Breaking out of a Loop

Feb 17th, 2005

I need help with breaking out of a loop. I know it's something simple, but I can't remember. Here's my code.

for(count = 0; count < inputArray.length; count++)
{
inputArray[count] = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(
null,
"Please input a name or exit: ",
"Input Name",
JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE);

if(inputArray[count] == "Exit")
{
break;
}
}

I don't think you can use the break statement in for loops. I guess you would have to set the count variable to something greater than the ending condition in the loop, that way it won't loop anymore.

 Help with Code Tags 
 Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
for int(i=0; i<10; i++)
{
   if (i=2)
   {
       i = 11;
    }
}
for int(i=0; i<10; i++)
{
   if (i=2)
   {
       i = 11;
    }
}

or something like that;
