Erm ... we don't expect perfect English here, but we do expect understandable English.

  • You need a little [what] here?
  • What counts down from 59?
  • Got the same code as what? From which book?

  • any trick?


    Any trick for doing what?

    Welcome to the Ranch
    I ran your code unchanged and it started from 99. I suspect your command line does not display enough lines when you scroll, and you are only scrolling back to 59. I added code tags, which you should always use, to your code, and you can see how much better it looks Unfortunately that highlights the inconsistent spacing and indentation.

    ok man thanks, you´re right, that was the problem.

    i´m running it in command prompt, so it might be the problem.

    on any open command prompt, right-click on the bar across the top. Select properties. Go to the layout tab. On the "screen buffer size", I put in a height of 9999.

    (I also like to choose the "quick edit" and "insert mode" options on the "Options" tab.)

    This should then let you scroll back and see it all from 99 to 0.
