making a loop

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hey all!

I need to check 2 statements over and over again, but I have no clue how to make a loop out of it…

[CODE]
mp5s = leftovernet / 250;
pistols = 0;
totalguns = mp5s + pistols;

if (totalguns < document.gcform.gcthugs.value) {
mp5s = mp5s – 1;
pistols = pistols +5;
if (totalguns < document.gcform.gcthugs.value) {
mp5s = mp5s – 1;
pistols = pistols +5;
if (totalguns < document.gcform.gcthugs.value) {
mp5s = mp5s – 1;
pistols = pistols +5;
if (totalguns < document.gcform.gcthugs.value) {
mp5s = mp5s – 1;
pistols = pistols +5;
if (totalguns < document.gcform.gcthugs.value) {
mp5s = mp5s – 1;
pistols = pistols +5;

// AND THIS GOES ON FOREVER 🙁

}
}
}
}
}

gcresultguns.firstChild.nodeValue = mp5s;
gcresultnet.firstChild.nodeValue = pistols;
[/CODE]

@KorApr 06.2005 — why not use a [b]while[/b] statement instead of an [b]if[/b] one ?

@Daedalus123authorApr 06.2005 — Thats what I want to do, but I can't get it to work. This is as good as I can make it, but it becomes infinite. Sorry if I was uncear about it.

[CODE]
if (document.gcform.gcradio[0].checked == true) {
var mp5s = leftovernet / 250;
var pistols = 0;
var totalguns = mp5s + pistols;
while (totalguns < document.gcform.gcthugs.value) {
mp5s = mp5s - 1;
pistols = pistols + 5;
}
gcresultguns.firstChild.nodeValue = mp5s;
gcresultnet.firstChild.nodeValue = pistols;
}
[/CODE]

@KorApr 06.2005 — try:

if (document.gcform.gcradio[0].checked == true) {

var mp5s = leftovernet / 250;

var pistols = 0;

var totalguns = mp5s + pistols;

while (totalguns < document.gcform.gcthugs.value) {

mp5s = mp5s - 1;

pistols = pistols + 5;

[color=red]totalguns = mp5s + pistols;[/color]

}

gcresultguns.firstChild.nodeValue = mp5s;

gcresultnet.firstChild.nodeValue = pistols;

}

if I well understood your intention
