can someone enlighten me on this?

boolean entry=false;

for(int i=1;(!entry);i++)

{

String s = in.readLine();

int a = Integer.parseInt(s);

if(a!=1 && a!=2)

{

System.out.println("Invaild entry");

System.out.println("\n Enter '1' or '2' ");

}elseif(a==1)

{

//do something

entry=true;

}elseif(a==2)

{

//do something

entry=true;

can someone explain to be wat does the for loop in this program do?

rather confused with the boolean variable used.

does (!entry) refers to a value 'not false' which otherwise known as a 'true' value? if it does, why would the for loop exit if the entry=true?

thanks
