Breaking out of a Loop

Expand Post »

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;
}
}

Re: Breaking out of a Loop

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.

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;

Re: Breaking out of a Loop

I figured it out. I was comparing strings wrong. Once I fixed that, it worked.

Thanks for the help.

Re: Breaking out of a Loop

Ok, that was my second guess...
You have to use equals() to compare strings like you were wanting.
