traversing arrays using for loops in java

Question

I want to compare numbers from two arrays where array1[start] compares with array2 and makes comparisons with every array2 element and then increment the array1 index once its done so. Heres what ive got so far

for(int i=0; i<array1.length; i++){ // move along array 1 

    if(array1[i]>array2[j]){
        //do something
        }

  for(int j =0; j<array2.length; j++){ // moves along array 2
        }
}

Answer 1

This is probably what you wanted.

for(int i=0; i<array1.length; i++){ // move along array 1
    for(int j=0; j<array2.length; j++){ // moves along array 2
        if(array1[i]>array2[j]){
            //do something
        }
    }
}

Your placement of core logic block is in the wrong scope.
