Message:

break statements

Posted by David Lowe on September 28, 2000 at 10:53 PM

If I wanted to place break statements instead of the found variable in the following code, where in the code do I place it and what do I type and what do I delete to make this program work. The output right now is dots going through the screen and then it says Done verification. The output should still be the same but with break statements in the code. Thanks.
public class BreakIt

public class BreakIt
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{
// loop and verify that the values are the same

for (int n = 0; n < 2000; n++)
{
if (f(n) != g(n) )
{
System.out.println("Values differ at index: " + n);
}
if (n % 100 == 0)
{
System.out.print("."); // progress dot
}
}

System.out.println("Done Verification.");
}

/* Some strange method */
static int f(int i)
{
int result = i;
boolean found = false;

for (int j = 3; !found && j < 1000; j = j + 3)
{

for (int k = 5; !found && k < 1000; k = k + 5)
{
if (j * k == i)
{
result = k;
found = true;
}
}

if (i == j)
{
found = true;
}
}

if (i % 3 == result)
{
result++;
}
else
{
result += 5;
}
return result;
}

static int g(int i)
{
int result = i;
boolean found = false;

for (int j = 3; !found && j < 1000; j = j + 3)
{

for (int k = 5; !found && k < 1000; k = k + 5)
{
if (j * k == i)
{
result = k;
found = true;
}
}

if (i == j)
{
found = true;
}
}

if (i % 3 == result)
{
result++;
}
else
{
result += 5;
}
return result;
}

}
