add em up revised

[ZaneDarklace]

I have figured out how to do this. All that is needed is the .useDelimeter error. help?

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class AddEmUp{public static void main(String args[])
{
`Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.print("Enter something like 8 + 33 + 1,345 - 137 : ");String s = sc.nextLine();

`if((s.charAt(0)!='+')&&(s.charAt(0)!='-'))

 `s = "+" + s;

Scanner sc1=new Scanner(s);sc1.useDelimeter("\s\+\s|\s-\s");

`int sum = 0;

while(sc1.hasNextInt()){`

 `if(sc1.findInLine("\\s*\\+\\s*")!=null)

   `sum = sum + sc1/nextInt();
 `else
   `sc1.nextInt();

}

Scanner sc2 = new Scanner(s);sc2.useDelimeter("\s\+\s|\s-\s");

while(sc2.hasNextInt()){`

 `if(sc2.findInLine("\\s*-\\s*")!=null)

   `sum=sum - sc2.nextInt();
 `else
   `sc2.nextInt();

}
System.out.println("Sum is: " +sum);}}`

Literal \ characters in Java Strings need to be "escaped" - ie replaced with a double \
You did that in the findInLine, but not in your useDelimiter

[ZaneDarklace]

It must not have posted correctly. In my code that i have on my computer i have a double \ in the useDelimeter

[JamesCherrill]

OK, in that case, after another look I can see the problem. Check the API documentation for Scanner, you have mis-spelled the name of the method.
Next time please post (copy/paste) the complete text of your error message(s) - that would have enabled me to identify the fault immediately.

[ZaneDarklace]

My appologies. How do I correctly spell the method?

[JamesCherrill]

It's in the API documentation, which should be open on your desktop all the time you are writing anything in Java. It's your absolutly essential reference doc.

Thank You this helps a lot.

Please mark as Solved.
Glad your issue was fixed.

[ZaneDarklace]

I have tried to mark it solved. I believe that my computer will not let me mark it.

[JamesCherrill]

Its the pale blue button "Mark Question Solved" just below the entry field for submitting a reply, which is just below this message.

[ZaneDarklace]

i clicked it multiple times. it still doesnt mark it.

[JamesCherrill]

That's odd, but never mind - I'll mark it for you.
