This was actually acomplished by 'not' intialising the inout file stream with any real file. So, computer may have pointed to some random location, and hence it went on printing for so long! In 6 seconds, it printed a 91.4MB text file In 1 minute (60 seconds), it printed a 848MB text file! [though notepad hang when trying to open these files]

Programmer/Tester- Aditya Gupta (aka Techy3.5 :-) I used g++ to compile these on linux 1. Type casting of floating point numeral to integer (either automatic or by type casting)- Conversion of floating point to integer is by taking the GIF (Greatest Integer Funtion) and NOT ROUNDING OFF Greatest Integer Function(Maths,12th) it gives the integer part when the original number is written as integer+fractional part (where fractional part is less than 1 but positive) 2. NEsted MultiLine Comment [actually wont work as expected?!] if you do this in C++.... /*  blah /*blah blah blah*/ blah*/ the last blah will be visible to the compiler!!! (Inference- Multiline-Comment ends whenever */ is encountered, no matter where!!)NEsted MultiLine Comment 3. Size of various types (of C++) on 'Linux' Mint - (and same as in later versions of windows, and most PCs nowadays) char - 1 int - 4  (and: short - 2, unsigned long - 8) long long - 8 float - 4 double - 8 (and: lo
