----------------------------------- SilverSprite Mon Jul 07, 2003 3:14 pm Prompt ----------------------------------- How do you create a prompt? ----------------------------------- rizzix Mon Jul 07, 2003 3:27 pm ----------------------------------- elaborate...? what do u mean? ----------------------------------- SilverSprite Mon Jul 07, 2003 3:43 pm ----------------------------------- i need to prompt the user to enter two integers.. how would i write a class to do that? ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Mon Jul 07, 2003 4:26 pm ----------------------------------- System.out.print would do ----------------------------------- Dan Mon Jul 07, 2003 5:46 pm ----------------------------------- int num = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter an int"); ----------------------------------- SilverSprite Mon Jul 07, 2003 6:14 pm ----------------------------------- thx dan.. ----------------------------------- rizzix Mon Jul 07, 2003 6:15 pm ----------------------------------- heh but if u use dan's method.. then u need to import the javax.swing.* classes EDIT: woops typo... corrected it ----------------------------------- SilverSprite Mon Jul 07, 2003 6:30 pm ----------------------------------- int num = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter an int"); i get an incompatible types error.. ----------------------------------- rizzix Mon Jul 07, 2003 6:56 pm ----------------------------------- it will return a string... the documentation says so. do this to conver teh string object to an int: int num = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter an int")); EDIT: based on bugzpodder recomendation.. which is the better way out.. ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Mon Jul 07, 2003 7:51 pm ----------------------------------- parseInt is the way to go. if you look on the hand out you'll see. ----------------------------------- rizzix Mon Jul 07, 2003 8:08 pm ----------------------------------- icic.. nice :o ----------------------------------- SilverSprite Mon Jul 07, 2003 9:09 pm ----------------------------------- oh.. thx all ----------------------------------- w0lv3rin3 Sat Sep 13, 2003 8:59 pm ----------------------------------- Small example inNumber1 = new DialogBox(screen,"Input first integer"); inNumber2 = new DialogBox(screen, "Input second integer"); inNumber1.showDialogBox(); number1 = inNumber1.getInteger(); inNumber2.showDialogBox(); number2 = inNumber2.getInteger(); sum = number1 + number2; difference = number1 - number2; product = number1 * number2; quotient = (float)number1 / number2; remainder = number1 % number2; screen.write("\n========================================="); screen.write("\nSum\tDifference\tProduct\tQuotient\tRemainder"); screen.write("\n"+ sum + "\t\t" + difference + "\t\t\t\t" + product + "\t\t\t" + quotient + "\t\t" + remainder); screen.write("\n=========================================\n"); ----------------------------------- rizzix Sun Sep 14, 2003 10:57 am ----------------------------------- w0lv3rin3, thats JavaScript not Java. Thanks anyways. ----------------------------------- w0lv3rin3 Sun Sep 14, 2003 11:31 am ----------------------------------- r you kidding me, ur a biggest newb, THAT IS JAVA that code i just posted. omfg, im in college right now, and my professor just taught me that code, for a beginner code. ----------------------------------- rizzix Sun Sep 14, 2003 11:41 am ----------------------------------- what packages do you need to import? That code does not look like any familiar code to me. based on the following i presumed it was javascript. you variables are not declared but directly defined. screen.write(""); is something i'm sure java does not have. anyways.. you might be using what is known as bsh or the bean shell. i don't know much of the bean shell syntax. but it's supposed to be the Java scripting language. Technically any valid java code is a valid beanshell code. but not the other way round. but if it is java that code won't compile. (as i said what packages do i need to import?) ----------------------------------- w0lv3rin3 Sun Sep 14, 2003 2:16 pm ----------------------------------- here is full code from a program I was pratcing on: packages needed are avi.* import avi.*; //this is line comment for the human eye //the compiler completely ignores comments /*this is a block comment and allows you * to put block comments. Use this style * when you need more than a line comment */ //import java.lang.*; import avi.*; public class Hello //class name { //the beginning of the class definition public static void main(String[] args) { Window screen = new Window("Testing","bold+italics","red",30); DialogBox inNumber1, inNumber2; //can do it in a seperate statement inNumber1 = new DialogBox(screen,"Input first integer"); inNumber2 = new DialogBox(screen, "Input second integer"); int number1, number2, sum, difference, product, remainder; float quotient; float fnum1 = 3.1f; double dnum1 = 3.3; short snum1 = 2; long lnum1 = 3; char cnum1 = 'q'; boolean ans = false; int example1 = 3/2; float example2 = 3/2; //how to do the right arithmetic float example3 = 3.0f/2; //alternative way float example4 = (float)3/2; float example5 = (float)3 / 2 + 4 * 6; double example6 = 3.0/2; final float PI = 3.14f; //these two statements can replace the above statement //final float PI; //PI = 3.14f; //the next statement will give compilation error //PI = 2.3f; dnum1 = fnum1;//this is allowed fnum1 = (float)dnum1;//this is not allowed, want to do it number1 = 10; number2 = 5; screen.showWindow(); //we will now use DialogBox class to take input //instead of hard coded data inNumber1.showDialogBox(); number1 = inNumber1.getInteger(); inNumber2.showDialogBox(); number2 = inNumber2.getInteger(); sum = number1 + number2; difference = number1 - number2; product = number1 * number2; quotient = (float)number1 / number2; remainder = number1 % number2; screen.write("Number1 = " + number1 + " and Number2 = " + number2); screen.write("\nSum = "+ sum); screen.write("\nDifference = "+ difference); screen.write("\nProduct = "+ product); screen.write("\nQuotient = "+ quotient); screen.write("\nRemainder = "+ remainder); screen.write("\n========================================="); screen.write("\nSum\tDifference\tProduct\tQuotient\tRemainder"); screen.write("\n"+ sum + "\t\t" + difference + "\t\t\t\t" + product + "\t\t\t" + quotient + "\t\t" + remainder); screen.write("\n=========================================\n"); screen.write("Example1 = " + example1); screen.write("\nExample2 = " + example2); screen.write("\nExample3 = " + example3); screen.write("\nExample4 = " + example4); screen.write("\nExample5= " + example5); screen.write("\nExample6= " + example6); screen.write("\nDouble = " + dnum1); screen.write("\nFloat = " + fnum1); screen.write("\nHello to all of you"); // System.out.println("Hello to all of you"); } } ----------------------------------- rizzix Sun Sep 14, 2003 9:20 pm ----------------------------------- o ok.. ur using non-standard packages.. ur ehm.. college provides. thats cool. although you can learn java with the standard packages. ----------------------------------- nate Mon Sep 15, 2003 9:48 pm ----------------------------------- for a college student you sure don't know your grammar. ur a biggest newb ----------------------------------- Tony Mon Sep 15, 2003 9:59 pm ----------------------------------- yeah... there should be a rule that when you post java code that implements non standart packages, please include all the "include..." lines so the rest of us wouldn't have to guess :wink: maybe rizzix should write it up, he knows Java better then I do ----------------------------------- rizzix Wed Sep 17, 2003 4:27 pm ----------------------------------- yea i'd agree tony. there are far too many java-like scripting variants that look similar to java. it get's pretty confusing at times. I mean java code is 100% bean shell compatible yet not the other way round (i.e bsh code is not 100% java compatible). speaking of which do check out this awsome scripting language @ www.beanshell.org .. and don't be to hard on that dude, he probably got offended for some reason :?
