i don't know how to limit the iteration in my for loop code.

Question

Someone please, help me with the syntax to print out " I love Java " for only 5 times. Thanks every body.

Answer 1

You should do:

for(int x = 0, y = sc.nextInt(); x < y; x++){
// Rest of the code
}

EDIT: initially, x = 0 and y = the number you input.
So if you input 5, you will see " I love Java" 5 times.

I wish you success!

Answer 2

You can also write this:
x = sc.nextInt(); x < 10; x++

But x <= x + 5 can not work because you increment x.
for example input = 5
x = 5; x <= 10 (true); x++
x = 6; x <= 11 (true); x++
x = 7; x <= 12 ... and so on
Hope this helps to understand why you get an infinite loop.

Answer 3

Oh, it's because there is an input, it causes confusion.. In this case, it is unnecessary. Here are variations:

for(int x = 0; x < 5; x++)

or

for(int x = 0; x <= 4; x++)

or

for(int x = 5; x > 0; x--)

And so forth. I wish you success!

Answer 4

If you only want to print something five times:

for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++){
//print something
}

But I am not sure why you have a scanner in your code.

Answer 5

Thank you but I think your both codes not do exactly 5 times. I just want to print out 5 times no matter of whatever numbers people assign to "x" or "y" the result is always 5 times. ( Sorry if my English couldn't help you understand , because English is not my first language )

Answer 6

Denise Roßberg I just want to solve the math with whatever number people want to input for the value of "x" but the result is 5 sentences with " I Love Java " 😄
