Trying to get an array to show up in Debug.log

Question

I'm trying to script a $$anonymous$$gh score table that could be saved in PlayerPrefsX for my game project, but I can't seem to get the int array that I created for it to even show up in Debug.Log (or anywhere else really) even after creating a test value to see if anyt$$anonymous$$ng is even being entered. Not even the Inspector shows any indication that anyt$$anonymous$$ng happened, all of the values show up as 0. Here's the chunk of code I have for it so far:

 var scoreArray = new int[8];
 var testScore:int = 1000;
 var i:int;
 var j:int;
 
 function Start () {
 
 }
 
 function Update () {
     
     for (i = 0; i > 8; i++) //$$anonymous$$gh score check
         {
             if (testScore > scoreArray[i])
             {                        
                 for (j = scoreArray.length - 1; j <= i; --j ) //pushes the score values down starting from the slot that testScore ends up
                 {
                    scoreArray[j] = scoreArray[j-1];
                 }
                 
                 scoreArray[i] = testScore;
             }
             
             Debug.Log(scoreArray[i]);
         }
 
 }

I prefer solutions in JS as that is the language that I have the most experience with.

I t$$anonymous$$nk there is some problem with your code you posted. The for loop on line 12 should be

 for (i = 0; i < 8; i++) //$$anonymous$$gh score check

rather than

  for (i = 0; i > 8; i++) //$$anonymous$$gh score check

The ">" should be replaced with "<"

You're right, I had my operators flipped. Thanks, I guess it helps to have another set of eyes to look at the code to catch something like that. :)

There are few loop holes .

1) Break the loop as soon as you get any index w$$anonymous$$ch has lesser value then $$anonymous$$gh-score (Coming from top to bottom). Why traverse bottom numbers they are definitely smaller as compared to $$anonymous$$gh-score and not your concern.

2) W$$anonymous$$le breaking loop sort array based on new $$anonymous$$gh-score .Also your re-arranging array logic is not correct . try t$$anonymous$$s :

 for (j = scoreArray.length - 1 ;  j > i ;  j-- )
                                       scoreArray [j] = scoreArray [j - 1];

Cheers Arun

Thanks so much, I didn't realize that I could use break to stop a for loop once it finds a value lower than the testScore. I also fixed my sorting logic to properly count down the array and moved the whole loop to the Start function and now it works the way I want it to.
