With LabVIEW, I can do the impossible

We may all be LabVIEW geeks, but we don't have to prove it by actually calculating how long the loop would run, do we?

Oh, hold on, someone already did...   🙂

Tha's odd, because it seems impossible without knowing what's in the other cases of the case structure. 😄

Except Ben is not very good at math, so he got it wrong. Smiley Very Happy
 
Assuming the inf is coerced to the max value of U32 (~4.2 billion), it should actually take about 49 days.

I think it is coerced to I32. If you wire out from inside the selector node, the wire is I32.
 
Still, I think it takes an infinite amout of time to run the first iteration, because secret sources provided me with the content of the other (=non-default) case. 😮

Wow, the VI must be hyperpolymorphic since that's not what it looks like on my computer. 🙂

it was just a wild guess... 🙂

Care to try it with LV64 on a 64-bit OS?

Ah, but I'm looking at the Wait primitive, which accepts a U32 and is presumably the thing which will delay the VI the most.
