    Smile Vector Loop Termination

    Hi all,

    I have the following code that stores x5 Floats into a Vector. Can anybody advise me on how to create a loop that will terminate if a negative number is entered?

    import java.util.*;
     
    public class acceptFloats
    {
    	public static void main(String args[])
    	{
    		Vector<Float> vec = new Vector<Float>();
    		Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
     
    		System.out.println("Please insert a float");
    		for (int i = 0; i <10; i++)
     
    		{
    			Float temp = scanner.nextFloat();
    			vec.add(temp);
    		}
     
    		System.out.println(vec.toString());
    	}
    }

    Much appreciated

    Thumbs up Re: Vector Loop Termination

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

    {
    Float temp = scanner.nextFloat();
    vec.add(temp);
    }
    if you want that when user enter any number loop will terminate without adding that number into vector.
    then check inside the loop if the number is negative break;

    for (int i = 0; i <10; i++)
    {
    Float temp = scanner.nextFloat();

    if(temp<0)
    break;
    vec.add(temp);
    }

    and if you want that number entered negative should be the last number entered in the vector.

    then check the condition like:

    intitalize
    temp =0

    for (int i = 0; i <10 && temp>=0; i++)
    Thanks and Regards
