Help with my nested if statement

[Bryce Heath]

Hey guys
I have been trying to figure out why this line of code never looks at the else if part of the if statement. I have been trying a long time now and no luck maybe someone can figure it out. This is not the exact code I edited it so it would make sense out of context, but as far as I can tell y is ++ but the else if is never run in the loop but all the rest of it is running correctly. Any help would be great.

		tileLayout = new ArrayList<TileParent>();
		int locX = 0;
		int locY = 0;
		
		
		
		for(int y = 0; y < 5  ; y++)
		{
			test++;
			for(int x = 0; x < 10  ; x++)
			{
				if(mapArray[y][x] == 'A')
				{
					
					// if the 2d map array has an A it makes a brown tile and checks to see if can place in an empty spot on the board
					tileLayout.add( new BrownTile(locX, locY));
					

					//***** the problem is here locX and locY are not updating they stay at 80
					if(x < 10)
					{
						locX += 80;
					}	
					else if(y < 5) //<------------------------- this is never run
					{
						locY += 80;
						

						
					}
					
					
					
				}
			}
		}

else if will run if and only if first if condition is false so please check your logic.

Hey Thanks for the reply. I'm glad you took the time to look at this. Funny how such a simple mistake can take so long to figure out.

You would do well to write your logic down as pseudo-code on a sheet of paper before trying to commit it to silicon. That might have prevented that mistake.
