My Loop Is Not Running

Question

When I run this code for a Project Euler problem(39) it doesn't run the last loop, it just skips it. I had a similar issue with the nested loops beforehand, but I managed to fix those...somehow. I want to simplify my code, but I need it to work first.

I tried if(true){} and for some reason, that may have helped. I didn't remove it because I wanted to keep it as close to what I have running as possible.

thanks. i had a bad habit of using == instead of <= ect because a friend played a prank on me. annoyed the crap out of me. made me not ues <= as much.

thanks again

Answer 1

First::

int[] right = new int[1010](); // The brackets here will 
                               //initialize the memory to 0

Second::

// No need for this, as the memory is already initialized to 0
// Changed i == 1009 to i <= 1009
for(i = 0; i <= 1009; i++ )
{
 right[i] = 0;
}

Third::

// Changed s == 999 to s <= 999
for(; s <= 999; s++ )
{
}
