general variabile and while loop problem

New comment
 

Good morning, everybody.

I have a problem that can't understand

int indice = 0; 
int e = 0;

void OnTick(){

        int a = 0;
	string testo = "";

        while(1>0){
                testo += "ciao \n";
   
                a++;
                indice++;
                e++;

                if (e == 1)
                        break;
                if (indice == 2)
                        break;
                if (a == 3)
                	break;   
        }
 Comment(testo);
}

the result is 3 prints. only the variable declared in the function OnTick works. 

I have this problem only with while and do-while loops. I do not have this problem with for-loops.

when i try to remove the variable "a", the loop results in infinity.

while(a<3)

you forget to reset the global value back to zero after the while condition is met

while(a<3)

 ... ok, try this

int a = 0;

void OnTick(){
   string testo = ""; 
   while(a < 3){
      testo += "ciao \n";
      a++;              
   }

why is this an infinite loop?

reset the global value back
 

I find the problem, it wasn't the while loop problem

thanks

Don't do that. Someone searching might find this thread and still be clueless. What was the problem? What solved what?
