Thread: For Loop problem

Hi, this is probably a simple and question but can I use a For loop and inside it several Else If statement. Below is what I'm trying to do in general.

For(0 < 10)

If(String compare...==0)
return()

Else if(String compare...==1)
return()

Else if(String compare...==2)
return()
...
...
...
Else if(String compare...==9)
return()

Any Advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

yeah you can use if-else thingies multiple times inside for loop, but gotta use proper syntax.

thanks mate

Use accolades to make clear what you mean...

If you want to stop the loop whenever one of the 'if's' is satisfied, use the command 'break;'

Code:

for( int i=0; i<10; i++) {

  if(String compare...==0)
    break; // stops the loop

  else if(String compare...==1)
    break;

}

With so many if/else statements, you could consider a switch :

If you are using multiple if statements I think using the switch would be the best option. It would clean up the program and make it more efficient than multiple if statements
