Why does this PHP function cycle endlessly?
cycle, php
Solution
Other than the `=` to `==` you were also resetting the `$Recurring` in the wrong place:
<?
function nonrecgen($min, $max, $amount)
{
for($i=0;$i<$amount;$i++)
{
$NrArray[$i] = rand($min,$max);
do
{
for($j=0;$j<=$i;$j++)
{
if ($NrArray[$j] == $NrArray[$i])
{
$NrArray[$i] = rand($min,$max);
}
}
if ($i > 0)
{
for($k=0;$k<=$i;$k++)
{
if ($NrArray[$k] == $NrArray[$i])
{
$Reccuring = true;
}
}
}
$Reccuring = false;
}
while ($Reccuring == true);
}
return $NrArray;
}
$Test = nonrecgen(0,2,5);
echo "<pre>";
print_r($Test);
?>
Problem
``` function nonrecgen($min, $max, $amount) { for($i=0;$i<$amount;$i++) { $NrArray[$i] = rand($min,$max); echo $NrArray[$i]; do { for($j=0;$j<=$i;$j++) { if ($NrArray[$j] == $NrArray[$i]) { $NrArray[$i] = rand($min,$max); } } $Reccuring = false; if ($i > 0) { for($k=0;$k<=$i;$k++) { if ($NrArray[$k] == $NrArray[$i]) { $Reccuring = true; } } } } while ($Reccuring = true); } Return $NrArray; } $Test = nonrecgen(0,1,2); print_r($Test); ``` I wanted to look into how to generate an array of nonreccuring numbers and while this is certainly not the most efficient way I believe, I can't seem to figure out why it loops endlessly on the first iteration. I tried logical analysis over and over, but there has to be something I'm missing.
