Start and stop buttons

Question

Hi,

First I know GUI code don't work on SoloLearn app but anyone who can correct my   code please assist.

I have a code below with an example of my question. On my code I have 2 Jbuttons, one is to stop a while loop and the second is to re-start a while loop. I'm able to click the "stop" button to stop a loop but when I click a start button nothing happens. Notice I'm doing this operation on a deferent thread.

I also tried the Swing Worker but I encounter the same problem. I read somewhere that I can only use this operation once on a Swing Worker.

Anyone know how I can Stop/Start the while loop as I desire on a program or on my code?

Answer 1

Because having a code compiler would take up HEAPS of memory, the code is excecjted on a server. The server sends back only the text output, so it’s not possibke to use graphics in the SoloLean Code Playground.

Answer 2

Oh sorry, I read your question wrong. I am not sure how to fix your problem.

Answer 3

I would make it so when you press a button, the value of a variable is updated. The other button would change the variable back. In the main loop, if the variable is equal to something (the “off” value), then it would skip that iteration.

Yes, you answered but not my question based on a code.

What should I do on my code to make buttons control the while loop continuously?
