how to stop for loop

[rjagan]

Hi friends,

i have developed a gui by using netbeans..

i have one text box, based upon the text box value the for loop will be executed..

if i press the start button the for loop will execute..

for(i=0;i<textboxvalue;i++
{
--- some codings---
}
i entered 1000 or 10000 it will take more time to finish the loop
I want to stop the process in between when i press the stop button

send the code friends for stop the process. ?
only the process is stop. i dont want to close the gui window..

Use

break;

to stop any loop

You can also set the counter to no longer meet the condition.

Loops with sentinel values should really be while or do-while loops, not for loops.

while (!stop) {
   // process loop
}

However, maybe try this:

for (int i = 0; i >= 0; i++) {
   if (!stop)
      do something
   else
      i = -2;
}
