Thread: For Loop Help

Hi
I been trying to figure out this problem for last few days but cannot find the answer.
I am trying to use nested for loops to try and create a 6 character string using letters/numbers from a array. I need it so that it starts off with one character and then adds one more etc.

Example is
a
b
..z
then
aa
ab
ac
...az

or even

a
z
aa
ba
za etc

here is my code so far

char[] letters = { 
          'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r',
         's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z', '0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9',
      };
      boolean found = false;
      char[] guess = new char[7];
      int pos = 0, i = 0;
      String word;
 
  // while (found == false) {
        loop:
 
            for (int a = 0; a<36; a++){
 
            guess[5] = letters[i]; 
 
             for (int b = 0; b<36; b++){ 
 
              guess[4] = letters[i]; 
 
                 for (int c = 0; c<36; c++){ 
 
                        guess[3] = letters[i]; 
 
                 for (int d = 0; d<36; d++){
 
                         guess[2] = letters[i]; 
 
                        for (int e = 0; e<36; e++){
 
                            guess[1] = letters[e]; 
 
                            for (int f = 0; f<36; f++){ 
 
   guess[0] = letters[f]; 
 
     word = String.valueOf(guess);

thanks

I'm not sure where you are going with this code, and I suspect you don't have much experience with for loops. I recommend reading:

The for Statement (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Language Basics)

It explains the concept of for loops very well. The examples alone should give you a decent explanation.
