Thread: remembering the for loop initializer

	for( i = 0;i<count1;i++){
			while(mod){
			stockName[i] =	portFolioStockName();
			stockSym[i]  =	portFolioStockSym();	
			unitPrice[i] =	portFolioUnitPrice();
			unitBought[i] = portFolioUnitBought();
			portFolioSummary(i);
			System.out.print("If Ok, enter 0 else enter 1 to modify :");
			myInt = myScanner.nextInt();
            mod = (myInt !=0);
			totalStock = unitPrice[i]*unitBought[i];
			cashLeft = capital - totalStock;
			}
			mod=true;

what can i do to remember the i = 0 initializer,because my for loop will be repeated for quite a number of times depending on the loop

while(mod)

and my arrays are created depending on the i initializer how can i remember the i ? because my current code overwrites the arrays[i] each time, my for loop is used again as i value starts at 0 again.

just don't initialize i again:

for(;i<count1;i++)
{
...
}

what about the termination condition, because count1 is a input by user of 1-99, if the user inputs 1 for a new for loop with the condition already at 5 wont it terminate immediately

i have not learnt ArrayList class and also i tried doing it your way but it is still the same the array got replaced when i enter a new 1

my needs int and double types to store the amount of money input, so i cant use aaraylist

Yes you can, use the wrapper classes called Integer and Double, capital I and D

final List<Integer> myIntegers = new ArrayList<Integer>();
 
final List<Double> myDoubles = new ArrayList<Double>();

// Json

lol, oops. i forgot to update counter.

int counter = 0;
for(int i = 0;i<count1;i++)
{
	while(mod)
	{
		stockName[counter] =	portFolioStockName();
		stockSym[counter]  =	portFolioStockSym();	
		unitPrice[counter] =	portFolioUnitPrice();
		unitBought[counter] = portFolioUnitBought();
		portFolioSummary(counter);
		System.out.print("If Ok, enter 0 else enter 1 to modify :");
		myInt = myScanner.nextInt();
		mod = (myInt !=0);
		totalStock = unitPrice[counter]*unitBought[counter];
		cashLeft = capital - totalStock;
		counter++;
	}
	mod=true;
}

it still do not work, it gets replaced, my friend helped me do a 2dimensional array and it worked but i am having trouble learning how it works.

what exactly do you want to do?

if you take a look at my code(not yet completed but compilable)
at Paste #128981 | LodgeIt!

and run it, when you choose choice 1, it asks to create a stock portfolio, you create 1 stock and then it returns back to the menu,so you choose choice 1 again and create ANOTHER stock after filling in the stuffs it goes back to menu, then you choose choice 2 to show the stocks you have bought, however it only shows 1 stock when actually we have already created 2 stock.because the newly created stock overwrites the older stock

i solved it thanks for help helloworld
