    What do you mean?

    Like can you use a system pause after doing a cout statement?
    Woop?

    In the 51 minutes between your two posts, you were not able to determine this yourself by experimentation?
    Code:
    //try
    //{
    	if (a) do { f( b); } while(1);
    	else   do { f(!b); } while(1);
    //}

    No, it's absolutely 100% impossible because it would defy the laws of physics and cause a temporal paradox that would destroy the universe if it ever were to happen...

    perhaps not the entire universe... just our small corner of it... certainly wouldn't extend beyond our local cluster of galaxies.

    one way to prevent this might be to reverse the polarity of the neutron flow with your trusty sonic screwdriver.

    Think about the effect on the multiverse though, a disturbance that large is bound to create a transdimensional temporal implosion

    I think he'll need this explained in easier words.
    Don't do it. The world will seize to exist.

    (time to lock this thread? :P)

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <cstdlib>
    
    int main()
    {
        std::cout << "Hello world\n";
        std::system("pause");
    }
    Is it guaranteed in this program that "Hello world" is printed (before the console closes)?
    I might be wrong.

    Thank you, anon. You sure know how to recognize different types of trees from quite a long way away.
