    counting loop

    i am trying to write a loop that counts how many times the number 3 appears in a one-dimensional array called array.



    Code:
    int count = 0;
    for (int x = 0; x < Array.length; x++)
    	if (Array[x] == 3)
    	count++;
    is this correct?

    Looks ok to me.
    Also,
    Why not try the code instead of coming here to see if it is ok. It is ok to test code
    Woop?

    No. ....Maybe. It depends on what Array really is, I can't tell from what you posted. If your array is actually a class, that would depend on whether or not there is a member called length. If it's just an array of ints or something
    PHP Code:
    sizeof Array / sizeof *Array 
    might work better.

    thanks, also i do check the code but sometimes i have noticed that you can get the code to work but it might not be the proper way to write it. so what i am trying to do is make sure that i am writing it properly to make it work.

    thanks again
