    I need a working counter.

    Can anyone show me the code for a working counter, what I want to happen is in this code:

    A:
    X=X+1;
    if (X==10000000)
    goto end;
    goto A

    but every time i run it, it opens up the window and then closes it instantly, I want it to open up for at least 5 seconds though...
    Please help.
    Signature is optional, I didnt opt for one.

    If you wanted to, instead of:

    X = X + 1;

    do this:

    X = X +.1; //or X+=.1 does the same thing. Also, .1 might be too little, try .5 even.

    If you do this, then you'll need to declare X as:
    double X;
    or
    long double X;
    Environment: OS X, GCC / G++
    Codes: Java, C#, C/C++

    You need to use the double equals sign in the if statement!

    if (X==100000000) {
