create loop

Hello,

I want to make a loop and print until the value of the num is under 15, what is wrong with the below please as I cannot take the value of variable num to the loop method;

Code:

---

public class class3 {
    public static void main(String args[]){
           
            int num = 10;
            if (num < 15);
            num ++;
            loop();
           
    }
           
           
            public static void loop(String args[]){
                   
           
           
            if (num < 15);
            System.out.println(num);
            num ++[CODE]

---

[/CODE]

Read about if statements.
Read about loops.
Read about passing parameters.

There are several errors in your code that suggests you do not understand the basics. Go back and read your book/tutorial/lecture notes and get a better understanding.

Lots of problems. You should definitely go back and review the basics. One, there is no reason to pass a String array to your loop() method because you don't use it. A String array is passed to the main() method because Java requires the main() method to have that for it to be able to run. If you just put "public static void main()" Java would complain that it couldn't find a main method. There is a use for the array passed to the main method but you don't need it right now. Two, don't put a semi colon after an if statement. Three, things you want to be done inside an if go inside brackets { } so that anything inside the brackets will be executed if the conditional statement is true. That is why you don't put a semi-colon because if you do nothing will be executed no matter what the conditional statement evaluates to. So in this example "1 + 1 = 2" will be printed only if 1 + 1 is equal to two (1 + 1 == 2) and "Done!" will be printed no matter what.

Code:

---

if (1 + 1 == 2)
{
    System.out.println("1 + 1 = 2");
}
System.out.println("Done!");

---

EDIT: Also I forgot to mention that you need a semi-colon after the second num++ call so "num++;". You also need closing braces for the loop() method and class3, although they may have just gotten cut off.

Code:

---

public class Test
{ // <- Opening class bracket

    public static void main(String args[])
    { // <- Opening method bracket

        // Do stuff

    } // <- Closing method bracket
   
    public static void loop()
    { // <- Opening method bracket

        // Do some more stuff

    } // <- Closing method bracket

} // <- Closing class bracket

Aconti,

We'd better list what is right in your code; have you studied even the basics of the Java language because the shown code doesn't make any sense at all, e.g. naming a method explode() doesn't make it do as its name suggests. Go find a book and study a bit.

kind regards,
