Doug, If you want to use a counter, it's best to use an integer instead of a float. Change to: int number . . . while (number >= 0) . (printf (%d\n", number); . This should work. As a matter of fact, I've got it running as I type this. (I have the SAS C compiler.) It DOES take a little time to get through the 1,000,000 iterations, though. The decimal comes from the "float" declaration. The imprecision comes from the round-off error in the computer's designation of floating point numbers. Others should be able to elaborate better than I. There is also a brief description of this _somewhere_ in your book; I remember reading it within the first five chapters. Hope this helps.
