Grounds Up Java Tutorial (Primes)

[mfocardi]

The Primes.class tutorial/example doesn't compile - there is an error at statement 32: cnt; Error generated is 'not a statement'. can anyone help? As you may guess, I am new to java. thanks.

29: while ( cnt > 0 ) {
30: if ( isPrime(sta) ) {
31: arr[idx++] = sta;
32: cnt;
33: }
34: sta++;
35: }

I beg your pardon,
Your question does not make any sense for JavaScript forum.

You can either elaborate more or please post your question in a relative(Java) forum

thanks

Java is not the same as JavaScript.

It sounds like you have an older compiler.

You cannot have a statement like "some variable name";
or nothing;

it should be something like cnt++ or cnt--; since you have to get out of the while loop, i think it should be cnt--;

hope it helps

Vamsee,
thanks very much - that helped tremendously and I can now proceed. M.
