For loop in JAVA (Selenium) for findElement through cssSelector

Question

I'd like to use for loop for these to click them from 1st checkbox - 4th checkbox for my test automation.

webdriver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#mat-checkbox-1 .mat-checkbox-inner-container")).click();
webdriver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#mat-checkbox-2 .mat-checkbox-inner-container")).click();
webdriver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#mat-checkbox-3 .mat-checkbox-inner-container")).click();
webdriver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#mat-checkbox-4 .mat-checkbox-inner-container")).click();

I've tried the code below but it's still not working.

for(int i=1; i>=4; i++){
webdriver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#mat-checkbox-"+i+".mat-checkbox-inner-container")).click();
}

Is the test passing when you use the first quote and then test fails when you interchange the quote with the latter? Are you using the first quote in this exact manner or you have other logic between the four webdriver.findElement operations? — dbl

I have used the wrong sign, as it should be <= in the for loop. Thanks :) — suchip

First of all, your loop is not correct. The second condition is about when the loop should run, and since you have it as i>=4 and start at i=1 it would never run. Also, you should separate conditions with ;, so the correct for-loop in your case would be: for(int i = 1; i <= 4; i++){...}. And finally, you forgot the whitespace before .mat-checkbox-.. part. The correct code should look like this:

for(int i = 1; i <= 4; i++){
    webdriver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#mat-checkbox-"+i+" .mat-checkbox-inner-container")).click();
}
