Use == to compare values; = performs assignment, not comparison.

Applets shouldn't have constructors because an applet isn't guaranteed to have a full environment until init is called. So the code you would normally put in your constructor should go into the...

This topic was recently discussed (http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread155995.html).

It's not just a convention, it's a good programming practice. If you incorrectly attempt to override a superclass's method without the annotation, your error will be silently ignored. If you do...

Then I was correct in my last response.

Again, in Ruby, what you just described would look like this:
button_name = "button1"
eval(button_name).whatever # calls whatever() on the variable button1

I'll go through each of the errors I see.

1) new int[5] //Constructing the array

This line does nothing useful and is missing a semicolon. You should remove the line completely.

2) int[0] =...

You need to use the getWidth() and getHeight() methods.



Here's a rough draft of my version:

I still don't understand the question entirely, but in many scripting languages you can evaluate any given string as if it were code.

Example in Ruby:
var = "Hello, world!"
puts var # prints:...

If you have two hundred buttons you should store them in an array.

Java doesn't support creating variable names dynamically.

Objects are destroyed for you by the garbage collector.

You'd compare an object to null with ==. I think you want one of the following. It's hard to determine the exact behavior you're looking for from your code.
if (child == null)
child = new...

Keep in mind you aren't looping here, so the sum variable is not doing anything useful.

You can rewrite javaAddict's code to be like this:

You can read more about it here (http://leepoint.net/notes-java/oop/constructors/constructor-super-example.html).

You do need it. But it's there implicitly. It works because that superclass has a constructor that takes no arguments.

We posted at the same time.

A superclass must always be constructed before its children. There are two things that are implicit in your MainClass class.

1) Since you did not specify any constructors, you have an implicit...

You have to compare each one explicitly.
boolean invalidColor = (FColour != 'B' && FColour != 'L' && FColour != 'W' && FColour != 'R' && FColour != 'Y' && FColour != 'G');

Every class has a hashCode method. Just don't use the URL class for this because it's broken. use the URI class.

No, reread what you/he wrote.

I'm not saying he was suggesting making it a public variable, just that in the context of his comment, he meant public variable.

The java.util.Stack class is a legacy class. You should use the java.util.Deque interface instead, which supports LIFO.

Try specifying the proxy in the gem command with sudo gem install rails -p [proxy url]:[port]. If that doesn't work, try setting the environment variable with set HTTP_PROXY=[proxy url]:[port]

Do you have a firewall that's getting in the way?

Is this just a syntax question? Because your psuedocode is (nearly) correct.

Chances are he's doing it wrong.



Yes, in this case it does, but that's irrelevant to my point.


Right, but I was clarifying for the other posters since they thought that casting to a char...

No, he meant public variable. He/she was saying that the OP should be saying myCircle.getRadius() instead of myCircle.getRadius (notice the parentheses). In the latter case, you would need to declare...

The Math class is imported by default; you don't need to import it manually.
masijade was suggesting that you look in that class for a method that might be useful to you.

You mean public variable.

These should really be two separate threads, but that's alright.

Let's look at your applet first. There are a couple of problems with it. Mainly, you stuck all of your logic into the paint method....

Can you edit your post to include code tags please?

Yup, I edited my post a minute before you posted this.

Beat you to it. :)

And to unconfuse you, read my post above and you'll see that an EOFException is an IOException.

Try Googling "validating JTextField."

First result was your question covered in depth: http://java.sun.com/developer/JDCTechTips/2001/tt1120.html

Note that IOException is a superclass of many classes (you can see a list at its documentation (http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/io/IOException.html)). If you put e.printStackTrace(); in...

You have all the right logic, you're just missing half a line. Looks like a silly mistake on your part.
char c = word.charAt(0);
reverseWord += reverse(word.substring(1));
reverseWord += c;
