Can't seem to figure out why my loop wont progress
I can't seem to figure out why my for loop is not working. I have been on the for about an hour now and the closest I have come is this. I'm trying to find out how many McNuggets you can buy using the 6, 9, and 20 packs. All I need dopeChecker(x) to do is return a true or a false. I haven't implemented check the next number yet because it wont even find that a 6 pack can be bought yet. I know it's in the loop somewhere but I just can't find out where. This is form the MIT open course ware problem 2. I don't know if you guys have seen it but I'm just letting you know this is where I'm getting my info.
int x = 0, y = 0, z = 0;// These will the the pack of McNuggets that we can buy.
int testFor = 0; //This will be the number of McNuggets we are looking for.
int matches = 0; //This will be the number of consecutive matches we will be looking for.
public void dopeEquation(){
while (matches < 6){//It's 6 Because that is the smallest order of nuggets we can buy.
//Looking for smaller nuggets then we can buy would not make sense.
while (testFor < 6){
testFor++;
}
if (dopeChecker(testFor)){
matches++;
} else{
matches = 0;
System.out.println(x + "," + y +"," + z +"," + testFor + "," + matches);
}
}
}
private boolean dopeChecker(int testFor){
for ( x = 0 ; x*6 <= testFor; x++){
for ( y = 0 ; y*9 <= testFor; y++){
for (z = 0 ; z*20 <= testFor;){
System.out.println(x + "," + y +"," + z +"," + testFor + "," + matches);
if (x*6 + y*9 + z*20 == testFor){
matches++;

The z variable is always 0, you're not changing it.
Your code goes inside the first while loop:
while (matches < 6){
Then increased testFor to 6 with the following code:
while (testFor < 6){
testFor++;
}
Then goes to dopeChecker:
dopeChecker(int testFor)
Then insde the 3rd loop, for z:
for (z = 0 ; z*20 <= testFor;) {
...
}
z is never incremented, so you need to write this as:
for (z = 0 ; z*20 <= testFor; z++){
}
The following is the innermost for loop. I have commented where the problem is. as you can see, z
never gets implemented. therefore, the loop will never terminate, as 0 <= testFor, since TestFor >= 6.
for (z = 0 ; z*20 <= testFor;/* incrementor needed here*/){
System.out.println(x + "," + y +"," + z +"," + testFor + "," + matches);
if (x*6 + y*9 + z*20 == testFor){
matches++;
System.out.println("match");
return true;
}else{
System.out.println("no match");
}
}
