private void example()
{
int j=10
for (int i=0; i<10; i++)
{
j=j – i;
}
Can you tell me what the following code would do to the values of i and j?

for loop
Well, 'i' starts at zero and 'j' at 10. So, since 'i' increments at the end of each cycle of the loop and 'j' decrements inside the loop, when the condition for the loop to run a cycle ( 'i<10') is checked the sum of 'i' and 'j' will always be ten (the difference starts at 10 and the rate of change in each is one unit, but in opposite directions, offsetting each other).
@danpost Actually, it wouldn't. j decreases by i each cycle, so you'd get the pairs (10, 0), (9, 1), (7, 2), (4, 3), etc.
@smcgee A simple way to figure out what's happening to the values overtime, you can log the values by adding this line into the loop (after changing the value of j):
Systm.out.println("i: "+i+" j: "+j);@SPower, I though that 'i' at the end of line 6 was a '1'. However, the pairs would then be using (i, j) pairings:
(0, 10), (1, 10), (2, 9), (3, 7), (4, 4), (5, 0), (6, -5), (7, -11), (8, -18), (9, -26), (10, -35)
or: j = 10 - i * ( i - 1 ) / 2

@danpost, no, it wasn't. Line 6 reads (copy pasted): j=j – i;SPower wrote...
Sorry, I misread your reply. Turns out I'm capable of that too :/. Sorry again.public void act()
{
exampleAgain(); // Add your action code here.
}
private void exampleAgain()
{
int j=10;
for (int i=0; i<10; i++)
{
j=j-i;
getWorld().addObject(new Bee(), 200, 200);
}
}I tested out the code using an addObject method but it does not seem to do anything. What am I missing in this code? Thanks -

Does this mean it is an infinite loop?I tested out the code using an addObject method but it does not seem to do anything. What am I missing in this code?
You probably only see one Bee object added into the world per act, where actually ten are added, one over top of another.
However, you appear to be calling the method every act cycle, unconditionally. This will mean the loop will complete about 50 times per second; placing about 500 Bee objects in the world per second. In what class is this code located and why would you want to continuously add 10 Bee objects in the world per act cycle? I foresee lagging and possibly an OutOfMemoryException happening.You need to login to post a reply.
