can anyone clear my doubt ?
What is the issue with it?
For example lets say user guess is 3 and we have an array where startup location is placed at [2,3,4] the first time` the userguess (3) is not equals to 2 and hence the outer else block will be executed which will return miss ? Even though 3 is present in the second element of the array ?
at first iteration when 3 != 2 return miss will be executed which is wrong
because 3 will be equals to 3 in the seccond iteration
Isn't the algo wrong ?
yeah I think that part should be outside of the REPEAT (and doesn't need an ELSE)
setlocation cells is the setter method btw
shouldn't it be like this ?
Isn't that what I just said?
after the repeat
yes. Kinda hard for me to believe there are mistakes in the head first java book
so weird
I haven't read it
maybe you have an old version of it?
I have the latest one 3rd edition
Actually this was the extract I was reading from the book. I made it shorter so that you don't have to read to much :-
