How to rediect from a function

[shiniskumar]

ive got a method

private void getAllChildsCorrToParent(Integer parentId,Integer compId,String name){

for(){
//-------
}
if{
for(){
getAllChildsCorrToParent(parentId,compId,name);
//----
}
}
for(){
//----
}

stmnts;
}

my problem is tat after executing the last statements , the control passes to the function inside the for loop. i want to exit from the whole method and go to the method from where getAllChildsCorrToParent() was called. how do i do this.

let's see if putting code tags aroudn might shed some light on the problem

private void getAllChildsCorrToParent(Integer parentId,Integer compId,String name){
 
  for(){
    //-------
  }
  if{
    for(){
      getAllChildsCorrToParent(parentId,compId,name);
      //----
    }
  }
  for(){
    //----
  }
  stmnts;
}
 

a) is stmnts DEFINITELY executing?
b) how do you know that it then revert s back into a for (and do you know which one)
c) using the word "return" (with no return value) should return from a void function, however we should return anyway once we reach the end of the code (so maybe one of your statements is inadvertently calling this method again)....

If the if-statement is true, you will be stucked forever - you call the same method with the same parameters again, again... (if you dont modify any of them - but you dont show much code)

Post the whole method to get better help,... and perhaps the problem is not in the method, it might be where you call the method.
