Okay, so I am trying to write a program which uses the Myers-Briggs personality test to turn this:
Snoopy
AABAAAAAAAAAAAABAAAABAAAAAAAAAAAABAAAABAAABABABAABAAAAAABAAAAAABAAAAAA
Charlie Brown
AAABBAABBABBBAABAAAABABABBAAAABABBBBABBBABAABABAABABAAABABAAABBAABABBB
Linus
AABBAABBBBBABAABBBBABABBABAAAABABBABABBAABAABABAABABBBBBBBAAAAAAABBBBB
Lucy
BABBAAABBBBAAABAAAAAABBBAABAAAAABBBAAABAAAAABABAAAABAABBBBAAABBAABABBB
Peppermint Patty
BBBBAAABBBBABBBAAAAAABBBAABAAAAABBBAAABAAAAABABAAAABAABBBBAAABBAABABBB
Into this:
Snoopy:
6A-4B 17A-3B 18A-2B 18A-2B
[40%, 15%, 10%, 10%] = ISTJ
Charlie Brown:
7A-3B 11A-9B 9A-11B 10A-10B
[30%, 45%, 55%, 50%] = ISFP
Linus:
6A-4B 7A-13B 8A-12B 11A-9B
[40%, 65%, 60%, 45%] = INFJ
Lucy:
5A-5B 11A-9B 14A-6B 11A-9B
[50%, 45%, 30%, 45%] = ESTJ
Peppermint Patty:
5A-5B 10A-10B 14A-6B 9A-11B
[50%, 50%, 30%, 55%] = ENTP
My code presently looks like this (sorry for the mess. I am presently not the cleanest of coders, as you will be able to tell):
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class MyersBriggs{
public static final int Define = 0;
public static final int SecondSet1 = 1; //to avoid magic numbers
public static final int SecondSet2 = 2;
public static final int ThirdSet1 = 3;
public static final int ThirdSet2 = 4;
public static final int FourthSet = 5;
public static final int Test = 6; //check what category question falls into
public static void main (String[] args){
Scanner console = new Scanner (System.in);
File f = getFile( console );
processFile(f);
}
public static File getFile( Scanner keyboard ) {
System.out.print( "Enter name of file to be processed: " );
String fileName = keyboard.nextLine();
File f = new File( fileName );
System.out.println();
return f;
}
public static void processFile(File f)throws FileNotFoundException{
Scanner input = new Scanner (f);
while (input.hasNextLine()){
int SnA = 0;
int SnB = 0;
String text = input.nextLine();
while (( text.charAt(0) == "S")||(text.charAt(0) == "L")||(text.charAt(0) == "P")){
text.nextLine();
}
int numberOfChar = text.length();
int intro = 0; //subject is introverted
int extro = 0; //subject is extroverted
int sense = 0; //guided by senses
int intui = 0; //guided by intuition
int think = 0; //focus on thinking
int feeli = 0; //focus on feeling
int judge = 0; //prefer to judge
int perce = 0; //guided by perception
int i=0;
for (i=0; i<numberOfChar; i++){
//determine whether person chose introverted or extroverted
if ((i==Define)||((i%Test==Define))){
if (text.charAt(i)=="A"){
intro++;
}
else {
extro++;
}
}
//determine whether person chose sense or intuition
else if (((i-SecondSet1)==Define)||((i-SecondSet2)==Define)||((i-SecondSet1)%
Test==Define)||((i-SecondSet2)%Test==Define)){
if (text.charAt(i)=="A"){
sense++;
}
else {
intui++;
}
}
else if((i-ThirdSet1==Define)||(i-ThirdSet2==Define)||((i-ThirdSet1)%Test==Define)
||((i-ThirdSet2)%Test==Define)){
if (text.charAt(i)=="A"){
think++;
}
else {
feeli++;
}
}
else {
if (text.charAt(i)=="A"){
judge++;
}
else {
perce++;
}
}
}
}
}
}I am getting 8 errors, which look like this:

8 errors
and when I try to run it, I get the message: No main methods, applets, or MILIets (or MIDlets. I can't tell) found in file.
Does anyone know of any way I can fix this? I've been racking my brain and testing possible fixes, but I have not come up with a solution.
(Sorry for the inordinately long post. I just wanted to provide as much information as possible)(I also apologize for not adding nearly as many comments in the code as I know I need)
