Array questions

Oh, now I see how classes can be really useful. I'll probably dive into this stuff when I learn Java sometime soon hopefully. Thanks for the advice and examples!

IF you ever get to that stage, you should look this up: http://processing.org/

It's simple like turing and it's structured very similarly, but it has the power and syntax of Java.

Learn turing first though

Well I'm going to need to learn Java too, since my co-op in 8 months will be using Java, plus my computers course in the fall will be in Java, so I'd like to get a bit of a head start before that class starts. The questions isn't IF I get to that stage, it's WHEN.

Well in that case, you're probably better off actually learning Java rather than something close to java

also yay 1000 posts

That's what I was thinking, and gratz! I'll catch up to ya soon!

This here was one of my major OOP assignments in grade 12 compsci, it isn't that hard but its just to give a feel on what it looks like

code:

ICS4U ? Object Orientation Assignment Part 2 ? Novel Knights and Wicked Wizards The world contains two types of humans: knights and wizards. Humans can be represented in the world as small squares. Knights are blue and Wizards are red. The relationship between Humans, Knights and Wizards can be described by the following hierarchy: All humans can perform certain actions as described by the following interface:

code:

Part 1: Write an abstract Human class that implements the Human interface above. You?ll need to include the interface in your project. Your abstract Human should conform to the following class summary box: Class: Human Private Instance Variables: String name, int age, double height, int health, int xPos, int yPos Public Instance Methods: constructor void move(int x, int y) int getXPos int getYPos int getHealth boolean setHealth String toString String getName void setName int getAge boolean setAge double getHeight boolean setHeight void draw (Pen p) Public Class Variables: double LOW_HEIGHT, double HIGH_HEIGHT, int LOW_AGE, int HIGH_AGE, int LOW_HEALTH, int HIGH_HEALTH, int NUM_HUMANS Public Class Methods: int getNumHumans void setNumHumans String getAgeRules String getHeightRules String getHealthRules Part 2: Implement the Knight and Wizard classes as described in the class summary boxes below. Class: Wizard Private Instance Variables: int magicka Public Instance Methods: constructor void draw(Pen p) void castSpell String toString boolean setMagicka (int m) int  getMagicka boolean equals(Wizard w) Wizard clone Public Class Variables: int LOW_MAGICKA, int HIGH_MAGICKA Public Class Methods: String getMagickaRules Class: Knight Private Instance Variables: String horseName Public Instance Methods: constructor String toString void draw(Pen p) void setHorse (String n) String getHorseName boolean equals(Knight k) Knight clone Public Class Variables: none Public Class Methods: none Part 3: Write a test program World, which:         0. Declares 4 Humans.         1. Instantiates a Knight         2. Instantiates a Wizard  and moves it.         3. Clones the Knight  and changes its name         4. Checks if the Knight clone is not equal to the original Knight, and if so:                 a) Moves the clone         5. Clones the Wizard         6. Checks if the Wizard clone is equal to the original Wizard, and if so:                 a) Moves the clone         7. Draws both Knights and both Wizards         8. Prints the total number of Humans living in this World.         9. Prints a description of all Humans to the console.

It looks like they've written half the thing for you! Interesting though, thanks for posting.
