Searching in an Array II

Lotto.java

// Check if drawnNumber is in selectedNumbers boolean found = false; for (int i = 0; !found && i < MAX_SELECT; ++i) { found = drawnNumber == selectedNumbers[i]; }

This is a typical loop that attempts to find the first occurence of a given value in an array.

found is to be set to true as soon we have found drawnNumber within selectedNumbers.

Note that we terminate the loop immediately once we have found what we are looking for.

This loop construct would not only be slower if we left out found! from the for condition but also return possibly wrong results. Why?
