Question

Is there a nicer way to do the count I’m doing below?

I’m sure this must be possible with modulus or something. I’m looking for someway to manipulate i instead of using the extra variable x. (to beautify this).

Here is the long way round:

int MAX = 4;
int x = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 50; i++) {
   System.out.print(x); 
   if(x++; == MAX)
      x = 0;
}

Expected outcome:
// 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 .. etc

Answer 1

for (int i = 0; i < 50; i++) {   System.out.print(i % MAX); }
