The thing is, people here are reluctant to just give away complete source code. It's just asking for plagiarism, and we don't want to alienate teachers because we believe that compsci.ca can be a great learning tool.

If we help with plagiarism, teachers will tell students not to frequent this site and we'll lose an opportunity to help.

My teacher told me that I may use someone elses code, although I might lose some marks because the code is not completely mine, but I have to give them credit for it. So if you do decide to help me, I will guarantee you that I will place comment lines stating that I received this portion of code from you.

sry the code i posted last time was slitely buggy.. sory for the inconvenience

code:

int num=1111;         char hexletter[17]="0123456789ABCDEF";         char hex;         hex=hexletter[(num/125)+((num%1000)-(num%100))/25+((num%100)-(num%10))/5+(num%10)];

this only works for four digit binary numbers

When I use this code I get a Syntax Error: Unexpected Symbol Ignored on this part char hexletter[17]="0123456789ABCDEF";

What are you using to compile this?

Are you using the standard Java tools from Sun, or Ready to Program?

[Andy]

i dunno that code works fine in c++.. i dont have a java compiler installed so i couldnt test it... wtd does it work with eclipse or jcreator?

[rizzix]

jeez. why would that matter? huh?

[java]

I use Ready to Program

Then what am I supposed to do?

The problem has nothing to do with the compiler. Andy wrote C++ code. You need to convert that to Java. You need to know how to use strings in Java. e.g. instead of:

code:

char hexletter[17]="0123456789ABCDEF";

use:

code:

String hexletter="0123456789ABCDEF";

There are other minor changes, but you need to know enough Java to overcome them.

wait.. so u cant have an character array style string in java?

[rizzix]

no u can only have a character style array in java:

code:

char[4] theChars = {'a', 'b', 'c', '\0'};

[Andy]

Oooo.. the [] has to be beside the char.. thats y it didnt work on my friends compiler.. thx rizzix

[java]

a
a

[Andy]

read what rizzix wrote, and use that instead of my way of declaring the character array.. if u still dont get it then post here.. but at least try yourself

I read what he wrote about the char array, but I don't understand it. I'm not the best at Java, so can you help me out by telling me what to put in my code and where. That would really help me out because I've been trying but getting no-where.
