that says it all....

Sometimes, a FOR loop needs to run an infinite number of times without any possibility of stopping. (we can always force kill the application later!)

Thus we need an infinite integer and here's how to do it... NOT! Sigh!

(Seen here)

 Note that the loop recursively calls the itself, so soon we have an infinite number of infinite for loops. 😄

Typecasting can be such a chore sometimes! 😄

I've been branded as a Rube.   Thanx Altenbach.   Well, at least I've been recognized for something.

On more than one occasion I have posted a Type Cast operation which prompted warnings by other users about the dangers.  Apparently these operations lead to crashes,  hard drive failures, cats and dogs living together, anarchy, and eventually the fall of civilization as we know it.  tbob was simply doing a public service by keeping this weapon out of the hands of the untrained. 

Now we know who to blame for letting the cat out of the bag...

The importance of learning good Labview coding practice from the start. Here is a good example (or not )

That seems better suited for the local variables thread, not this Rube Goldberg thread. Where's the Rube Goldberg in that example?

At first glance, the wire from the first 'local variable' into 'array size' into 'N'...!  Long time since last used Labview so can't remember names of everything - just was lurking and felt compelled to reply!
