Stuck in an endless loop?iz

Question

I think my code should work, but it sometimes gets stuck. It's supposed to add numbers of type double and sort them from smalles to largest into an array.
This is my code:      //This method inserts a double into its proper sorted position in a sorted
     //list. Throws exception if the list is full.
     public void sortedAdd(double num){
          if (numItems >= LIST_SIZE){
               System.out.println("List is full, cannot add more.");
          else if (numItems==0){
               items[0] = num;
               numItems++;
          else if (items[numItems-1] <= num){
               items[numItems] = num;
               numItems++;
          else{
               int i=numItems-1;
               while(items>num){
                    items[i+1] = items[i];
                    if (i<=1){
                         items[0] = num;
                         numItems++;
                    else{
                         i--;
               if (i>1){
                    items[i+1] = num;
                    numItems++;
But, for example, when I have an array of size 3 that contain 3 identical numbers, like this:23
23
23and I want to add a smaller number, like say:  5.4, my program gets stuck.
It should be like this:5.4
23
23
23                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

Answer 1

Ok, so I got this thing to work, jverd, but I don't really understand it. Can you help me?
This is the answer, and in bold is all I changed.
public void sortedAdd(double num){
          if (numItems >= LIST_SIZE){
               System.out.println("List is full, cannot add more.");
          else if (numItems==0){
               items[0] = num;
               numItems++;
          else if (items[numItems-1] <= num){
               items[numItems] = num;
               numItems++;
          else{
               int i=numItems-1;
               while(items>num){
                    items[i+1] = items[i];
                    if (*i<1*){
                         items[0] = num;
                         numItems++;
                    else{
                         i--;
               if (*i>=1*){
                    items[i+1] = num;
                    numItems++;
The only thing I did was move the equal sign from above and place it below. I have to admit, I did this out of desperation and trial and error, so can someone explain to me why this fixes the code?
Thanks again jverd and I'm marking the question as answered.
