Again and Again prints the same value

Question

I have been asked to check the number of times a team\'s name is on the text that is on my computer. I wrote the code, the code works fine by counting the number of times th

Answer 1

Don't call 'GetName' in the loop, call it once before the loop and store the result.

Answer 2

Calling getName() once every loop will cause the program to ask for a team name every loop:

        int count = 0;
        for ( int  index = 0 ; index < winners.length ; index ++ )
        {
            if ( getName(teamName).equals(winners[index]))
            {
                count++;

            }
        }

By moving getName() out of the loop, it will only be called once (and a team name will only be requested once):

    int count = 0;
    String nameOfTeam = getName(teamName); // This line runs getName() once

    for ( int  index = 0 ; index < winners.length ; index ++ )
    {
        if ( nameOfTeam.equals(winners[index]))
        {
            count++;

        }
    }

Answer 3

In the method checkSeries1() remove the method call for getName(teamName) out of for loop and call getName() only once outside for loop, like this:

int count = 0;
String name = getName(teamName);
for ( int  index = 0 ; index < winners.length ; index ++ )
{
    if ( name.equals(winners[index]))
    {
        count++;
    }
}
