not urgent

not urgent. And no help for multiposters.

not urgent.

That is going to be a tough homework , you may ask your teacher to provide a simpler homework to try with :D .

Kid can't even find the button to post a new thread instead of hijacking a 5 year old one.
What makes you think it's able to comprehend your response?

Of course the very people who don't use code tags are almost certainly those people who won't read announcements either...

The base class knows nothing about the existence of child classes, and should never even want to know.
If you think you have such a requirement, you have a fundamentally flawed design.

But most likely all you need are some virtual functions, which would make the whole thing happen implicitly, so the correct overridden function from a child class gets called from a non-overridden method in the base class when that method is used from an instance of that child class.

To do something like that, I'd hashmap with the object containing the data as the value and the name as the key.

Of course it might not be needed at all.

Under the terms of your contract cracking that phone is a breach of contract, opening you to lawsuits.
Anyone offering to do so for free or fee is engaged in what's effectively criminal activity, of course they're going to scam you, they're criminals.

After your contract has run out, the phone company (at least here) has the legal responsibility to unlock your phone for you.
Of course 99.999% of users will just buy a new phone because by then the old one will no longer be the latest model.

what a total crapload of FUD you're spouting here.

1) OpenSolaris is still free, it's an open source project out of (direct) control of Sun/Oracle (though they are the main maintainers of course).
2) Java isn't slow at all. Only idiot kids still think so who read too many 15 year old scare stories from slashdot.
3) Oracle has stated quite clearly that mySQL will remain free.
4) idem with SPARC
5) get real. Companies buy and sell each other. That's the way of the world. Maybe not your communist dream paradise where everything is owned by The State and The State gives away everything for free, but in the real world where things actually work.

It's your project to figure it out, not ours.
Nor is it our job to hand you your homework thesis on a golden platter.

You should have kept the one with Windows installed, and got Ubuntu to set up its boot manager to allow multiboot.
As is, neither boot manager (Windows or Linux) now knows about the other OS, and the machine will boot the first harddisk it encounters (which appears to be Windows).

Maybe this can be resolved by changing the boot order of the harddisks on the cable (which might involve setting some jumpers on the disks), then under Linux modifying the boot manager configuration.

1. Aiding or encouraging the behavior
2. Neglect of whatever the behavior is

Which is exactly what I was talking about...
A LOT of parents know full well that their children are engaged in criminal activity yet take no action to correct that.

The parents who see their children come home every few days with new clothes they couldn't possibly have bought from their allowance or weekend job yet don't ask where those came from are the mildest example.
Parents getting complaints from neighbours and/or police about their children acting like neighbourhood thugs and vandalising property are a major problem here.
I've personally witnessed parents telling their children to shoplift in supermarkets, to put things in their pockets but make sure noone is watching first.

And those (thought the last I've witnessed rarely, presumably because most such parents are more careful) aren't incidents, they're endemic especially in specific racial/social/national groups at least in this country.
In fact there's a strong sentiment in some groups that vandalising and thuggery if aimed at certain other groups is quite correct behaviour and is actively encouraged by parents and neighbourhoods as a whole.

i heard Fortran is the next New Thing

phew, Fortran. Algol 60 is where it's at!

determinate?
Slip of the tongue there? :)

A system like you describe would take hundreds if not thousands of hours to build for a team of several people if done right.
Of course that would be a professional application rather than the highly simplified versions most homework assignments require, which shouldn't take more than a day or so.

You'll need to write an expression parser.
Not a beginner's job, though not all that tricky.
There are several books (and no doubt websites) that contain sample code for simple parsers that you can use for inspiration.

To be honest, I thought you were well above the skill level that you are at.

and no doubt so assumes the teacher because he's been pushing knowledge for quite a while.
Can't blame the man if kids aren't paying attention, rather trying to hack school networks to get to their facebook accounts.

there is no "best", each has its benefits and drawbacks based on what you actually want to do with them.

going to require a lot of jobs to "analyse" all that "data" for the archives of Big Brother.
There's all those jobs The One promised to create.

Unfortunately, you will require a submit button to send the value to a jsp page.

No, you don't.
You could have some javascript submitting the form without the need to press a button, say on exiting the input control.

Your cousin is a fool to want to use an OS that's out of support.

and your point with all that ranting (you lost me after the first few paragraphs)?

To gain market share you must have (in no particular order)
1) quality
2) marketing
3) sex appeal

Microsoft has all 3, Linux has only the first.
And the Linux crowd as a whole steadfastly refuses to engage in the other 2 for no other reason than that "it's what big corporations do", their religious fervour preventing them from doing what's needed to get their products adopted by the mainstream.

If Linux were useable by computer illiterates and they'd not be calling me every hour day and night with questions on how to get things working (and keep them working) I would likely have set it up for my parents.
I might be using it myself (I don't want the pain of spending half of every day keeping my machine running, which in the world of Linux is, at least in my experience, the norm).

As is, I keep a few VMWare images with some Linux distro and Solaris for when I want to fool around and keep my Unix shell knowledge up, but for day to day operations I use Windows which is pretty much maintenance free for me.
Let's summarise: Windows JUST WORKS, Linux requires near constant tinkering.
For the average user that's not something that works for them.

And do you know some solution? If yes, than you write me it please.

no, we're not going to do your work for you. Read the rules, kid.
Anyway, your own writings seem pretty random so just keep sitting behind that keyboard and hammer away at it.

sounds like another attempt to create some kind of bot or clicker for an mmo...

If they perform specific tasks, maybe they are actors.
If they're just storage containers, I'd not call them actors.

The program will eventually crash with an OutOfMemoryError. Should be a good enough end :)

Looking at the majority of tweets, they will wonder if WE had the concept of thinking.

Assuming the average Twitter user is representative of society...
Which apparently the LoC does think, which either doesn't bode well for society or the LoC (or both).

php is useless, it's in invitation to spaghetti code.
Effectively such code is impossible to maintain, we call it write-only code.

it's bad enough that people use it to create websites, don't make things worse by trying to push it into the application programming domain where it doesn't belong.

You don't try to use a hammer when you require a chainsaw, right?

still good advice (even if op probably never will read it, maybe someone else will).

It is important to me to have the software created independent of platform. I found that to learn C++ I only need a text editor, vi/nano/pico or event gedit, and g++. It is quite convenient.

and with java you only need an editor and a compiler too.
No difference :)

you are right..I have stored them globally but I havent declared them to be static...there is no way I can use my code without declaring stuff as global
please advise

There is always a way...
In general, do not declare anything globally unless you want it to be available between requests (even simulataneous requests from different clients).

Worst case scenario:
client 1 sets field, client 2 sets field to something else, client 1 reads field and resets it to null, client 2 reads field.
Now client 1 has the wrong value and client 2 most likely experiences a NullPointerException.

And they will say, "What were they thinking!?"

hmm, will they even still understand the concept of "thinking"?

something else to keep in mind is never to take any advice from someone calling themselves a professional yet can't be bothered to check the timestamp on a question and tries to give an answer >3 years after it's already been answered.

Java sounds good too. It's no resource hog, if you know how to use it (just like C++ is a resource hog if you don't know how to use it).

most likely. No doubt you're comitting the ultimate sin of storing everything in global (maybe even static) members of your servlet class, something that should rarely if ever be done with servlets.

that's why I gave an answer that's technically correct, for some very literal interpretation of the question, yet no doubt utterly useless :)

please correct at least the spelling of his name :(

Yes, he will indeed be missed.

could be both

I was assuming a logical OR, not XOR ;)

right, so they don't ask your age but your birthday :)
And then don't tell you you're too old but "we don't think you'd fit in our young and dynamic team".

the typical kind of question we get here, sadly.
The "do my homework for me based on minimal information and I get angry and abusive if you don't do it immediately" kind.

public boolean checkPassword(String password) {
  // your logic here
}

Maybe where you live a 30+ year old switching careers to IT stands a chance, here he doesn't.
And that's been the case for years now.

In fact anyone much over 30 without at least 5-10 years of experience in the field can forget about getting any job at all in IT here.
Heck, if you're over 40 you'd best not get laid off or you will be out of a job until retirement (or until the unemployment office forces you into a minimum wage job pruning bushes in a public park or something along those lines).

first step is coming up with your own idea.
ANYTHING you didn't come up with yourself won't be new.

There is no secret. Just years and years of hands on experience and a willingness to spend very long hours studying and practicing your skills.

build menu settings is now "expert" ?

:-O

.

The express edition is a dumbed down version aimed at homework kiddos who want to "create your own videogame in 24 hours" :(

Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and some others are all needed to create paper from which boarding tickets are made.

3 years after and the kiddo comes back with the exact same question?
What's it been doing all this time? Playing with its XBox?

too lazy or too stupid to think for yourself? Which of the two applies to you?
Whichever it is, you don't deserve to get a passing grade.

The instructions almost write it for you...
ALL you need to do is translate them into Java code. If you can't do even that you should go back to the very first lesson you got and restart from there.

might be possible, but why do that at all when you could just use their web services API and call that directly, parsing the results?

Search for it :)
