EXP/Level system help fix code [SOLVED]

I am trying to create a level system for my game, but i quickly found out I cannot "math" today and have no idea why this is not working.

Code (CSharp):

1. public static void ZepherAddExp(int EXP){
2.         CharacterInformation.ZepherCurrentEXP += EXP;
3.         Debug.Log ("Zepher gained " + EXP + " EXP!");
4.         for (int i = CharacterInformation.ZepherCurrentEXP; i >= CharacterInformation.ZepherNeededEXP; i -= CharacterInformation.ZepherNeededEXP) {
5.             CharacterInformation.ZepherLevel ++;
6.             Debug.Log("Zepher leveled up to " + CharacterInformation.ZepherLevel);
7.             CharacterInformation.ZepherCurrentEXP -= CharacterInformation.ZepherNeededEXP;
8.             CharacterInformation.ZepherNeededEXP += 50;
9.         }
10.     }

In the end after adding 10,000 EXP to test my character reaches level 18 starting from 1 and NeededEXP starting at 100. My final result is 1,500 stored in CurrentEXP and 950 stored in NeededEXP.

I have been sitting here for bout 2 hours hitting my head on my keyboard. I am sure that it is a simple fix and any help is appreciated.

 

Changing it to while loop goes to lvl19,
with 1000 in neededExp and 550 in currentExp.

Code (CSharp):

1. while (ZepherCurrentEXP>= ZepherNeededEXP)
2. {
3. ..
4. }

 

Can i suggest just setting neededexp to 0 instead first off.

And i feel like youll end up with some exp not being used as you dont add the remainder to anything after youve calculated the amount of levels?

Edit: hold on, im totally wrong. I see what youre doing here.

I will be stealing this code when its fixed, very elegant solution. ;p

 

No problem. There wouldn't be much of a community if people kept all of their code to themselves.

here is the fixed and working version:

Code (CSharp):

1. public static void ZepherAddExp(int EXP){
2.         CharacterInformation.ZepherCurrentEXP += EXP;
3.         Debug.Log ("Zepher gained " + EXP + " EXP!");
4.         while (CharacterInformation.ZepherCurrentEXP >= CharacterInformation.ZepherNeededEXP) {
5.             CharacterInformation.ZepherLevel ++;
6.             Debug.Log("Zepher leveled up to " + CharacterInformation.ZepherLevel);
7.             CharacterInformation.ZepherCurrentEXP -= CharacterInformation.ZepherNeededEXP;
8.             CharacterInformation.ZepherNeededEXP += 50;
9.         }
10.     }

 

Outstanding!

Thanks for the follow-up!
