Look at a decorator pattern.

your communications skills don't help, and your attitude only makes it worse.
Why should anyone help you when you write in such abysmal English (bad enough that it must be deliberate) and get agressive towards anyone who says anything you don't like?

sorry, I can't help being wise. It just comes naturally to wise people.

Now if you were not so stubborn and started taking advise given to you freely by people who've more experience in life than you do maybe you might acquire some wisdom yourself.

just another variant of the "give me a project title for my final year project" by just another unmotivated lazy kid that can't think for itself.

rules which also state that we're NOT a homework agency where you can go to get someone else to do your work for you in order to help you cheat.

tough luck. Those sites aren't related to your schoolwork so you have no business visiting them at school.
If they are so related, you can get the school to unblock them.

yes, and extinct for many millions of years :) They were probably killed off by fish and other more mobile critters.
Sea creatures can grow larger for the same basic shape than do land creatures because the water helps support their weight.

About a third of the Autobahnen in Germany have no speed limit. The rest has for various reasons, mostly noise abatement in urban areas or temporary restrictions because of bad road surface condition or roadworks in progress.

I've myself done 190kmh there (120+ mph) as a driver and 250 (160+) as a passenger.
Fun :)

"The application taht collor specific text of code and do the indentation. " That is NOT what a compiler does.
You're obviously looking for an IDE, which is exactly what you should NOT be using until you know the difference between an IDE and a compiler and can use a compiler well.

may be it is a legacy class. but I was asked both the questions in Interview.
That is why I need to know the answers.

If you were asked that in a job interview and didn't know the answer they're right to fail you.
If you applied for a job where you should know the answer and you not only don't know it but don't know where to find it (and it's easy to find, everyone should know who's programmed in Java for more than a day or so) you don't deserve any job at all.

If your method implementation can work with both integer and floating point numbers, why handle them differently?
If it can't, why use generics to template away the difference in the method signature?

I assume you pass in an argument of type <E extends Number> ?

well, apparently not properly.

don't use Vector unless you have to and remember that you don't have to unless you've no other option (like it's a required argument to some method). That's all you need to know.

don't bother with Vector.
It's a legacy class that's best forgotten.

lots of typing ahead :)

You need to include each jar individually on the classpath, or put the names into the MANIFEST for your own jar (see the specification of the MANIFEST file and the documentation of the jar command on how to do that)

and what has a 2D array to do with counters anyway?
A counter is just a number after all...

problem is, you'll freeze to death too :)

just call your powercompany and ask them to "gif yu zuh koduz". I'm sure they'll be more than happy to oblige.

huh?
What are you trying to do?
If you have to worry about the exact type of a genericised argument to a method the decision to use generics at that stage was wrong.

and any bot that doesn't interfere with the user experience is useless, so effectively they ban bots.

you said you could figure it all out for yourself, so by definition you're not lost.

come back in about a year. Maybe we will have time for you by then.

In other words, there's nothing urgent about it for us. You stating that it is, and thus that you're more important than everyone else and we should all drop what we're doing to help you in incredibly rude.

and why should that be so? charAt gives the character value at the index indicated.
'3' does not yield 3 though.

no it's not. It's a terrible site. And spamming is not allowed here.

All depends on what you want to spend...

I've a Coolermaster Centurion 5, which is a very nice case. About €60. http://www.coolermaster.com/products/product.php?act=detail&tbcate=17&id=21
If the sky's the limit there's always the Zalman TNN300, at about €600.

Neither comes with a powersupply btw. Matching supplies may cost several hundred more depending on the model you choose (and for the Zalman there's only one model to choose from, I think their 850W heatpipe PSU but a Zalman dealer would know for sure).

>>>>Like overtaking on roundabouts
>>what idot would do that?
Many multilane roundabouts here (Interesting how a Merkin knows what a roundabout is though, it's not a term commonly used there :) ).

>>and doing 100+ on the motorways.
Nothing wrong with that. If you know your car (and especially its limitations), traffic is quiet, there are no smokies around with laserguns ;), and the road is good for it (straight, dry).

that's not fighting mosquitoes, that's admitting defeat.
You're defining your room as a place where you are, the rest of the world you give to the mozzies.

"why so many kids are incapable of thinking for themselves even in their final year at school".

And start with yourself, do a thorough analysis of how you come to be incapable of original thought.

forget about Herb Schildt's book, it's full of serious errors.

so you want us to help you with your code but we can't look at your code in order to figure out what's wrong with it...
That's never going to fly.

And oh, you're NOT supposed to want help through private messages. This is a public forum, that's what it's there for.

Also, don't bother thinking it's all so secret and valuable that people will want to steal it. It's not. If it were you wouldn't need to come here to ask for help.

no. The options are put in to make testing easier (and in some cases possible).
It allows testers to take shortcuts through the game in order to reach spots that need to be tested more quickly.

They're usually left in because changing the code to take them out after testing is complete can introduce new bugs.

revenge of the bunny killing mosquitoes?

Does have a ring to it, but it's more of a title for a mid-1980s B movie than a real blockbuster I'm afraid.

AFAIK in all of Europe all driving lessons and tests are done using manual shift vehicles, except special tests specific to automatic transmission.
If you opt for those you get a special license (at least you used to, not sure if it's still the case) restricting you to only driving cars with automatic transmission.
Those are more expensive, usually less fuel efficient, and harder to get (think rentals), so few people opt for the license (about the only people who are are those with physical disabilities preventing them from operating a manual gearbox, like people with only a single arm or leg).

no, we cannot help you.
You are quite clearly beyond help due to a case of terminal stupidity combined with a case of terminal laziness.

Failure to read this thread, failure to read the posting guidelines, failure to put in any effort whatsoever into your homework, all point to only a single conclusion: you're a total and dismal failure.

PS, what you posted was a photo of a test of a nuclear artillery shell. Sub-kiloton range.

hmm, why do you post a picture of a very small nuclear explosion when talking about a big one?

Now THIS is a BIG nuclear explosion (Ivy Mike, 12MT) ;)

If you took on more than you can swallow that's your problem, not ours.
If you wasted your time playing games when you should have been working on the assignment, that's your problem, not ours.

You say you know fuzzy logic, and know Java.
Now combine the two...

A few deaths each year in your area alone? Eek.

Several problems with West Nile:
1) it's often not diagnosed in time for treatment to be effective.
2) it's become such a big scare that any unexplained death is blamed on it unless there's clear evidence it's something else.

I don't know what affect they have on bats, who love to eat them.

There's apparently a lot of affection between bats and mosquitoes ;)

But don't worry. Bats eat mozzies, germs carried by mozzies get digested in bat stomach and are killed.

so your school blocks your "research" into pr0n sites. Why should we help you get around that?

I'd be more worried about the tectonic plates if there were no more earthquakes. It would mean they'd stopped moving which would in turn indicate the mantle no longer moves, which is the result of the earth's core having cooled down too much.
That means the loss of the earth's magnetic field, which protects us from lethal doses of cosmic radiation...

12ab is a number in my book, but my book uses hexadecimal as a numbering system ;)

So you're going to have to define what a "number" is in your world.
Next you're going to have to define how you want to input that number. If you read one token at a time you'd read 12ab as 4 distinct characters and only put them together to find out what the number was afterwards.

browsers generally save whatever they download somewhere, at least temporarilly.
But that's irrelevant, as any program that needs to parse html and interpret the results will have to download that html itself.
It's easier that way, and you don't introduce dependencies on system specific settings (like installed browsers, where those browsers cache things, if they cache things at all, etc. etc.).

and don't think that just running some samples will teach you programming (it does seem a common misconception at the moment).

get a character. If it doesn't match a character that's equivalent to a numerical character reject it.

sure. If you know how to find the data in the html of the page, there's nothing preventing you from extracting that data (except maybe knowledge of the tools you elect to use to do it).

Any programming language that can handle blocks of text will do.
Depending on the details of how you plan to find the data you may be able to use more advanced tools like regular expressions to get you to your target more quickly, but there's certainly no requirement to use them.

by using it...

Work through Head First Java (2nd edition) to start with and give you a decent background to work on.
After that, read (and try to understand) the language specification.

I honestly (for the teacher) hope it's not supposed to be in English...
Of course if it's supposed to be in English the teacher would have an easy job once his headache (from banging his head against the wall in frustration) goes away of failing OP harder than he's ever failed a kid before.

best way to fight mosquitoes is with a TLA: DDT

if it is it's an extremely poorly conceived assignment as it has very little to do with data structures, algorithms, or Java.
