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.

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...

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


import java.util.Scanner;

public class Input {

private Scanner scanner;
private String ps = "> ";

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:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class GuessGame extends JFrame {

private static JButton...

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...

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)...

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...

I was just getting too bogged down trying to fix the old code, so I decided to start fresh, and guess what - I got it!

I'm just using a small value of 10.

Pretty much, what I'm writing (as to help me learn Java) is a Sieve of Eratosthenes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_of_Eratosthenes), it's a prime number...

...I'm sorry hooknc, I don't see how I'm making an array of zero length - the size of the array is set by limit which is specified from the users first argument.

And, yes, array elements do start...

Is there a way in Java to assign values en masse to an array?

To give an idea of what I'm trying to achieve, in Perl, you can do: @listofvalues = (1..$anynumber); to add (in this case) all digits...

Ok, I fixed the whole sizing issue by throwing the table into a ScrollPane :cheesy:

Ok, I used this tutorial (http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html#data) from Sun, but a problem quickly arose: I need to be able to read data from a file and then...

Alright, thanks, hooknc. I'll change it up, and post my results. :cheesy:

I'm trying to list some data gathered from files into a JTable - here's the code I'm using:

Thanks for the help guys (and quite possibly girls).

The method which you proposed, hooknc, is the same model that's used in a Java book I have. What I've done is created a separate class that's...

Thanks for the reply, iamthwee, but I'm only asking on here because I've yet to find a googled search result that has yielded anything useful to me (and in a more grammatical, less syntatic way).

I have a question about creating my own custom classes. I want my own class - NButton. The idea of this class was to quickly make JButtons, by adding my own custom argument sets. Here's my prototype...

This post is asking ALOT, but I'm not expecting one person to leave me a hefty response, so any bits of widsom and knowledge are MUCHLY appreciated.

Could someone(s) please explain to me (in...

Thanks alot for your replies :D
