Largest number?

whats the largest number you can express without involving infinities?

Well, this idiot seems to be confused. I'm willing to bet he never made it beyound freshman level calculus at his hick university!

Are you this fucking dumb. Okay, let's say I have the following loop....

int k = 0;
for (j = 1; j <= 20; j++) {
  k = k + i;
}

The loop, in math terms, can be express as
f(n) = 20 * c

Or f of x is equal to some constant.

Now what happens when I change 20 to n?

int k = 0;
for (j = 1; j <= n; j++) {
  k = k + i;
}


Where in is some unknown number that goes from 1 to whatever. Then I can express this as..

f(n) = n * c

So this means the function is now f of x equals to x. What is the upper bounds in this case you fucking faggot?

There is no largest natural number though.

The second you arbitrarily make up a largest natural, such as 10^10^10^10^10, you immediately leave there to be another possible largest natural, such as 10^10^10^10^10^10, and it can go on.

And just for the record you fucking autistic nigger, this is similar question that was given to me on the CS comprehensive exams.

Now fuck off. You are dumb, boring, and quite frankly, I'd be suprised if you actually worked as a computer programmer for a major firm.
