c++ - Can't seem to break a while loop on collision, hashing -

i don't know why code not breaking out of while loop:

int table_size = 953; store hash_table[953]; for(int = 0; < table_size; i++)     hash_table[i].count = 0;  //bunch of stuff hash value here  while(hash_table[hashnum].data != pstring || hash_table[hashnum].count != 0){     hashnum++;     if(hashnum > table_size)         hashnum = 0;     cout << hash_table[hashnum].count;      // check value of count in array, 0, should have broken loop } 

you mean:

while(hash_table[hashnum].data != pstring && hash_table[hashnum].count != 0) 

in code loop continue if either case true, hash_table[hashnum].count == 0 not sufficient make clause false.
