Strange FOR loops behavior

Hello,
Given this code...
quote:
for (var i:uint = 0; i < 10; i++)
Alert.show(i.toString());
The alert box counts down from 9 -- shouldn't it start
counting up from 0?? Why does it appear that loops are going in
reverse?
Thanks,
Tom

When an alert box is displayed, it does not stop the code
execution, so all 10 of the alert boxes are displayed but are
stacked on top of each other so you only actually see the last box,
9, on top. You can check that the loop is not going in reverse by
adding a trace(i). This will output the correct order: 0,1,2,3...

Strange System.out.print behavior inside a for loop

I'm trying to create a simple ASCII progress bar in the console that would display like this:
|--------------------------------------------|
============================More equal signs would appear as time goes on. At least this is what I want to happen.
Instead, what happens is, none of the equal signs are printed until the very end, after the for loop in which the System.out.print("=") statement is in, has exited.
This is my code (probably more than necessary is shown, but the important part is the for loop):
    public void addSomeDiffys(int numOfDiffys, int minInt, int maxInt) {
        Diffy currentDiffy;
        System.out.println("\nCreating Diffys.");
        System.out.println("|--------------------------------------------|");
        for (int i=0; i < numOfDiffys; i++) {
            currentDiffy = new Diffy(minInt, maxInt);
            if ((i/(double)numOfDiffys)*100 % 2 == 0)
                System.out.print("=");
            diffyList.add(currentDiffy);
        System.out.println("\n" + diffyList.size() + " Diffys created.\n");
        System.out.println("Sorting according to highest rating...");
        Collections.sort(diffyList,Diffy.HIGHEST_RATING_ORDER);
        System.out.println("Done.\n");
    }I also tried changing the System.out.print("="); to System.out.println("="); This time it works as expected, its just not very pretty...
I get something like this:
|--------------------------------------------|

=So again, when I use println, rather than print, the equal signs are printed over time, slowly, as the progress increases. When using print, Nothing happens for a long time, and then suddenly they all appear after the for loop has terminated, which makes no sense.
Thanks for any help.

When using print, Nothing happens
for a long time, and then suddenly they all appear
after the for loop has terminated, which makes no
sense.
Yes it does make sense! The characters are buffered inside the PrintStream and written when there is a full line to write. You could try a flush() after each = is written but I have no confidence that it will make any difference.

How do i configure a FOR loop to have the behavior of the step Loop Type: Pass/Fail count?

Hello,
I'm using the Pass/Fail count set to one Pass to capture an event generated by my DUT. I originally used a numerical compare step with the Looping type of Pass/Fail count to accomplish this. Unfortunately the implementation changed and now I need to execute a few steps that can not be combined within one code module as before. Nor can these steps be put into a subroutine. One of the steps executes a .NET asembly and I haven't figured out how to pass the reference to the subroutine. When the subroutine is intered the reference is lost and the methode does not execute correctly.
I have an evaluation function the exits the loop when the expected conditions are met. Everything works except for the Overall Pass/Fail result of the For loop. If the loop exits due to the first numerical compare test passing, I want the loop overall execution to report as "Passed". If the loop reaches it's predetermined number of iterations, the overall result needs to report as "Failed". It would also be nice to have the radio button functionality of "Record Result of Each iteration". Some conditions require a wait over a minute for the event to occur and I don't want to generate needless data for the report.
Currently I get the pass/fail status for each For loop iteration, but only "Done" for each loop iteration. I don't want the initial few failures to cause the test to fail.
Does anyone know how to do this? Suggestions?
Thanks,

I have 2 steps in the loop that can not be combined into one step. This forces me to implement the behavior in some form of loop. A While Loop could be an option. I would need to pass the Step.Result.Status from the Multiple Numerical compaire step to the condition of the While Loop. I tried to use the Step.TS.ID without success. Some form of reference to the numerical compare step would be needed. I'm using a For Loop as I do want to limit the number of iterations of the loop. In the case where the loop iterations are reached, the event I am trying to detect did not occur at the correct time and a failure needs to be reported.
I came up with something based on my comments in the second post:
1) To start with I configured a Locals.ForLoop_5 variable. This is used to set the limit on the loop iterations and for comparison after the loop has finished executing. More on that later.
2) The first step inside the loop invokes a method within a .NET assembly that has been packed in a DLL This method gets the required data from the DUT and stores it to a text file.
3) The next step is the Multiple Numeric Limit step. This step invokes a VI that extracts the data from the text file. This step has been customized in several ways.
i) In Run Options, the Results Recording Option was disabled. This prevents recording of "Failed" while the loop executes when waiting for the event to happen.
ii) In Run Options, the Step Failure Causes Sequence Failure is unchecked. Same reasoning as i) These steps are not true failures.
iii) A Post Action is configured to go to the nexxt step after the For Loop End step On Condition True with the logic of Step.Result.Status == "Passed". This causes the loop to exit when the first "Passed" is encountered which corrolates with the event I'm trying to detect. On Conditon Fail remains set to default.
4) The step after the For Loop End is an expression step with everythin set to default except for the Status Expression logic set to: Locals.Loopindex < Locals.ForLoop_5 ? (Step.Result.Status = "Passed") : (Step.Result.Status = "Failed"). This step performs the overall Pass/Fail reporting for the For Loop. If the number of loop iterations is less than the maximum it could have only gotten there by the previous logic triggered by the numerical compare passing, therefore "Passed". If the loop index has reached the limit, then the event was not detected, therefore Failed.
I have tested this work around with success, it just a pain to now have to implement this on my 40 some odd For Loops.
If there is a better way, I'd still like to hear it.

For loop in new format

Hi
I am working on some project and am encountring for loop in some strange format. Can anyway help me with understanding this format of for loop.
this is something like:
for(Case q: cases)
can you simplify of map this to simple format of loop.
Thanks

This was introduced in JDK 1.5. Read the release notes for that to find out about this loop structure.
Basically it's a way to quickly loop, using iterators implicitly if the thing to the right of the colon is a Collection.

I have finally been able to replicate the behavior that you are seeing on another computer once the image was large enough. Here are a few notes about this behavior:
First. The UI only slows down when the images are large, 16 bit images. The reason why this is unique to 16 bit images is that they can only be displayed on the front panel as 8 bit images. The workaround that Weiyuan suggested to change the 16 bit display mapping hints towards the root of the problem...that any time a mouse runs over the indicator, Windows asks the entire image to re-draw (having a separate indicator overlapping the image will create the same behavior). With a 16 bit image, not only does the image have to re-draw on the screen but the 16 bit pixels need to be mapped to 8 bits. When setting the 16 bit display mapping to Full Dynamic, this requires mor computation/pixel than 90% dynamic or one of the other mapping schemes.
This is expected behavior if your program is running and you're trying to display a large 16 bit image. To fix this behavior there are a couple options:
Change the 16 bit display mapping to something other than full dynamic. You can choose which 8 bits to display or if you want to map the bits.
Resize the image just for viewing purposes on your front panel (since you aren't going to view every single pixel of you image on the screen). You can use the IMAQ Resample.vi to do this. This will allow you to take your 1500x1500 pixel image and only display a 500x500 pixel version.
If you are interested in viewing small details of the large image, consider just displaying a smaller region of interest at a time.
Let me know if any of these solutions work for you. Good luck on your application.

1D Array Of String To For-Loop

Hi fellow engineers,
I'm new to LabVIEW.
I got a question,
If I got a 1D array of string and I want to loop my program to the same number of times (Iteration) in conjunction with the numbers of sub-folders generated by the "list folder" function. How can I do it?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Solved!

Wire the string array to the border of the for loop. LabVIEW will automatically iterate through each element of the array; you should not wire anything to the N terminal of the for loop. This is the default behavior for arrays entering a loop; if you do not want auto-indexing, right-click on the tunnel (where the array enters the loop) to change the behavior.

Weird problem with loading data from an XML using a for loop

Hi,
I have a strange problem. I have encountered this thing many a times but still don't know the proper workaround for it.
I am trying to load swf file, a video file or an image. They can be present on a local system or on a remote server also. All the entries corresponding to the files to be loaded is made in an XML file. I traverse through the nodes of the XML using a for loop. On the complete event of loader info, example:.
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
I fill a container with the loaded data.
My problem is when I am using for loop it doesn't works properly but if i use a statement like this:
someFunc()
     if(i<arr.length())
     ... do something...
     loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
private function onComplete(e:Event):void
... do something...
i++;
All files are loaded properly.
I think this can be because the for loop processes pretty fast but the content takes time to load, which ultimately leads to some wierd results.
Please let me know how can this thing be done correctly by using a for loop also.

You don't want to use a for loop to load several items. The way you almost appear to have it is the proper approach... load a file and use the completion of its loading to trigger loading the next file.

Strange Navigation Bar Behavior

Hi, I'm currently designing a web page for non-profit
government organization.
Unfortunately, I'm running into some strange behavioral
problems with the navigation bar.
The tabs in my navigation bar run from left to right. As the
links are visited through the navigation bar, the links to the left
of which ever link is active stop working. I can't for the life of
me figure out why!
The pages are arranged in such a way that each page involves
three html files. One body file, one navigation bar file with it's
respective tab hilighted, and a little file that simply loads the
two, one on top of the other. The tabs in the navigation bar are
linked to the file that then loads the body and navigation(of
course). Clicking on a tab to the right of the active tab loads
everything perfectly. However, if the active tab is the right-most
tab, the tabs to the left no longer work properly. They seem to
reload the navigation bar, but the body gets left behind and the
URL still appears to be that of the right-most tab.
Here is an example of my site in progress:
Site in
Progress
By going through the four tabs at the top, you can quickly
see things are going wrong.
The drop-down menu can be used to access the same pages that
the navigation bar refuses to load.
If you could please take a look at the site and reply with
any comments or suggestions as to what might be going wrong or what
I could do to fix it, I would be very grateful.
Note that I previously read something about strange
navigation bar behavior being caused by image names beginning with
numbers. This isn't what's happening here as my image names are all
"image 1" etc.
Also note that I'm using dreamweaver8
Thank you in advance for your help.

Well thanks for the suggestion, but that's not actually the
problem I'm having.
The newsletter link along with all that other stuff on the
left hand side is just stuff I havn't gotten to yet.
The problem I'm having is with the navigation tabs at the TOP
of the page(policies, forms, info and M.R.)! I know the links for
those tabs are correct, because I can see from hovering over the
tabs that they're pointing in the right direction, and if it's the
policies page(leftmost tab at the top) I'm on, all the tabs to the
right work perfectly. The problem is that when I'm on any other
page (such as the M.R. page which is the rightmost tab), all the
tabs to the left of it mysteriously stop working!
As I said, just quickly click back and forth through the four
tabs at the top of the page and you'll see what the problem is. In
fact, completely ignore everything that isn't those four tabs at
the top of the page, because everything else is unfinished.
Please help! Thanks!

Conditionally Indexed For Loop Terminal

Dear LabVIEW community!
Most of you, I’m sure, know and use in LabVIEW 2012 such useful and helpful feature as conditional terminal in For Loop (see it on the picture below).
But if one saves such code in previous versions of LabVIEW, then we see, that code has different look (VI Snippet was made in LV 2012, so don’t be confused – it is really code in LV 2011).
The same algorithm is made by using case structure and shift register. But the problem is that this shift register is uninitialized (1) (we have some constant (2) on the block diagram after saving file in previous version, but it is wrong constant for our case), and you know, that it can cause unexpected behavior of the program. So, if you have to convert such a code to previous versions of LabVIEW, don’t forget to check it, and initialize that shift registers.
Solved!

Wow! I had no idea this little "conditional terminal" existed. I've been doing Example B all this time, and it sometimes really causes my BDs to elongate. I don't know about you, but my programming always to contain the best examples of "The drawing will fill the space available - and then some." Now, I'll get to stick in one or two more bits before I hit the right-hand wall. Thanks.

Zero iteration for loop

Hi folks,
There's an old behavior that I'm pretty used to, but it still occasionally bites me (usually with references). It happened again today, and it got me to wondering if it's really intended behavior.
If you pass a value into a zero iteration for loop, then send it out the other side, the value exiting the for loop is returned to default, not the value you fed in (see simple.vi, LV7.1).
Any ideas?
Joe Z.

This is expected behavior...the workaround is to use shift registers to pass the value through instead of tunnels. I believe this is discussed in the LabVIEW Help.

How can I repeat a for loop, once it's terms has been fulfilled???

Well.. I've posted 2 different exceptions about this game today, but I managed to fix them all by myself, but now I'm facing another problem, which is NOT an error, but just a regular question.. HOW CAN I REPEAT A FOR LOOP ONCE IT HAS FULFILLED IT'S TERMS OF RUNNING?!
I've been trying many different things, AND, the 'continue' statement too, and I honestly think that what it takes IS a continue statement, BUT I don't know how to use it so that it does what I want it too.. -.-'
Anyway.. Enought chit-chat. I have a nice functional game running that maximum allows 3 apples in the air in the same time.. But now my question is: How can I make it create 3 more appels once the 3 first onces has either been catched or fallen out the screen..?

Getting the label of a JButton in a for loop

hi,
I doing a project for my course at the minute and im in need of a bit of help. I have set up 1-d array of buttons and i have layed them out using a for loop. I have also added an annoymous action listener to each button in the loop. It looks something lke this:
b = new JButton[43];
for (int i=1; i<43; i++)
b[i] = new JButton(" ");
b.addActionListener(
new ActionListener()
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
          System.out.println("..........");
}); // addActionListener
} // for
I want the "System.out.println( ..." line, to print out the "i" number of the button that was pressed but i cannot figure out how to do it. I cannot put "System.out.println(" "+i);" as it wont recognise i as it is not inside the for loop. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!!

class ButtonExample extends JFrame implements ActionListener{The OP wanted to have anonymous listeners, not a subclassed JFrame
listening to the buttons. I don't know if the following is the best design,
since the poster has revealed so little, but here is how to pass the
loop index to an anonymous class.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ButtonExample {
    private JButton[] buttons = new JButton[24];
    public JPanel createGUI() {
        JPanel gui = new JPanel(new GridLayout(6, 4));
        for(int i=0; i<buttons.length; i++) {
            final int ii = i; //!! !
            buttons[i] = new JButton("button #" + i);
            buttons.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
System.out.println("number " + ii);
gui.add(buttons[i]);
return gui;
public static void main(String[] args) {
ButtonExample app = new ButtonExample();
JPanel gui = app.createGUI();
JFrame f = new JFrame("ButtonExample");
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
f.getContentPane().add(gui);
f.pack();
f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
f.setVisible(true);

How to pass the sequence number of current loop in a for loop in FPGA vi to the host

PCI-7830R
LV 8.2
What I was trying to do is to use multiple DIO to generate pulse at different sequence. Mode one is to automatically sweep from DIO1 to DIO20; mode 2 is several DIOs generate pulse simoutaneously. So I use a case structure to make the selection, in the mean time, I set up two for loop in each case so that I can use multiple pulse generations. For example, in scanning mode, if I set 2 exposures, it sweeps from 1 to 20 then do it again.
Then I need to get the loop sequence number, i of each scenario. So I put an indicator within the first loop, and create a local variable of it and put in the second one. Running the FPGA vi alone, I can see the indicator change in each case from 0 to N-1, N being the for loop time.But in the host vi, I tried to add this indicator as an element in the read/write invoke method, in the debugging mode, I could only see it directly jump to N-1 without all the changes I saw in FPGA vi.
Is it possible to get this number passed correctly from FPGA vi to the host vi? Thanks

Thanks for the reply Jared.
Excuse me if it looks incorrect, but I'm new to FPGA programming, so I would have to look into the FIFO you referred to. I used local variables because for one thing I have several different cases containing for loop in each of them, and I only want one indicator for the "i". If I put the indicator out of any for loop, it's only gonna show the last number which is N-1. For the other thing, it seems like property nodes are not allowed in FPGA vi. And by doing this, I can see the i number changing from 0 to N-1 in each case, well, in FPGA vi's front panel. But while I ran the host vi with everything, the indicator in host vi's front panel only showed the last number N-1. It may be the reason you said, it happened too fast before the indicator in host vi can catch it.
What I want to realize is to group the data I collect in host vi, for example, when I choose multiple exposure in each mode, and the FPGA runs 1 through 20 then do it again, I want the data stored in two groups using the loop sequence number as the seperator in file name. So it goes like 1-1, 2-1.......20-1; then 1-2, 2-2,.....20-2.

How do we use if statement in labview?moreover can i use if statement inside for loop?

how do we use if statement in labview?moreover can i use if statement inside for loop?

The if statement in LabVIEW is the Case structure. You can find that on the Structures palette right next to the For Loop. If you're still on the same subject about terminating a for loop early, then what you do is enclose your functions inside the loop with a case statment and make one of the case's empty except for one or more constants that you might have to wire. Hopefully, the attached picture will explain what I mean. Also, as I mentioned in one of your other posts, I think this technique is not as good as using a while loop. The array in the attached example is the same size no matter what and you may have to handle stripping extra or invalid elements.

Select statement in a for loop

Hi all,
Can a select stmt be used in the body of the for loop/ nested for loop ?
I tries using (even if its very simple for loop) it gives the following error

Yes.... but with an INTO part.....
