C++ Program leaving my for loop prematurely - c++

Question

I'm working on a little poker application and i've run into the first problem I just can't seem to comprehend.
while (allplayersGood != 1) { //round table till all decided
cout << "TOP OF WHILE LOOP";
for (int i = 0; i < PLAYER_COUNT; i++) { //for loop for decisions from non button or blinds
int player_decision = 1;
char choice;
if ((players[i].playerhand.card1.value != 'F') && (players[i].playerhand.card1.value != 'C')) {
if ((players[i].blind != 1 && players[i].blind != 2) && players[i].button != true) {
cout << "\n\n";
cout << " POT: " << playerTable->currentPot;
cout << "\n";
for (int i = 0; i < PLAYER_COUNT; i++) {
cout << "Player " << players[i].playernumber;
cout << " (" << players[i].chip_amount << ") ";
}
while (player_decision == 1) {
if (playerTable->currentBet > players[i].currentBet) {
cout << "\n\nPlayer " << players[i].playernumber << " ("; players[i].playerhand.printhand(); cout << ") " << "Type F for Fold, B for Call, R for Raise: ";
cin >> choice;
players[i].choice = choice;
if (choice == 'F') {
player_decision = 0;
players[i].fold();
}
if (choice == 'R') {
player_decision = 0;
players[i].bet(playerTable);
}
if (choice == 'B') {
player_decision = 0;
players[i].call(playerTable);
}
}
if ((playerTable->currentBet == players[i].currentBet) && player_decision != 0) { //big blind after round table
cout << "\n\nPlayer " << players[i].playernumber << " ("; players[i].playerhand.printhand(); cout << ") " << "Type C for Check, R for Raise: ";
cin >> choice;
players[i].choice = choice;
if (choice == 'B') {
player_decision = 0;
players[i].bet(playerTable);
}
if (choice == 'C') {
if (players[i].check(playerTable) == true) {
player_decision = 0;
}
}
}
}
}
else if (players[i].blind == 1 || players[i].blind == 2) {
if (players[i].blind == 1) {
players[i].chip_amount -= sblind;
playerTable->currentPot += sblind;
players[i].blind = 0;
players[i].currentBet = sblind;
}
if (players[i].blind == 2) {
players[i].chip_amount -= bblind;
playerTable->currentPot += bblind;
players[i].blind = 0;
players[i].currentBet = bblind;
}
}
}
}
for (int i = 0; i < PLAYER_COUNT; i++) { //seperate loop for button and blinds that were ignored in loop above
int player_decision = 1;
char choice;
if (players[i].button == true || players[i].blind == 1) { //button and small blind
cout << "\n\n";
cout << " POT: " << playerTable->currentPot;
cout << "\n";
for (int i = 0; i < PLAYER_COUNT; i++) {
cout << "Player " << players[i].playernumber;
cout << " (" << players[i].chip_amount << ") ";
}
while (player_decision == 1) {
cout << "\n\nPlayer " << players[i].playernumber << " ("; players[i].playerhand.printhand(); cout << ") " << "Type F for Fold, B for Call, R for Raise: ";
cin >> choice;
players[i].choice = choice;
if (choice == 'F') {
player_decision = 0;
players[i].fold();
}
if (choice == 'R') {
player_decision = 0;
players[i].bet(playerTable);
}
if (choice == 'B') {
player_decision = 0;
players[i].call(playerTable);
}
}
}
cout << i;
if (players[i].blind == 2) { //big blind
cout << "\n\n";
cout << " POT: " << playerTable->currentPot;
cout << "\n";
for (int i = 0; i < PLAYER_COUNT; i++) {
cout << "Player " << players[i].playernumber;
cout << " (" << players[i].chip_amount << ") ";
}
while (player_decision == 1) {
cout << "\n\nPlayer " << players[i].playernumber << " ("; players[i].playerhand.printhand(); cout << ") " << "C for Check, R for Raise: ";
cin >> choice;
players[i].choice = choice;
if (choice == 'C') {
if (players[i].check(playerTable) == true) {
player_decision = 0;
}
}
if (choice == 'R') {
player_decision = 0;
players[i].bet(playerTable);
}
}
}
}
int playersBetting = 0;
int playersGood = 0;
int playersChecked = 0;
int playersNot = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < PLAYER_COUNT; i++) {
if (players[i].playerhand.card1.value != 'F') {
playersBetting++;
if (players[i].currentBet == playerTable->currentBet) {
playersGood++;
}
}
}
for (int i = 0; i < PLAYER_COUNT; i++) {
if (players[i].playerhand.card1.value != 'F') {
if (players[i].isChecked == true) {
playersChecked++;
}
else {
playersNot++;
}
}
}
cout << playersBetting << playersGood;
if ((playersBetting == playersGood) || (playersNot == 0)) {
cout << "NEXT ROUND STARTED";
}
}
The issue is, during the second for loop with comment "seperate loop for button and blinds that were ignored in loop above" after the first if statement succeeds because players[0] has button equal to true, the player will make the terminal input as a decision, and the program will exit the for loop and go down to the end with the playersBetting and playersGood loops, then return back to the for loop at index 1 correctly.
I'm sorry if this is a little complicated to understand there is a lot of code that I probably didn't put into context very well, if you need any extra information please let me know.
Thank you.

Answer 1

You seem to have different loops inside one another. This is possible, but in that case, you need to use another loop variable (j instead of i), let me show you what happens:
for i ...
for j ...
This causes the following values to be taken for i and j:
i j
1 1
1 2
1 ...
1 n
2 1
2 2
2 ...
2 n
...
n 1
n 2
...
n n
... and here it stops.
If you keep using i in the inner loop, this is what you get:
i (outside loop) i (inside loop)
1 1
2 2 // indeed: changing i inside also changes i outside
... ...
n n
So you jump out of the outside loop, even after just having looped the inside loop one time.

Answer 2

I figured it out, it was unrelated to the actual loop and actually had to do with a value I changed upstream. Thank you for the few who tried to help with such little context haha
Have a good one
