Any idea why my loop
for(int i = Int32.MinValue; i <= Int32.MaxValue; ++i)
isn't terminating? Should not this be the way to iterate over all ints?

8Look at the result of `int.MaxValue + 1` and see if that' doesn't answer your question. – D Stanley Jun 13 '16 at 17:49

What are you doing in the for loop? There are 2,147,483,648 numbers in the range of a 32 bit number, could it be that doing whatever you are doing that many times is taking a very long time? – Kevin Jun 13 '16 at 17:49

1[-2,147,483,648 - 2,147,483,648] is more than that many numbers @Kevin lol – austin wernli Jun 13 '16 at 17:51

You're right, I was thinking of 0 - Int32.MaxValue, but he is going from Int32.MinValue to Int32 MaxValue. – Kevin Jun 13 '16 at 17:52

As long as `i` is a 32 bit integer, it will always be `<= Int32.MaxValue` no matter what its bits are set to. try `long long i` – infixed Jun 13 '16 at 17:53

I have made the same mistake – paparazzo Jun 13 '16 at 17:55

Use `long i` or `int i = int.MaxValue; do { Console.WriteLine(++i); } while(i < int.MaxValue);`. – juharr Jun 13 '16 at 17:59

I updated my answer marked as a duplicate with another option (`do...while` loop) – D Stanley Jun 13 '16 at 18:00
