Could you please provide the code that dictates the decryption? I would normally ask only for certain parts of code, but I would need to see the whole thing to figure out where it's messing up.

Way to beef up your post count, hopalongcassidy. If you hate Lisp so much, then avoid any thread with "Lisp" or "Scheme" in the title.

Sheesh.

I'm sorry for that lsprog.
I haven't done much...

I haven't written any I/O Java code in a while, but I do remember using java.io.PrintStream which is a buffered stream, so you don't need to create a whole mess of inline class instances.

For small to moderately-sized projects, I've stuck with Emacs and a terminal emulator.

For larger projects, I found Eclipse was too....busy, and I switched to Netbeans recently and am quite happy...

If you're looking to create mobile applications (when I hear "mobile" I think cell phones, PDAs, etc.), then you will need a J2ME SDK (Java 2 Mobile Edition), and a Java-enabled device. Finding a...

For immersing one's self into Linux, I would suggest Gentoo. Just print yourself off a copy of the appropriate handbook (based on your processor architecture), and follow it very carefully.

The only thing I use for input on the CLI is java.util.Scanner.


import java.util.Scanner;

public class Input {

private Scanner scanner;

So?

I learned Java just so I knew at least one, non-Smalltalk-based, OOP language.

I'm still making use of other classes within the program (javax.swing.JFrame, javax.swing.JButton, etc.). I...

What you've got is a good start. Here's how I would do it:

Sweet. :)

Alright. I looked over the code you have, and I would do it much differently than you have done it (while still staying within the requirements).


Get rid of the constructor for the...

You are very welcome! :D

That's fine, but having the loop repeatedly call Integer.parseInt() is just going to re-parse the first number it comes across (if they're separated by spaces) or it will just mush all of the...

There is no atomic "type" in Java.

All of the classes in the java.util.concurrent.atomic package have the "Atomic" prefix in their names.

All of those classes "...provide atomic access to...

What you seem to have downloaded, are headers for using menus in a program. To actually use these as a program, you would need to write a program that makes use of, and creates instances of, these...

Being a Linux user for the past 13 years, (starting when I was 6), one of the biggest brainf***s you could do is start with a UNIX system (the only exception being Mac OS X - which is a Darwin/BSD...

One thing I would not do is declare a variable inside of a loop:

...
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
int n = Integer.parseInt(t.getText());

Put this instead:

public void compare(int x)...

You're very welcome, dmmckelv. :)

The rudeness of some people on this forum floors me.

gamingfan1993, here's a rough sketch (in QBASIC):

It appears you have a superfluous opening parenthesis just before the FORMAT call:

When referring to file paths in Common LISP, it's best to either use the pathname directive:
(load #p("/path/to/file")

From the way I was tought things, function programming is synonymous with procedural programming.

And which programming language?

Watch out with variable names...especially in this situation: CAR is a function in Lisp, so I would name the variable *cars* instead.

It's also not working, because you haven't defined the symbols...

Even though this thread is approximately 10 months old, I'm going to resurrect it anyways.

Make sure the hardware is properly seated, and check to see if there are any noticable damages.

Now, how is this much different than SourceForge, aside from focusing on Debian-based systems?

I recently inherited Programming C# from the O'Reilly line, and I'm reading through it, and almost losing interest due to the fact that it looks almost identical to Java. I've programmed in Java for...

Poop, I didn't catch that.

Thanks for pointing it out, KevinADC.

The logical condition is correct, but watch the syntax: (and (numberp n) (numberp m))

Try this:

(if (numberp m)
(if (numberp n)

It's logically correct, but watch the spacing:
(and (numberp n) (numberp m))

Try passing the -h switch to QBASIC on the shortcut properties. The -h switch makes the QBAISC window come up in "high resolution", more than likely why you deal with line counts greater than 24 in...

Java's a good start.
After a while, but before you get comfortable with any language, I recommend you check out Lisp.

Lisp is pretty much the language for multiple solutions for any given problem...

Likewise :cheesy:

Don't be :cheesy:
Lisp is amazing. I program in it, now, almost exclusively.

Now, here's an example supplying you have a Lisp REPL (interpreter) - like CLISP - installed to /usr/local/bin:
