How to properly use return values

[KevDev]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm new to writing bots. What's the proper way to use the return value of something like 

 

bank.withdraw(x, 1);

 

is something like this safe or is there some convention?

 

while (!bank.withdraw(x, 1)) {

     sleep(random(100, 500));

}

You should learn how to write a basic java program before trying to script. There are plenty of online resources that are great to learn from but if you don’t know what a return value is or how to use it you’re going to have a very hard time scripting.

while (!inventory.contains("itemname")){

bank.withdraw(x,1);

sleep(500);

}

Will attempt to withdraw the item until the boolean is true which is when item is in your inventory.

do not use while loops

NO

bank.withdraw returns a boolean result

if (bank.withdraw(...)){

  //we got an item
} 

You can see return types per method here

You're already in a loop, no need to start another one. Use what @Chris said. I suggest learning more before trying to script.

Learn Java first.

Learn java basics, check the API and some scripts written in here, and use conditional sleep and some failsafe checks.

if (getBank().withdraw("CamelToe",69)) { 

log ("We withdrew a camel toe.");

} else {

log ("Camel toe was not withdrawn");

}
