    Default Run time error

    class yam
    {
    public static void findIndex()
    {
    String s="allendowlley";
    int index=0;
    int l=s.length();
    while(index<l)
    {
    index=s.indexOf('l',index);
    System.out.println(index);
    index=index+1;
    }
    }
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
    findIndex();
    }
    }
    The program keeps looping endlessly. I can't figure out why.

    Default Re: Run time error


    I was able to end the infinite loop but I'm not sure if the output is still what you're looking for. I'm still kind of new to the Java scene. I replaced the while loop with a for loop...

    class yam
    {
    public static void findIndex()
    {
    String s="allendowlley";
    int index=0;
    int l=s.length();
    for(int i = 0; i<l; i++)
    {
    index = i;
    index=s.indexOf('l',index);
    System.out.println(index);
    index=index+1;
    }
    }
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
    findIndex();
    }
    }
