While-loop condition not working as it should

[Claryn]

Hi.

 

I am making a small card game. My cards are stored in File[] whiteCard. 

I have another boolean[] deckWhiteCards that is supposed to check if the card you are trying to deal is in the deck. 

 

This is how I have done this:
 

        int i;        {            i = (int) ((Math.random() * (whiteCards.length-1)) +1);        }        while (deckWhiteCards[i] == true)                    deckWhiteCards[i] = true;

However, players still receive duplicate cards. 

I have been staring at this while-loop for some time now, and I can't see why this shouldn't work.

 

 

Thanks.

The while must be above the {} or you need to use the "do while" command.

Of course! Added the do, and now it works. How stupid of me to forget that.

I hardly ever use this type of loops.
