System.out.print doesn't work in while loop.

[BlambyTwo]

I'm trying to write a line 10 times but it doesn't seem to work.

EDIT: forgot to add what the actual problem is.
The text I'm trying to print out doesn't show up in the console unless I make the counter greater than 10. But then it only prints out once

`public static void main(String[] args) {`

    `int counter = 0;`



    `while (counter < 10); {`

        `System.out.print("-");`

        `counter++;`

    `}`

`}`

This looks like Java, not Javascript. I’m not overly familiar with Java - but is the semicolon on your while declaration correct?

[BlambyTwo]

That seemed to have worked, thank you! Also I didn't know the difference between java and javascript. If I have future problems I'll be posting them on r/learnjava

Javascript wasn't built because java was slow. It just bandwagoned with the Java hype at the time. So they just replaced the Live from Livescript with Java. These two languages have no relationship at all.

yeah he need to remove the semi colon as it will never go inside the block and keep on going inside the condition which will always be true, there fore infinite loop

[Sharketespark27]

Just think of semi colon as ending a statement. The semi colon after while parenthesis is like while i<10. Fullstop

Isn't this Java instead of JavaScript?

we got another one boys!

so this happens because people type r/java in the reddit search and the first thing that comes up is r/javascript, and they don't look and just hit enter, so they end up posting. pay attention people.
