I have a lottery game where I am trying to determine the amount of lines the users has entered.E.G They enter 4, they receive 4 sets of 5 random numbers. I am trying to use a do while loop but do not know where to enter the variable in the loop?
public static void EuroDraw()
{
Console.WriteLine("How many lines do you wish to purchase (minimum 1):");
int euroLines = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
do
{
int[] EuroMillions = new int[5];
Random EuroNumbers = new Random();
for (int i = 0; i < EuroMillions.Length; i )
{
EuroMillions[i] = EuroNumbers.Next(1, 50);
}
Array.Sort(EuroMillions);
Console.WriteLine("Your Euro Millions Numbers are:");
for (int i = 0; i < EuroMillions.Length; i )
Console.WriteLine(EuroMillions[i]);
} while (euroLines <= euroLines);
Console.ReadLine();
I have tried entering the while condition where the variable needs to equal the varialbe as seen above but it ends in a never ending loop.Any help much appreciated
CodePudding user response:
while (euroLines <= euroLines);
(do you see it yourself?)
...
hint: a variable is always equal to itself, so this never becomes false
--> infinite loop
So you need another variable which is increasing in the loop:
int euroLines = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
int currentLine = 1; // <-- this
do
{
// ...
} while ( currentLine <= euroLines);
