Guys i would like to ask how to get rid of the "and" print on my loop
2 and 4 and <
public static void main(String[] args) {
Methods(5);
}
public static void Methods(int a){
int loops = a/2;
int even = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < loops; i++){
even+=2;
System.out.print(even+" and ");
}
}
it prints
2 and 4 and <<<
Instead i want
2 and 4 <<<
thank you. Please help me i am beginner T_T
You can do:
public static void Methods(int a){
int loops = a/2;
int even = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < loops; i++){
even+=2;
System.out.print(even);
if (i < loops - 1) {
System.out.print(" and ")
}
}
In other words: as long as i is smaller than loops - 1 (which holds during your entire loop except the last step) you would print out " and ". This ensures the last and is not printed when it goes through the loop the last time.
Test if your index is the last index you would be on, i.e. if i == loops - 1. If so, then just print even instead of even + " and ".
4. The first iteration should print 2 and , and the second iteration will print 4, yielding 2 and 4.Before entering the loop check if there is an element, print just the first element. Increment i and then for each remaining element always pre-pend " and " first.
int i = 0;
if (i < loops) {
even+=2;
System.out.print(even);
}
i++;
for(; i < loops; i++){
even+=2;
System.out.print(" and " + even);
}
This way you avoid all the checking inside the loop.
