    Default Exiting array loop

    Hey there!

    I'm working on specific method (reserve a plane seat), and I have created a 2D array to represent the seats. here is the method so far to reserve a seat in economy class:

    public static void reserveEC(int x[][]){
     
     
    	for (int i=0;i<15;i++){
    		for (int j=0;j<6;j++) {
    			if (x[i][j] == 0) {
    				x[i][j] = 1;				
    			break;
    		}
    	}
    	}
    }

    The problem is, I want it to find the next available seat, and set it to 1 (which I'm going to make mean "taken").

    I keep getting the output :

    100000
    100000
    100000
    100000
    100000
    100000
    100000
    100000
    100000
    100000
    100000
    100000
    100000
    100000
    100000

    and I only want ONE seat to be set to 1 in my 15 x 6 array... any suggestions?

    The break statement will only break out of the inner loop and return to the outer loop which then continues running. If you want the method to end then replace the break with a return statement.
