Hey!
Just for fun, I've been experimenting with different ways to make sounds on computers. But I was wondering...with the Beep() function in C with the windows.h library, is it harmful to your computer in any way? I read somewhere that it destroys the hardware...
Thanks!

I dont know about a "beep()" function, but I know you can use "\a" in any printf() to achieve a beep. Its especially funny when a cat is sitting next to your laptop
MSDN doesn't list any problems with Beep

Well, I imagine this can't be good for your laptop's battery:
But I don't see how it could "destroy your hardware". (Maybe your eardrums, but probably not your hardware.)Code:#include <stdio.h> int main(void) { for(;;) putchar('\a'); }

IIRC, you used to be able to crash Windows XP with a series of backspaces and something or other else. It was pretty snazzy.

That would make for a funny headline, "XP Attacked by the Backspce Virus!!"Originally Posted by quzah
