exiting loop

Question

User-2060576634 posted

hi folks . I've written this simple code to somehow convert decimals to fractions but I don't know how to exit the loop on first iteration to keep only one result. any ideas?

    var share = (float)12 / 13;

    for (var i = 1; i < 100; i++)
    {
        for (var n = 1; n < 100; n++)
        {
            var fraction= (float)i/n;
            if (fraction == share)
            {
                <p>@i/@n</p>
            } 
        }
    }

A loop is not the right tool then.

bool done = false

while(!done)

{

//do your thing here

If(test = ok) { done = true;}

}

    var share = (float)12 / 13;
    bool success = false;
    for (var i = 1; i < 100; i++)
    {
        if (!success)
        {
            for (var n = 1; n < 100; n++)
            {
                var fraction = (float)i / n;
                if (fraction == share)
                {
                    <p>@i/@n = @fraction</p>
                    success = true;
                }
            }
        }
    }
