please help me debug this

[alejalv]

so i wrote this recursion program that uses memoization to calculate the fibonacci numbers. it's supposed to scan a user inputted number, call the method, check to see if the number is in the array, if not store it, ad increment the counter. so i should end up with the value plus the number of calls. i hope i'm on the right track.... thanks

public class memofib
{
    static int[] list;
    static int count= 0;
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        int fib;
        int n;
        Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.println("input a number");
        n = scan.nextInt();
        System.out.println("result: " + calcFib(n) + " calls: " + count);
    }
    public static int calcFib (int n)
    {
        list = new int[100];

        count++;
        if(n<2)
            {
                int ans = n;
                return ans;
            }

        else
            {
                int ans = calcFib(n-1) + calcFib(n-2);
                if(list.contains (ans))
                    {
                        return ans;
                    }

                else
                    {
                        list[ans] = ans;
                        return ans;
                    }
 if(n<2)
            {
                int ans = n;
                return ans;
            }

        else
            {
                int ans = calcFib(n-1) + calcFib(n-2);
                if(list.contains (ans))
                    {
                        return ans;
                    }

                else
                    {
                        list[ans] = ans;
                        return ans;
                    }
            }
    }
}

nevermind the first post, i had things out of order... i thinki put them i nthe correct order but i am still getting a compile error that says missing return statement. can anyone please help me out???

import java.util.Scanner;
public class memofib
{
    static int[] list = new int[100];
    static int count= 0;
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        int fib;
        int n;
        Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.println("input a number");
        n = scan.nextInt();
        System.out.println("result: " + calcFib(n) + " calls: " + count);
    }
    public static int calcFib (int n)
    {

        count++;
        if(n<2)
            {
            int ans= n;
            return ans;
            }

        else
            {
            if(n>2)
                {
                int ans= n;
                if(list[ans]== ans)
                return list[ans];
                 }


            else
                    {
                        int ans = calcFib(n-1) + calcFib(n-2);
                        list[ans] = ans;
                        return ans;
                    }
            }
 }
}

I believe that you should write a return statement at the end of your "public static int calcFib (int n)" method. From what I have seen you have return statements in all of your if () { }, but I think that in some versions of the java you need to have a return outside of the if. Try this and If I was wrong, send the line that the error happened. And try to write using code tags.

u'r all if statments contain return at last so no need to put else it will solve u'r prob
