hey all help please

Expand Post »

hey all,
i am now making a gpa calculator.

i am using 4 classes which form into seperate linked lists. one linked list is for the custom gui, and the other linked list is for the data list.

i am using custom images for this program which i import using the LoadImageApp.java, so if you need the images to execute this program, just tell me.

there are a couple of problems that i have encountered.

firstly, when i use clean and build using netbeacs 6.7 it creates my jar file. when i try to execute the jar file it does not execute.

secondly, the menu bar gives me exceptions. the code for the
guiList.java. i would like to know how to fix these exceptions. the code for the menu bar can be found in the file guiNode.java.

thirdly, my cgpa does not calculate. actually there are two options that the user has when he enters the data. he can either submit and add a new course or submit and not add a new course.

when the user enters only one course and then selects the submit and do not enter a new course the correct cgpa is shown, however if the user decides to add more courses, and then finaly selects the submit and do not add a new course the value for cgpa comes as 0.0 which was set in the constructor in the file gpaList.java.

the data is entered into the linked list correctly as the list is printed and then the cgpa is supposed to print.

please help

following are the files,

Re: hey all help please

i have solved the cgpa problem.

however i am yet to solve the other two errors, ie the jar file error, and the menu bar exceptions.

what i was doing was that i had declared the variable for the credit hour and total credit hours in the gpaNode class and gpaList class as int type.

when i was dividing the credit hour and the total credit hours the result was truncating to zero. because of that my cgpa was coming as 0.0 .

so guys please help me with the other two problems. i do not have enough experience with java/netbeans to solve those two problems.

also note that i am not doing any exception handling, but that will not prevent the exceptions from coming.

Re: hey all help please

Posting the exact exceptions might be helpful to those who are wanting to help you. (i didn't see them posted, but could have missed them. If they aren't in your post, add them and it should help in getting a response)

Re: hey all help please

it looks like it is complaining because the getSource is getting a javax.swing.JMenuItem, yet you are trying to use it as a JButton instead.
