> Phill, thanks for the correction. I'm not sure why but my text editor erased the "++" symbols both from the -while- and the -for- (that's why you can see two blank spaces right after -i- and -j-) Still, I don't get what I want.
I'm fairly certain that the code I gave will do what you want. Looking back at your original code, and plugging in the missing incrementers, I believe the problem is simply that the loop executes to completion so quickly that your break is not hitting inside the loop. Try bumping up the max iterations of the -while- loop to 1e5 or the limit of the inner loop to 1e5, and you should get the behavior you're expecting.
