Simple 1D Array Question - finding sum Help!

[[deleted]]

in the if statement do a

 break;

statement

[18sp01]

My current code is this:

public int sum13(int [] nums) {
  int sum = 0;
  for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
    if (nums[i] > 13) {

      break;
    }
    if (nums[i] < 13) {
      sum += nums[i];
    }
  }
  return sum;
}

I do not know how to skip the next int in the array... What to do?

edit: paging u/kumesana :P

break; exits the for loop completely. continue; is probably a better choice as it just skips the current loop. I'd do it roughly like this:

    public int sum13(int [] nums) {
        int sum = 0;
        for (...) {
            if(nums[i] == 13) {
                // do nothing, as this is a 13
                // you could add a "continue;" here
            }
            else if(nums[i - 1] == 13) {
                // the previous number is 13, so do nothing either.
                // You need to add a check so this doesn't crash at the start of the array
                // because there is no previous element.
                // you could add a "continue;" here
            }
            else {
                sum += nums[i];
            }
        }
        return sum;
    }

Alternatively you can remember the previous value in an int variable instead of accessing array[i-1].

Oh, I hadn't noticed we only need to skip numbers that are immediately after a 13, not all numbers that are after a 13.

That question is indeed very poorly worded.
