hi friendly people, I want some help with some code. |
| 17:01 |

JZA |
I am trying to get this while loop to work. |
| 17:02 |
|
JZA |
the code is working for the most part just the end, where the loop doesnt exit. |

JZA: hi, I'll take a look |
| 17:18 |
|
JZA |
cool, thanks. |
| 17:22 |
|
aditsu |
huh, lots of things to comment on... let's start with the logic |
| 17:23 |
|
aditsu |
you have a password, and you're doing 3 tests to see if it's valid, right? |
| 17:23 |
|
JZA |
ok but this is what I need. I just need to when it returns "Valid password" it will finalize the loop. |
| 17:23 |
|
aditsu |
well, it never gets to the part where it says "Valid password" |
| 17:23 |
|
JZA |
yes, the conditionals work, the functions work, the only issue I am having is with the while loop on line 18 |
| 17:24 |
|
JZA |
read the comments of how is behaving |
| 17:24 |
|
aditsu |
read what I just said :) |
| 17:24 |
|
JZA |
the only thing I need is that when is succesful, it print out Valid password (which it does) and then exit the loop. |
| 17:24 |
|
JZA |
it does get to that part thought. |
| 17:24 |
|
aditsu |
no it doesn't |
| 17:25 |
|
JZA |
after printing valid password it ask again 'enter password' |
| 17:25 |
|
aditsu |
it never prints valid password |
| 17:25 |
|
JZA |
and thats when i want to break. |
| 17:26 |
|
aditsu |
it never gets there, that part is after the loop |
| 17:26 |
|
JZA |
but if it was after the loop why does it ask to enter the password again. |
| 17:26 |
|
aditsu |
because it repeats the loop |
| 17:27 |
|
JZA |
ummm that didnt make sense, if it prints valid password which you said is outside of the loop, why would it go back to 'enter password'. |
| 17:27 |
|
aditsu |
it does NOT print valid password, I told you 3 times already |
| 17:28 |
|
JZA |
one sec |
| 17:28 |
|
aditsu |
it never ever ever never ever prints valid password |
| 17:29 |
|
aditsu |
never |
| 17:29 |
|
JZA |
one sec let me update the pastebin |
| 17:30 |

| 17:31 |
|
aditsu |
ok, that's different |
| 17:31 |
|
aditsu |
JZA: so, what do you think should cause the loop to break in this code? |
| 17:32 |
|
JZA |
well if I put break it will break regardless if its succesful or not. |
| 17:32 |
|
aditsu |
depends where you put it |
| 17:32 |
|
JZA |
after the Valid password |
| 17:33 |
|
JZA |
or what do you suggest |
| 17:33 |
|
JZA |
ok I just put it and it stops on the first condition. |
| 17:34 |
|
aditsu |
the way the code is written, after the "valid password" line it is already outside of the if |
| 17:34 |
|
aditsu |
do you know how to execute multiple statements with an if? |
| 17:36 |
|
JZA |
usually just semicolon and write the next line before the closing '}' isn't it? |
| 17:36 |
|
aditsu |
well, you don't have a '{' for the if |
| 17:36 |
|
JZA |
true |
| 17:37 |
|
aditsu |
and yes, you can use a block after the if, to execute multiple statements |
| 17:37 |
|
JZA |
I know |
| 17:37 |
|
JZA |
so I need one { .. System.out.println("Valid password"); return; } ? or what should it be? |
| 17:38 |
|
aditsu |
you can try |
| 17:40 |
|
JZA |
ok that worked, thanks. :) |
| 17:40 |
|
JZA |
awesome dude. |
| 17:40 |
|
aditsu |
you're welcome; there are still many ways to improve your code |
| 17:40 |
|
aditsu |
but at least it works |
