list of loop objects...

[mai]

Hi,,
I'm learning Java,, and I was trying to creat a function that performs
a three-level nested loop and returns a list of loop objects indicating
progress through the loop,,but when I ran this code:

package loop;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class Loop{
public int level;
public int counter1;
public int counter2;
public int counter3;

public Loop(int level,int c1, int c2, int c3){
this.level=level;
counter1 = c1;
counter2 = c2;
counter3 = c3;
}
public static List<Loop> doLoops() {
List<Loop> result = new ArrayList<Loop>();
int cnt1=0;
int cnt2=0;
int cnt3=0;

outer: for(;{
Loop ob1;
ob1= new Loop(1, cnt1, cnt2, cnt3);
result.add(ob1);
cnt1 +=1;


middle: for(;{
Loop ob2;
ob2= new Loop(2,cnt1,cnt2,cnt3);
result.add(ob2);
cnt2+= 1;

inner : for(;{
Loop ob3;
ob3 = new Loop(3,cnt1,cnt2,cnt3);
result.add(ob3);
cnt3 +=1;

if (cnt3 % 5 == 0)
break inner;

if (cnt3 % 11 == 0)
break middle;

if (cnt3 % 14 == 0)
break outer;

}
}
}
return result;
}

public static void main(String[] argv) {
int i;
for(i=0; i< doLoops().size(); i++)

System.out.println((doLoops().get(i)));

}
}
I got the following results,,

[loop.Loop@10b62c9, loop.Loop@82ba41, loop.Loop@923e30,
loop.Loop@130c19b, loop.Loop@1f6a7b9, loop.Loop@7d772e,
loop.Loop@11b86e7, loop.Loop@35ce36, loop.Loop@757aef,
loop.Loop@d9f9c3, loop.Loop@9cab16, loop.Loop@1a46e30,
loop.Loop@3e25a5, loop.Loop@19821f, loop.Loop@addbf1, loop.Loop@42e816,
loop.Loop@9304b1, loop.Loop@190d11, loop.Loop@a90653, loop.Loop@de6ced]

Please help me,,

What results did you expect (this isn't a sarcastic or rhetorical
question -- I really don't know what it is you're trying to do)? Perhaps you
meant to override the toString() method? See

Hi,,
I'm learning Java,, and I was trying to creat a function that performs
a three-level nested loop and returns a list of loop objects indicating
progress through the loop,,but when I ran this code:

package loop;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class Loop{
public int level;
public int counter1;
public int counter2;
public int counter3;

public Loop(int level,int c1, int c2, int c3){
this.level=level;
counter1 = c1;
counter2 = c2;
counter3 = c3;
}
public static List<Loop> doLoops() {

public static void main(String[] argv) {
int i;
for(i=0; i< doLoops().size(); i++)

System.out.println((doLoops().get(i)));

That returns a reference to the i'th Loop object in the List returned by
doLoops(). If you print a reference you'll get the sort of output you
show below. Maybe you should write a toString() method for your Loop
object and then

System.out.println( doLoops().get(i).toString() );

I got the following results,,

[loop.Loop@10b62c9, loop.Loop@82ba41, loop.Loop@923e30,
loop.Loop@130c19b, loop.Loop@1f6a7b9, loop.Loop@7d772e,

Please don't add your material at the top - its better to keep things in
order.

You are still calling the Loop object toString method, without having
supplied a toString override in the Loop class. Loop's immediate
superclass is Object, so you are using the Object toString method.

You need to add to Loop a method:

public String toString(){
// build the string you want to describe your loop object.
// return it.
}

Thanx for your message,, but shouldn't doLoops().get(i) return the
element of the index i in the list,, that's what i understood from the
java doc,, and I don't know how to build the string in the toString
method :s ,, can u help me further more,, Thanx once again

Are you following a course, tutorial, or book? This exercise, in its
current form, should not appear until after you know a little string
manipulation and have seen some toString examples.

An alternative way is to forget about printing Loop objects directly,
and instead print the fields, for example doLoops().get(i).level.

doLoops().get(i) will return the element at index i. the element at
index I is a "Loop" object, not an integer.

List<Loop> doLoops; // This declares a list of loops.

List<Integer> integers; // This is a list of Integer objects.

 

[Oliver Wong]

public String toString(){
// build the string you want to describe your loop object.
// return it.
}

[...]
I don't know how to build the string in the toString
method :s ,, can u help me further more,, Thanx once again

Add the following method to your Loop object:

public String toString(){
return "Hello world!";
}

and run your program again, and observe the results. That should give you a
hint as to how to implement your toString() method.
