how to do go to loop in processing...

bpk

for example if my condition doesnot satisfies I have to repeat the execution of certain steps gain can any one please tell me how to do that..

GoToLoop

Keyword goto was purposefully not implemented in Java!
If your intention is restart a loop, just modify its iterator to some starting value!

TfGuy44

while( !condition ){
  steps;
}

or a do-while loop might suit you better than a while loop - it checks the condition after executing once, not before like tfguy's post. subtle difference.

and both break and continue can use labels if that's what you need. (hard to quite tell from your question)

this is a simple program

int i = 0; 

while (i<5) 
{
  println ("not there with i being " + i);
  i++;
}
println ("---NOW there with i being " + i + "----");

remember that the function draw() in itself loops automatically - so we can also use this loop and just use a variable with if:

boolean hasTheUserPressedAKey = false; 

void setup () {
  //
}

void draw () {
  if (hasTheUserPressedAKey == false) {
    println ("not there");
  } // if 
  else {
    println (" ---  there --- ");
  } // else
}

void keyPressed() {
  // is called automatically when user hits a key
  hasTheUserPressedAKey = true;
}
//
