Why does my for loop reach the end in 4 seconds?
for i = 1,100 do
print(i)
wait(1/100)
end
This for loop was meant to reach a 100 in one second because it runs a 100 times and waits 1/100th of a second (0.01) each and 100*0.01 is 1 second. But the code actually reaches a 100 in 4 seconds for some reason when I stopwatch it. Can anybody explain why and also a solution?

The minimum wait time is 29 milliseconds. There is no guarantee the thread will wait exactly 29ms. 'print()' takes time too. There is no guarantee each loop will execute in a consistently timed manner. Cousin_Potato 129 — 5y

for i = 1,100 do
print(i)
wait(0.01) -- Not the same as 1/100 (in strict Lua terms, but this is what you should be aiming for)
end
You're welcome.

- your stopwatch is broken
- your game is broken 3.your stopwatch and game are broken 4.all of the above 5.(the only semi-legit thing im saying)assuming your testing this in studio, thingy here needs time to process some things first before it can move on to run the code (e.g the print()), especially when the wait() thing is more than 2 decimal places, it becomes clear that its not accurate and u might wanna tune the number down a bit

Yes there is, using a longer wait time. Also refrain from posting what should be comments in the answers. User#19524 175 — 5y
