Is it possible to create a loop in java using a String not an Integer(int) and how it it done?

Answer 1

No.
As far as for loops go you must define an integer to indicate how many times the process is.supposed to repeat

Answer 2

Yes you can. You can create an String array for example:

String[] names = {"Name1","Name2","Name3"};
for(String n: names)
System.out.println(n);

If it is what you mean..

Answer 3

JavaBobbo that's still using the number of names in the array names you can also call a function to get the number of entries in an array

so technically you still have to use an integer

Answer 4

Roel Yesbox but still an String 😊

Yusuf then I think you should rephrase your question so that people can understand better..
For me it sounds you wanna use a String in a loop instead of int

Answer 5

Possibly something like this:

String s = "0";

while (!s.equals("10")) {
System.out.println(s);
s = s.valueOf(Integer.valueOf(s)+1);
}

Answer 6

JavaBobbo it was not my question I was answering

Answer 7

Cluck'n'Coder that's a while loop not a for loop

Answer 8

@Yusuf - The questioner never explicitly stated that he wanted a for-loop - just a loop using a string. But assuming a for-loop was requested:

for (String s = "0"; !s.equals("10"); s = s.valueOf(Integer.valueOf(s)+1))
System.out.println(s);

Answer 9

JavaBobbo that's an array, but fair enough. Another way is using length. I don't know how java does that, but in js you can use
for(int i=0; i<anystring.length; i++){ /// code goes here /// }
Where anystring is a string or a variable holding a string, but yes, .length returns an integet

Answer 10

You can use map ( Map<String,Object>) instead so keyset will be string set you can iterate through it.
