This @dcss guy needs to be whooped hard..

I don't talk too much, You think you know better..

We can have a quick code contest, you and i..One ring, lol

I like you man!

^^^Funny dude, after all my trollin' i was expecting you to level the entire board. . . . .just kidding, i just wanted a little excitement and do not mean harm o.
To all of you dudes that actually think that I am opposing the OP, well, you are wrong!

no no no no no

there is only one way to resolve this impasse.

the first one to write a program that finds the 1000th prime number (primes: 2, 3, 5 7...) that doesn't contain the digit 4 (when written in decimal) wins the... whatever argument or egofest is at stake...

let the coding begin...

I dont even know what a prime number is. . . .

I could've done that for fun bro, but that's child's play!

Bring something more realistic to the table and we gon' play..

..just joking tho, I also don't know what a prime number is..

@Timtoday and everyone who had my back earlier , Thanks peeps.

dhtml18:

me thinks it refers to the phone number of a prime minister. that's why its called "prime minister's number"

Oh, like the prime numbers signature contest that seun did back then abi? Only in this case, we want to generate the phone number rather than signature of the prime minister? then i am all game.

DanielTheGeek:
Notepad is a free text editor that comes with Computers running the Windows OS, It is also a competent code editor...many don't know this, Some people use it for quick typing!
We will be creating a command that will shut the computer down when run, also we will set a timer that shuts down the computer at "X" seconds!

Enough of my talking and let's get started..

---

First Step:

Open Notepad (You can find Notepad by clicking the Start menu and selecting "Programs" → "Accessories" → "Notepad". You can also click the Start menu, type notepad, and press ↵ Enter.)
See Illustration below

---

Second Step:

Type

shutdown.exe -s

on the first line. This is the command to shut down the computer.
See Illustration below

---

Third Step:

Add a timer by using the

-t

flag. By default, the shutdown process will be delayed by 30 seconds. You can change this by using the

-t

gflag with the number of seconds you want to delay.

For example, to create a shutdown command that waits 45 seconds, type

shutdown.exe -s -t 45

To create a shutdown command that shuts the computer down immediately, type

shutdown.exe -s -t 00

See Illustration below

---

Fourth Step:

Add a message to be displayed. If you want, you can add a personalized message to the shut down notice by using the

-c

flag. Simply, type

shutdown.exe -s -t 45 -c "comment"

. The comment must be in quotes.[1]

For example, you can let the user know how long until the shutdown begins by typing

shutdown.exe -s -t 45 -c "Computer will shut down in 45 seconds"

or

shutdown.exe -s -t 45 -c "Hey, My name is Daniel and i'm shutting this computer down NOW"

LOL, don't do that.. that's mean, but for a prank...Who cares?
See Illustration below

---

Fifth Step:

Click "File" and select "Save As". You will need to save the file as a batch file, which Windows can execute to run the shutdown command.

---

Sixth Step:

Click the "Save as type" drop-down menu and select "All Files (*.*)". This will allow you to change the file type.

---

Seventh Step:

Delete the

.txt

from the end of the file name. Replace it with

.bat

---

Eight Step:

Save the file. A new copy will be created with the

.bat

extension, and it will have a different icon than a standard text file.
See Illustration below

---

Final Step:

Run the newly-created file to run your shutdown process. The shutdown will occur according to the rules you created.
Make sure you've saved anything you need to before running the shut down program.

I can even close my eyes and do that on windows. Just press LOGO-KEY + R, type command and press enter, no need of prompt sef.
Why would i want to write that in a batch file? I get better things to do with a batch file o jare - dont let us even go there. I be master for batch-file writing, but it is a basic skill that every win32 programmer should have.

Writing batch file for a windows programmer, is like writing bash files for linux - but i be cross-platform programmer sha.

This OP is just a bloody attention seeker, ain't even got better post to make sef. Deserves a permanent ban for constituting nuisance to the board.

@dhtml, are you sure you are not the one seeking attention? You honestly amuse me with your posts on this forum atimes. He has posted what he knows which many of us humble users do not. You know it. We dont. Would the world have shattered to pieces if you didnt rub it in our faces that you can do it with your eyes closed? And who asked if you are a cross platform batch programmer with unix skills? Do you know how many of us know same, and are quietly lauding the OP for being generous with his knowledge?

I know you and know you are a little skilled, but this is just immature.

@OP, thank you jare. I 've been using this to shutdown my system using a timer everynight (Love playing music at night) , but the adding comment thing never occurred to me till you posted this. Thanks, man!!!

You amuse me as well in your comments, are you envious of me? and wish i will just shut-up? Maybe i will, but lets see what you have to offer first before we talk shop. . . .yawns very loudly and trolls into the next thread
