Question

Im trying to break a while loop before it goes into the negative numbers but it keeps going past 0 and showing a negative numbers

The problem would be my while loop this is the loop

while(Math.round(housetotal)>0){
    housetotal-=o*12;
    zx++;
    row_data.push([zx,
    {v:housetotal, f:'$'+Comma(housetotal)},        
    ]);

    if(zx == year || housetotal<=0){                 
            break
        }

    }

my loop works something like this.

lets say

housetotal = 239,852 
o = 1,438

222,596 and continue to count down to -1,732 after 14 loops

im trying to make it stop at the 13th loop which is 15,524 so it doesn’t go into the negative

in my while statement i have if zx which is equal to whatever number i have which in this case is 15 and o*12 is whatever number that comes up multiplied by 12 but in this case is 1,438 x 12 = 17,256

One solution is to check the values after the assignment and break the loop then:

while(Math.round(housetotal)>0){
   housetotal-=o*12;
   zx++;

   if(zx == year || housetotal<=0)               // moved here
      break;

   row_data.push( [zx, {v:housetotal, f:'$'+Comma(housetotal)}, ]);
}
