You could try submitting this job: sum(1/(1+1:(2^31-1) ) ) # 2^31-1 being the highest integer in R at the moment After I consumed all of the physical space in my 32GB memory and paged out to virtual memory (something I was not surprised about) with this action, I killed my R session. You could also see if you got better answers from a symbolic algebra program. -- David Winsemius, MD Alameda, CA, USA ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
