;Task:
Create a program that, when run, would display all integers from '''1''' to <big><big> ''' <b> ∞ </b> ''' </big></big> (or any relevant implementation limit), in sequence (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, etc) if given enough time.
An example may not be able to reach arbitrarily-large numbers based on implementations limits. For example, if integers are represented as a 32-bit unsigned value with 0 as the smallest representable value, the largest representable value would be 4,294,967,295. Some languages support arbitrarily-large numbers as a built-in feature, while others make use of a module or library.
If appropriate, provide an example which reflect the language implementation's common built-in limits as well as an example which supports arbitrarily large numbers, and describe the nature of such limitations—or lack thereof.

I no longer have my personal copy of:
6502 assembly language subroutines
by Lance A. Leventhal, Winthrop Saville
pub Osborne/McGraw-Hill
(destroyed in bushfire)
It is available on the Wayback Machine (archive.org)
Pages 253ff contains a general purpose Multiple-Precision Binary Addition subroutine
Not needing to re-invent the wheel, I used this as the basis for my solution.

Actually printing the numbers out would depend on the hardware and operating system.

A more complex, arbitrary precision version that can count as high as you have free bytes of memory to use. (This does assemble with CP/M's MAC assembler, but since it doesn't implement PRBUFR, it's only useful for exposition purposes, or for loading into DDT.)
<syntaxhighlight lang="8080asm">

Alternative version
<pre>
Developed on an Acorn A5000 with RISC OS 3.10 (30 Apr 1992)
Using the assembler contained in ARM BBC BASIC V version 1.05 (c) Acorn 1989
The Acorn A5000 is the individual computer used to develop the code,
the code is applicable to all the Acorn Risc Machines (ARM)
produced by Acorn and the StrongARM produced by digital.
Investigation (a)
If all that was needed was to increment without doing the required display part of the task
then:
.a_loop
ADDS R0 , R0, #1
ADCS R1 , R1, #0
ADCS R2 , R2, #0
ADCS R3 , R3, #0
B a_loop
will count a 128 bit number
Investigation (b)
How long does it take?
.b_loop_01 \ took 71075 cs = 11.85 mins
ADDS R0, R0, #1 \ only a single ADD in the loop - unable to get the pipeline going
B B_loop_01
.b_loop_04 \ took 31100 cs = 5.18 mins
ADDS R0, R0, #1 \ with four instructions within the loop
ADDS R0, R0, #1
ADDS R0, R0, #1
ADDS R0, R0, #1
B B_loop_04
.b_loop_16 \ took 21112 cs = 3.52 mins
ADDS R0, R0, #1 \ with sixteen instructions within the loop
followed by a further 15 ADDS instructions
B B_loop_16
so there clearly is a time advantage to putting enough inline instructions to make the pipeline effective
But beware - for a 64 bit number (paired ADDS and ADCS) it took 38903 cs = 6.48 mins to count to only 32 bits,
a 128 bit number will take 4,294,967,296 * 4,294,967,296 * 4,294,967,296 times 6.48 mins.
My pet rock will tell you how long that took as it will have evolved into a sentient being by then.
The task
Producing a solution in say 64 bits or 128 bits is trivial when only looking at the increment.
Hovever the display part of the task is very difficult.
So instead go for BCD in as many bits as required. This makes the increment more involved, but
the display part of the task becomes manageable.
So a solution is:
.bcd_32bits_vn02
MOV R4 , #0 \ if eventually 4 registers each with 8 BCD
MOV R5 , #0 \ then 32 digits total
MOV R6 , #0
MOV R7 , #0
MOV R8 , #0 \ general workspace
MOV R9 , #0 \ a flag in the display - either doing leading space or digits
MVN R10 #&0000000F \ preset a mask of &FFFFFFF0
\ preset in R10 as the ARM has a very limited
\ range of immediate literals
MOV R11 , #&F \ preset so can be used in AND etc together with shifts
B bcd_32bits_loop_vn02 \ intentionally jump to inside the loop as this
\ single branch saves the need for multiple branches
\ later on (every branch resets the instruction pipeline)
\ the repeated blocks of code could be extracted into routines, however as they are small
\ I have decided to keep them as inline code as I have decided that the improved execution
\ from better use of the pipeline is greater than the small overall code size
.bcd_32bits_display_previous_number_vn02
MOV R9 , #0 \ start off with leading spaces (when R9<>0 output "0" instead)
ANDS R8 , R11 , R4, LSR#28 \ extract just the BCD in bits 28 to 31 of R4
MOVNE R9 , #1 \ if the BCD is non-zero then stop doing leading spaces
CMP R9 , #0 \ I could not find a way to eliminate this CMP
MOVEQ R0 , #&20 \ leading space
ORRNE R0 , R8 , #&30 \ digit 0 to 9 all ready for output
SWI OS_WriteC \ output the byte in R0

The range of a numeric value in Befunge is implementation dependent, but is commonly 32 bit signed integers for the stack, so a maximum value of 2147483647. However, note that some implementations have a smaller range for ''displayed'' values, so the sequence may appear to wrap to negative numbers while the internal value is in fact still increasing.
Also note that the range of values written to the code page or 'playfield' is often much smaller - frequently only supporting 8 bits, sometimes signed, sometimes unsigned.

=={{header|Bracmat}}==
{{trans|Ruby}}
Bracmat uses big numbers. Numbers are stored with a radix 10, each decimal digit occupying one byte. When multiplying or dividing, numbers are temporarily converted to radix 10000 (32-bit systems: 1 digit occupies two bytes) or radix 100000000 (64-bit systems: 1 digit occupies four bytes) to speed up the computation.

=={{header|Brainf***}}==
This program assumes that decrementing past zero wraps around, but it doesn't rely on cell size, other than that a cell can hold at least six bits. It also assumes the ASCII character set. This is an arbitrarily large number implementation.

-------------------[>>-<++++++++++<[+>-<]]>[-<+>]<++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++>]<[<]>>[-<+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This modification of the previous program will print out 1 to the maximum cell value, still assuming wrapping. On many implementations, this will print out 1-255.

The following will count indefinitely but once the 32-bit (or 64-bit depending on J engine version) limit is reached, the results will be reported as floating point values (which would immediately halt on 64 bit J and halt with the 53 bit precision limit is exceeded on 32 bit J). Since that could take many, many centuries, even on a 32 bit machine, more likely problems include the user dying of old age and failing to pay the electric bill resulting in the machine being powered off.
<syntaxhighlight lang="j"> count=: (echo ] >:)^:_</syntaxhighlight>
The above works with both fixed sized integers and floating point numbers (fixed sized integers are automatically promoted to floating point, if they overflow), but also works with extended precision integers (which will not overflow, unless they get so large that they cannot be represented in memory, but that should exceed lifetime of the universe, let alone lifetime of the computer).
This adds support for extended precision (in that it converts non-extended precision arguments to extended precision arguments) and will display integers to ∞ (or at least until the machine is turned off or interrupted or crashes).

=={{header|jq}}==
The Go implementation of jq does support arbitrary-precision integer arithmetic, but currently (2024) the C implementation of jq will resort to floating-point arithmetic for very large integers.
Consider, for example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="jq">0 | recurse(. + 1)</syntaxhighlight>
Using gojq, this will indefinitely generate a stream of integers beginning with 0, but jq (the C implementation) will eventually lose precision.
For generating integers, the built-in function <tt>range(m;n)</tt> is more likely to be useful in practice; if m and n are integers, it generates integers from m to n-1, inclusive. `range(m; infinite)` is also valid for any integer.
The C implementation of jq supports tail recursion optimization, and thus the following tail-recursive definition could be used:
<syntaxhighlight lang="jq">def iota: ., (. + 1 | iota);
0 | iota</syntaxhighlight>
One could also write:<syntaxhighlight lang="jq">0 | while(true; . + 1)</syntaxhighlight>
Integers can of course also be represented by strings of decimal digits, and if this representation is satisfactory, a stream of consecutive integers thus represented can be generated using the same technique as is employed on the
[[Count_in_octal]] page.
=={{header|Julia}}==
<syntaxhighlight lang="julia">i = zero(BigInt) # or i = big(0)
while true

end</syntaxhighlight>
The built-in <code>BigInt</code> type is an arbitrary precision integer (based on the GMP library), so the value of <code>i</code> is limited only by available memory. To use (much faster) hardware fixed-width integer types, use e.g. <code>zero(Int32)</code> or <code>zero(Int64)</code>. (Initializing <code>i = 0</code> will use fixed-width integers that are the same size as the hardware address width, e.g. 64-bit on a 64-bit machine.)

Typically, numbers are stored as double precision floating point numbers, giving accurate integer values up to about 2^53=bitmax('double')=9.0072e+15. Above this limit, round off errors occur. This limitation can be overcome by defining the numeric value as type int64 or uint64
<syntaxhighlight lang="matlab"> a = uint64(1); while (1) printf('%i\n',a); a=a+1; end; </syntaxhighlight>
This will run up to 2^64 and then stop increasing, there will be no overflow.
<pre>
>> a=uint64(10e16+1) % 10e16 is first converted into a double precision number causing some round-off error.
a = 100000000000000000
>> a=uint64(10e16)+1
a = 100000000000000001
</pre>
The above limitations can be overcome with additional toolboxes for symbolic computation or multiprecision computing.
Matlab and Octave recommend vectorizing the code, one might pre-allocate the sequence up to a specific N.
<syntaxhighlight lang="matlab"> N = 2^30; printf('%d\n', 1:N); </syntaxhighlight>
The main limitation is the available memory on your machine. The standard version of Octave has a limit that a single data structure can hold at most 2^31 elements. In order to overcome this limit, Octave must be compiled with "./configure --enable-64", but this is currently not well supported.

... while technically fulfilling the task, will probably never display anything, as most C Preprocessor implementations won't print their output until the file is done processing.

On 64-bit Perls this will get to <tt>2^64-1</tt> then print <tt>1.84467440737096e+19</tt> forever. On 32-bit Perls using standard doubles this will get to <tt>999999999999999</tt> then start incrementing and printing floats until they lose precision. This behavior can be changed by adding something like:
<syntaxhighlight lang="perl">use bigint;
my $i = 0; print ++$i, "\n" while 1;</syntaxhighlight>
which makes almost all integers large (ranges are excluded). Faster alternatives exist with non-core modules, e.g.

* <tt>use Math::Pari qw/:int/;</tt>
* <tt>use Math::GMP qw/:constant/;</tt>

PL/M natively supports two integer types, named <code>BYTE</code> and <code>ADDRESS</code>.
<code>ADDRESS</code> is a 16-bit integer, so it can count up to 65536. The following program
will print numbers until the <code>ADDRESS</code> variable overflows.
<syntaxhighlight lang="plm">100H:

To get around this limitation, the following program stores the number as an array of digits.
It will keep going until it runs out of memory (and then it will crash).

'''Usage:'''
Press CLR RST R/S. Incrementing numbers will flash on the screen. In one minute, the program counts to 86. Most of this time is taken displaying the number on the screen.
'''Note:'''
The minimum possible "Integer Sequence" program, which increments the number without displaying it, is:
<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
+ 1 // Increment the number
RST // Loop

This program runs much faster. In one minute, the program counts to 640.

Visual Basic .NET supports an unsigned, 64 bit Integer (maxing out at a <i>whopping</i> 9 223 372 036 854 775 807), however, this is not an intrinsic type, it is a structure that is <i><b>not</b></i> supported by the CLS (Common Language Specification).
The CLS supported type (also a structure) is <i>Decimal</i> (an even more impressive range from positive 79 228 162 514 264 337 593 543 950 335 to negative 79 228 162 514 264 337 593 543 950 335), I have used a standard CLS <i>Integer</i> intrinsic type (from -2 147 483 648 through 2 147 483 647).
Note that attempting to store any value larger than the maximum value of any given type (say 2 147 483 648 for an Integer) will result in an OverflowException being thrown (<i>"Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow."</i>)

===Arbitrarily large numbers===
One could use the '''System.Numerics''' library as the C# example did, or one can do the following.<br/>A list of Long Integers is maintained as the incremented number. As the incremented value approaches the maximum allowed (''base'') in the first element of ''ar'', a new item is inserted at the beginning of the list to extend the incremented number. The process has the limitation of when the ''ar'' array is enlarged to the point where the program exhausts the available memory, it ought to indicate failure and terminate. It is my understanding that a '''List''' count is backed by an '''Integer.MaxValue''' limitation and there may also be a 2 GB per object limitation involved. Since writing to the Console is such a slow process, I lack the patience to wait for the program (as written) to fail. If the program is tweaked to fail early, the practical limit seems to be a number 2,415,919,086 digits in length.

In Wren all numbers are stored in 64-bit floating point form. This means that precise integer calculations are only possible within a maximum absolute magnitude of ''2^53-1'' (16 digits) unless one uses the ''Wren-big'' module whose ''BigInt'' class can deal with integers of arbitrary size.
Also, the ''System.print'' method in the standard library will only display a maximum of 14 digits before switching to scientific notation. To get around this one can use instead the ''Fmt.print'' method of the ''Wren-fmt'' module which displays integers 'normally' up to the maximum and also caters for BigInts as well.
<syntaxhighlight lang="wren">import "./fmt" for Fmt
