Whoops....

So i wrote a little ditty of a program in c++ (well, copied it from a paper). It makes a rectangle size specified by the user using the star * key. So 10 by 10 = display 100 stars in a rectangle shape. So I'm messing around. I try 200 by 200. Well, i got bored with it so i typed 10000 by 10000. Bad Choice. My computer's been using 90% of it's rescources for the last hour to print stars for all it's worth.
Hillarious to watch, though.

Wow...it's still going

Must be some kind of overflow or something.

um .. there is an hour between these posts man.. u probably have an infinate loop and you might just be sitting there till you get a power outage.

ctrl+c does not work?

Yep, 3 hours would be an infinite loop. I killed it crtl-alt-delete style and lost the last 40 lines of my program. Which sucks :butt:
