Need a little bit of help with java table

[Muffin123]

So i have to code a brainfuck interpreter for school. Ive made most of it work by making it go into a table and then the thing going trough it correcting the values and moving along as it should to come to an answer, the problem i have is when i come to [ and ], so how [ works is if the value of the cell where [ comes in is != 0, the program will move to the next order, but when the value of that is 0 it will need to skip a few places ahead untill it finds ] and then continue with the next step from the ].

 

Now the problem is i dont know how to write that, ive made a case statement:

case '[':    if (t[c] != 0) {    break;    } else {     //in this case it needs to find ]   }  case ']':    if (t[c] == 0) {    break;    } else {    //in this case it needs to find [    }

So what i need to put in is how to skip a few places in a table untill it finds ] and then +1 the index © of that cell to go to the next one where it should continue

If you just need to find the next ], then can't you use a loop.

For Example:

while(i != ']') {increment to next char}

Not sure how you are reading the file, and if you need to know the value in between the [ and ], I would somehow save the index values of the brackets or even save the value in a string in the while loop.

I dont need the value inbetween i just need to completely skip all the indexes untill ] and continue from the index of ] +1. Does this just jump to the next char? cuz the values inbetween are also chars, all is composed by + - < > , . and []

You could use a boolean. Set it in the switch case and at the beginning of your loop add

if (booleanVariable && character != ']') continue;

What don't you understand?

 

If you're not familiar with the branching statement continue, check this out.

 

If you're not familiar with the logical operator &&, check this out.
