    Default Get out of loop to finish program?

    This program is supposed to make 10 unique #s in an array, it outputs correctly, but it is stuck in the while loop. hHow can I get out?


    import java.util.Random;

    public class Extra {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

    // Variables
    int rand;
    int [] unique = new int [11];
    boolean [] check = new boolean [11];
    Random generator = new Random();

    // Welcome
    System.out.print("Here are your ten unique array values: ");

    // Set Arrays
    for(int counti = 0; counti < unique.length; counti++) {
    check[counti] = false;
    }

    // Set Array
    for(int count = 0; count < unique.length; count++) {
    if(check[unique[count]] == false){
    check[unique[count]] = true;
    System.out.print(unique[count] + " ");
    }
    else{
    while(check[unique[count]] == true) {
    unique[count] = generator.nextInt(10) + 1;
    if(check[unique[count]] == false){
    check[unique[count]] = true;
    System.out.print(unique[count] + " ");
    }
    if(count > 2){
    break;
    }
    }
    }
    }
    }

    while (check[unique[count]] == true) {
                        System.out.println("check[unique[count]] " +check[unique[count]] );
                        System.out.println("in while " + number);
                        unique[count] = generator.nextInt(10) + 1;
                        if (check[unique[count]] == false) {
                            check[unique[count]] = true;
                            System.out.print(unique[count] + " ");
                        }
                        if (count > 2) {
                            break;
                        }
                        number++;
                    }

    when do you set your check to false?

    add some print out lines like above...

    this is what the output turns to be:
    Here are your ten unique array values: 103127check[unique[count]] true
    in while 0
    9 check[unique[count]] true
    in while 0
    check[unique[count]] true
    in while 0
    8 check[unique[count]] true
    in while 0
    check[unique[count]] true
    in while 0
    4
    Process completed.




    and my check is set in the for loop :

    for(int counti = 0; counti < unique.length; counti++) {
    check[counti] = false;
    }

    check[unique[count]] true
    in while 0
    it is here that your problem is. you never set your check to false in your while loop to drop out.

    you can use a different while loop or not use it at all.

    put your display loop after your for loop set Array and you may see different results.


    after reworking your code (re-arranged)
    here is my results

    Here are your ten unique array values: 0 0 4 2 7 1 1 6 3 4 6 6
