The For Loop

There are two types of for loops in Java. Your traditional loop:




for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {

}


Or the advanced loop that will loop through items in say an array:




for (String s : stringArray) {

}


Let's go through both of these examples and see what comes of it.



First, let's create a String Array for the loops to process.




String[] strArray = {"one", "two", "three"};


Simple enough. Just an array containing three values of one, two and three.



With the traditional for loop, you would loop through the array like this:




for (int i = 0; i < strArray.length; i++) {
System.out.println(strArray[i]);
}


As you might have guessed, it outputs the three values:




One
Two
Three


Now, let's do the same thing, but using the other for loop. Sometimes this loop is called a For Each loop.




for (String s : strArray) {
System.out.println(s);
}


Again we get the three values:




One
Two
Three


I prefer the new method myself. It comes in handy. But there are times that you'll want to use the traditional for loop, (for example if you want to run through a Multidensional Array).



Happy Coding!

Suicidal Ideation

 Over the years I've had to deal with suicidal ideation. Those are thoughts of being dead, some more extreme than others. It causes issues for me a lot of the time. It's not an easy thing to talk about at all. Here's what it is: Suicidal ideation ( suicidal thoughts )  are thoughts or ideas centered around death or suicide . Experiencing suicidal ideation doesn’t mean you’re going to kill yourself, but it can be a warning sign.

An Opposition In All Things

Long has been the story told about how there must be an opposition in all things. From the pre-existence there was Satan, Lucifer the Son of the Morning. In the beginning we were with God in his presence. We learned all we could while there. Until the moment we couldn’t progress any more, we were unable to become like God. So, we were given the opportunity to come to Earth to gain a body. A Savior would be provided to atone for our sins enabling us to come back to the presence of God. The idea that an opposition must be in all things comes from 2nd Nephi: For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither...

Temptation Bible vs Book of Mormon

In the Bible in 1 Corinthians 10:13 we find: There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able ; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. But what might seem as a contradiction is found in Alma 13:28 But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear , and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering; So, which is it? Either God tempts you to a point and stops, or you have to actively pray not to be tempted beyond that no return point. Which is it?
