Thread: problems with loop

Hi i juste want to know why this loop only executate 1 times instead of infinite(that's what i want)



while (answer<1||answer>5);{
System.out.println("Votre choix est invalide");
System.out.println("Veuillez Choisir 1 des 4 groupes alimentaires suivants: (1)Légumes et fruits , (2) Produit cérealiers , (3) Laits et Substitues , (4) Viandes et substitues :");
answer = Clavier.lireIntLn();
}

Please read the Announcement topic at the top of each sub-forum to learn how to post your code in code/highlight tags.

I assume answer = 0 the first time the loop executes. Then what happens the next time the loop condition is evaluated if the user chooses 3?

well its supposed to print invalid answer each time the answer is not 1,2,3 or 4

I asked the question poorly or you misunderstood. I'll try again.

answer = 3
while (answer<1||answer>5)

Does the while loop execute?

Oh crap! (Forgive my French.) Another thing you should do is remove the semi-colon from the end of the while loop statement.

Its executing but incorrectly , its says invalid choice even if its one of the right answer, and then he asks again , then stops

I don't know how to point you to the problem any more specifically:

CHECK THE LOGIC OF THE WHILE CONDITION FOR answer = 1 - 4! (Yes, I'm shouting.)
