check point
Jun 14th, 2007, 4:13pm  
hi there,

I have an integer variable named s that I use it as index for the calling of an object stored within a Java Vector class named a. I then assign a random integer value restrained from the size of the Vector.

int s = int(random(-0.9,a.size()-0.1));

then I have another integer variable named n that is assigned to the return int value of a function that depends on one of the attributes of the object called.  

int n = nextype( ((Vec)availiable.elementAt(s)).b );

for some values of s the return value of the nextype function mean that the program should look for another object within the a Vector.

Is there a way to check for the value of n, and if I don't like it to re-execute the program from the int s random assignment?

use a while loop:
http://processing.org/reference/while.html

Code:
boolean found = false;
while (!found) {
  // grab random number
  // .. code here ..

  // check if it's good
  if (randonNumber == good) {
    found = true;
  }
}


or do..while:

Code:
boolean found;
do {
  // grab random number
  // .. code here ..

  // check if it's good
  if (randonNumber == good) {
    found = true;
  }
} while (!found);
