For loop and if statement

Question

I am working with the following for loop:

for (int intPrjName = 0; intPrjName < [arrPrjName count]; intPrjName++)

I have a if/else stat

If you want to show only one alert in case of failed condition that would probably mean you don't want to continue the loop. So as Jason Coco mentioned in his comment, you break from the loop. Here's a simple example on how to do this:

for (int intPrjName = 0; intPrjName < [arrPrjName count]; intPrjName++) {
   if (condition) {
      // do something
   } else {
      break;
   }
}

Otherwise, if you want to check some condition for every element of the array, you would probably want to keep track of failures and show user the summary (could be an alert message, another view, etc). Short example:

NSUInteger numFailures = 0;

for (int intPrjName = 0; intPrjName < [arrPrjName count]; intPrjName++) {
   if (condition) {
      // do something
   } else {
      numFailures++;
   }
}

UIAlertView *alert = [[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:title
                  message:@"Operation failed: %d", numFailures
                  delegate:nil
                  cancelButtonTitle:@"OK"
                  otherButtonTitles:nil] autorelease];
[alert show];

Good luck!
