This Java snippet describes a quote from a movie. Can you find the quote?

void function (int number, int attempts) {

  {
    if (number > 1) {
      do {
        System.out.println('something');    
      } while (attempts > ++number);
    } else {
      System.out.println('something else');
    }
  } catch (Exception ex) {
    System.out.println('something bad');
  }

}

  • $\begingroup$ Sorry, I didn't see that before I posted. The answer is indeed the same, but the riddle itself seems different enough to me. $\endgroup$ – Matt Mar 30 '16 at 18:56

    $\begingroup$ I can't really agree about the duplicate. Sure, it's the same answer, but it's a different programming language, a different style, and a completely different method of getting that answer. $\endgroup$ – Khale_Kitha Mar 30 '16 at 18:56

Quote:

Do, or do not. There is no try.

Explanation:

The "catch" is missing the corresponding "try" statement, regardless of how the "do while" evaluates.
