What determines the speed of while true?

Question

Programming

Take the following program (pseudocode):

a = 0
while (true) {
    a = a + 1
    print(a) 
}

What determines the rate of increase а? From the operating system, from the programming language, or from the processor\SSD?

How much will increase the rate of increase аif you remove print?

Is there a name for this "speed"?

Answer 1

1. processor
2. PL, although more precisely from the implementations of compilers and interpreters
If you remove print, the speed will increase significantly. And it is better to describe the problem you want to solve by asking "such" question.
