulfilling the task, will probably never display anything, as most C Preprocessor implementations won't print their output until the file is done processing. Since the C Preprocessor is not technically Turing-complete, the Order interpreter has a maximum number of steps it can execute - but this number is very, very large (from the documentation: "the Order interpreter could easily be extended with a couple of hundred macros to prolong the wait well beyond the estimated lifetime of the sun"), so the compiler is rather more likely to simply run out of memory.

To actually see anything with GCC, add a maximum limit so that the task can complete:

#include <order/interpreter.h>

#define ORDER_PP_DEF_8printloop ORDER_PP_FN( \
8fn(8N,                                      \
8do(8print(8to_lit(8N) 8comma 8space),   \
8when(8less(8N, 99), 8printloop(8inc(8N))))) )

ORDER_PP( 8printloop(1) )   // 1, ..., 99,

## Perl

my \$i = 0;
print ++\$i, "\n" while 1;

On 64-bit Perls this will get to 2^64-1 then print 1.84467440737096e+19 forever. On 32-bit Perls using standard doubles this will get to 999999999999999 then start incrementing and printing floats until they lose precision. This behavior can be changed by adding something like:

use bigint;
my \$i = 0;  print ++\$i, "\n" while 1;

which makes almost all integers large (ranges are excluded). Faster alternatives exist with non-core modules, e.g.

• use bigint lib=>"GMP";
• use Math::Pari qw/:int/;
• use Math::GMP qw/:constant/;

## Phix

This will crash at 1,073,741,824 on 32 bit, 4,611,686,018,427,387,904 on 64-bit:

integer i = 0
while 1 do
?i
i += 1
end while

This will stall at 9,007,199,254,740,992 on 32-bit, and about twice the above on 64-bit. (after ~15 or 19 digits of precision, adding 1 will simply cease to have any effect)

atom a = 0
while 1 do
?a
a += 1
end while

{{libheader|mpfr}} This will probably carry on until the number has over 300 million digits (32-bit, you can square that on 64-bit) which would probably take zillions of times longer than the universe has already existed, if your hardware/OS/power grid kept going that long.

## Racket

Racket uses bignums, so counting should continue up to very large numbers. Naturally, printing these numbers will consume quite a bit of power.

#lang racket

## Raven

Raven uses signed 32 bit integer values.

## Ruby

1.step{|n| puts n}

The step method of Numeric takes two optional arguments. The limit defaults to infinity, the step size to 1.

Ruby does not limit the size of integers.

## Run BASIC

while 1
i = i + 1
print i
wend

Eventually as it gets larger it becomes a floating point.

## Rust

{{works with|Rust 1.2}}

fn main() {
for i in 0.. {
println!("{}", i);
}
}

Looping endlessly:

extern crate num;

use num::bigint::BigUint;
use num::traits::{One,Zero};

fn main() {
let mut i: BigUint = BigUint::one();
loop {
println!("{}", i);
i = i + BigUint::one();
}
}

## Salmon

Salmon has built-in unlimited-precision integer arithmetic, so these examples will all continue printing decimal values indefinitely, limited only by the amount of memory available (it requires O(log(n)) bits to store an integer n, so if your computer has 1 GB of memory, it will count to a number with on the order of $2^\left\{80\right\}$ digits).

iterate (i; [0...+oo])
i!;

or

for (i; 0; true)
i!;

or

variable i := 0;
while (true)
{
i!;
++i;
};

## Scala

## Scheme

```scheme

(let loop ((i 1))
(display i) (newline)
(loop (+ 1 i)))

Scheme does not limit the size of numbers.

## Seed7

Limit 2147483647:

\$ include "seed7_05.s7i";

const proc: main is func
local
var integer: number is 0;
begin
repeat
incr(number);
writeln(number);
until number = 2147483647;
end func;

"Forever":

\$ include "seed7_05.s7i";
include "bigint.s7i";

const proc: main is func
local
var bigInteger: number is 1_;
begin
repeat
writeln(number);

until FALSE;
end func;

## Sidef

No limit:

{|i| say i } * Math.inf;

## Smalltalk

i := 0.
[
Stdout print:i; cr.
i := i + 1
] loop

will run forever.

## SSEM

Since we have no Add instruction, we subtract -1 on each iteration instead of adding 1. The same -1 also serves as a jump target, taking advantage of a quirk of the SSEM architecture (the Current Instruction counter is incremented after the instruction has been executed, not before—so GOTO address has to be coded as GOTO address - 1).

01000000000000010000000000000000   0. Sub. 2     acc -= -1

11111111111111111111111111111111   2. -1

## SuperCollider

The SuperCollider language has a 32-bit signed int, and a 64 bit signed float. Instead of locking the interpreter with an infinite loop, we post the values over time.

i = Routine { inf.do { |i| i.yield } }; // return all integers, represented by a 64 bit signed float.
j = { inf.do { i.next.postln; 0.01.wait } }; // this prints them incrementally
j.play;

var i = 0
while true {
println(i++)
}

## Standard ML

This will print up to Int.maxInt and then raise an Overflow exception. On a 32 bit machine the max is 1073741823. Alternatively you could use Int64.int (64 bit) or IntInf.int (arbitrary precision).

let
fun printInts(n) =
(
print(Int.toString(n) ^ "\n");
printInts(n+1)
)
in
printInts(1)
end;

## Visual Basic .NET

Visual Basic .NET supports an unsigned, 64 bit Integer (maxing out at a whopping 9 223 372 036 854 775 807), however, this is not an intrinsic type, it is a structure that is not supported by the CLS (Common Language Specification).

The CLS supported type (also a structure) is Decimal (an even more impressive range from positive 79 228 162 514 264 337 593 543 950 335 to negative 79 228 162 514 264 337 593 543 950 335), I have used a standard CLS Integer intrinsic type (from -2 147 483 648 through 2 147 483 647).

Note that attempting to store any value larger than the maximum value of any given type (say 2 147 483 648 for an Integer) will result in an OverflowException being thrown ("Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow.")

### Arbitrarily large numbers

One could use the '''System.Numerics''' library as the C# example did, or one can do the following.
A list of Long Integers is maintained as the incremented number. As the incremented value approaches the maximum allowed (''base'') in the first element of ''ar'', a new item is inserted at the beginning of the list to extend the incremented number. The process has the limitation of when the ''ar'' array is enlarged to the point where the program exhausts the available memory, it ought to indicate failure and terminate. It is my understanding that a '''List''' count is backed by an '''Integer.MaxValue''' limitation and there may also be a 2 GB per object limitation involved. Since writing to the Console is such a slow process, I lack the patience to wait for the program (as written) to fail. If the program is tweaked to fail early, the practical limit seems to be a number 2,415,919,086 digits in length.

WDTE's number type is, at the time of writing, backed by Go's float64 type, so all of the same limitations that apply there apply here. Also, this should '''not''' be run in the WDTE playground, as it will run with no output until the browser crashes or is killed.
