Looping issue

[sehudson]

I am very aware of how loops should behave. If I have:

for(int i=0; i<4; i++){
System.out.println("*");
}

I get:
*
*
*
*

Simple enough...

However, I am seeing weird behavior in my code:

  System.out.println("should loop "+data.length+" times");
                    for (int j = 0; j < data.length; i++) {
                        System.out.println(i+" of "+data.length);
                        data[i] = Integer.parseInt(temp[i]);
                        System.out.println("adding a number");
                    }

I get this output

should loop 4 times
0 of 4
adding a number
1 of 4
adding a number
2 of 4
adding a number
3 of 4
adding a number
4 of 4
ErrorEncountered: 4

Why is it going to the 5th iteration? Maybe I'm overlooking something simple.

amazing how reading through your own post helps...figured it out.

Yeah, i and j thing.

Also note that I changed your quote tags into code tags in your second block of code, to help make it more readable.

It's sometimes known as 'The Cardboard Guru' because, so often, the simple act of trying to explain a tricky bug to someone is enough for you to spot the problem yourself - so you might as well have been explaining to a piece of cardboard...
