Hello.
I have written a function to calculate the length of a string, it gives the wrong length can you help me fix the codes?
public int GetStringLength(String z)
{
int y = 1;
int x = 0;
while (1 > 0)
{
try
{
char m = z.charAt(y);
x = x + 1;
y = y + 1;
}
catch (Exception fini)
{
return x;
}
}
}
Hi, do you know that exists a class method to calculate the lenght of a string?
@Op.
Remove x, and return y -1, move the try catch out of the loop, and return after the catch block.
(Do also change from while (1 > 0) to while (true), it's easier to understand))

Firstly, there is already a String.length function available - so there is no need fo this function.
Secondly, you are initlizaing x to 0 and y to 1. charAt expects a zero based index into the string. I hope that should be fine to tell you where the problem is.
HTH.

Method. We call them "methods".

Maybe we shouldn't. Calling them functions would turn Java into a functional programming language, which is sure to apease some of the people who want to turn Java into something else by adding all kinds of nonsense "features" :)

Huh? Hope you're joking.

Now that's what I call scratching ones belly by wrapping one's arm around one's backside until reaching the belly.
