The idea behind this code is to have a particle centered at the origin of a square, and to see how many movements it would take the particle to touch the boarder of the square with twice the length of some integer n. Anytime I run it, however, the code refuses to run as if it is trapped in an infinite loop. I even tried implementing a limit the value of variable g in order to stop the loop and the same problem happens. If anyone could spot the error within my code, that would be greatly appreciated.
public static void main(String[] args) {
int n = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
double n0 = 0;
double e = 0;
double s = 0;
double w = 0;
int a = 0;
int b = 0;
int c = 0;
int d = 0;
int g = 0;
for (double i = Math.random();
((g != 5) || (n0 != 2 * n) || (e != 2 * n) || (s != 2 * n) || (w != 2 * n)); ) {
if (i < 0.25) {
n0 = n0 + n;
s = s - n;
a = a + 1;
g = g + 1;
}
else if (i < 0.5) {
e = e + n;
w = w - n;
b = b + 1;
g = g + 1;
}
else if (i < 0.75) {
s = s + n;
n0 = n0 - n;
c = c + 1;
g = g + 1;
}
else {
w = w + n;
e = e - n;
d = d + 1;
g = g + 1;
}
}
System.out.println("The particle moved north " + a + " times.");
System.out.println("The particle moved east " + b + " times.");
System.out.println("The particle moved south " + c + " times.");
System.out.println("The particle moved west " + d + " times.");
System.out.println("The particle moved " + g + " times.");
}
}
