I would prefer


public boolean find(String name) {
   int i, count = array.count();
   boolean found = false;
   for (i=0;i<count && !found;i++)
     found = array.objectAt(i).equals(name);
   return found;

What is the best way to get out of a for loop <br />
<br />
I have :<br />
<br />
public boolean find(String name) {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;int i, count = array.count();<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;for (i=0;i&lt;count;i++)<br />

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;return true;<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; return false;<br />
}<br />
<br />
Is it alright/good practice to get out of the loop this way? Any downsides to it? <br />

What is the best way to get out of a for loop 

I have :

public boolean find(String name) {
   int i, count = array.count();
   for (i=0;i<count;i++)
     if (array.objectAt(i).equals(name)
       return true;

    return false;
}

Correctly exiting a for loop...

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
