Feb 22nd, 2010, 5:22am  
Hello i found a code, and there is a line in the code i havent seen before, can anybody tell me what does it means?

here is the line:
for(int i = 0 , b = 1 + int(random(wordLength)); i < b ; i++){


and here is all the code

Code:


String[] myLetters = { "a", "b","c","d","e","f", "g","h","i","j", "k", "l","m","n","o","p", "q","r","s","t" };
String word;
int wordLength = 244;

void Setup(){
size(200,200);
}
void draw(){
}

void mousePressed(){
word = "";
for(int i = 0 , b = 1 + int(random(wordLength)); i < b ; i++){
word=word+myLetters[int(random(myLetters.length))];
}
println(" " + word);
}

It's the same as :
Code:
int b = 1 + int(random(wordLength);
for(int i = 0; i < b ; i++) {
  ...
}


or

Code:
int b = 1 + int(random(wordLength);
int i = 0;
while(i < b) {
  ...
  i++;
}
