About Calculate....

You can already fix the points I mentionned in my previous message, this was detailed enough for you to understand the problems. You don't expect us to write the program for you, do you ?

thanks again.. l dont wont u to write all the program for for but to guide me Fix the errors is all what l need..but thanks alot for ur time becouse this's my first time of sending a code in this forum...

Try here[^] for some good tutorials that will help you with your problem.

I must get a clever new signature for 2011.

[Khalil Adam]

Mr. Cedric please a question? 1- how should make the sign veriable work and? 2- how to initialize those to variables( num1 and num2)?

[Cedric Moonen]

Initialize your variables at the beginning of the program by reading ONCE the command line arguments: only do this of course if the number of arguments match, otherwise you exit the program with an error. BTW, you have another problem: you are expecting 3 command line arguments but you retrieve four of them (num3 is initialized with args[3], which is out of bounds).

//l've change the code but still 1 error has been occur public static void main(String [] args) { String sign; int num1; int num2; //int num3; int ans; System.out.print("Enter your Calculations =>: \n"); sign = in.nextLine(); if(args.Length == 3) { num1 = Integer.parseInt(args[0]); sign = (args [1].equal("1")); num2 = Integer.parseInt(args[2]); //num3 = Integer.parseInt(args[3]); System.out.println("Answer = "+ ans); }else if(args[0].equal("+")) { ans1 = num1 + num2; System.out.println("num1 "+ "num2 " = ans); } else if(args[1].equal("-")) { ans2 = num1 - num2; System.out.println("num1 "- "num2 "= ans); } else if(args[2].equal("/")) { ans3 = num1 / num2; System.out.println("num1 "/ "num2 "= ans); } System.err.println("Try Again"); } } }

[Cedric Moonen]

Please refer to the first part of my initial message (code formating and providing information about your problem). You should put your else conditions inside the first if (and replace the first else condition by an else condition). In your example you are checking if you have 3 arguments and only if that's not the case you will check the sign argument.

Mr. Cedric, I think u've tried alot best for me but l did try what u said and l got 3 error. anyway,l appreciate very well for ur help since am a beginner in java and once l cant compile this code those not make me to stop learning?please if u get anytime,try and correct this code for another people to lean from it? remain bless always from God.. I'll go back and learn the tutorials...thanks.

The tutorials (see the link I provided) will get you to the answers faster and better than struggling with the above sample. You obviously have some gaps in your knowledge of some of the basic concepts, and should learn and understand those first before you try to write a program like the one above. Starting at the beginning will get you up to speed much faster than trying to start from the middle.

please if u get anytime,try and correct this code for another people to lean from it? come on! If you're just searching for the code, go to google. This is a simple code used in training throughout the world, nearly every learner has to do this task at a certain point while learning. How are you trying to compile the code? You should use eclipse or netbeans - those are freeware and should help you a lot along your way. What do those editors say if you try to compile your code? Most times it should be fairly easy to figure out the errors. Even automatic help is often granted! regards Torsten

I never finish anyth...

[Khalil Adam]

l've done it the code has compiled?

[Khalil Adam]

Mr. Cedric Moonen :) bellow is the code that l did compile and it works perfectly..thanks alot..

public class Calculate { public static void main(String[] args) { double x,y; if (args.length == 3) { x = Double.parseDouble(args[0]); y = Double.parseDouble(args[2]); if(args[1].equals("+")) { System.out.println("Answer = "+ (x + y)); }else if(args[1].equals("-")) { System.out.println("Answer = "+ (x - y)); }else if(args[1].equals("/")) { System.out.println("Answer = "+ (x / y)); }else if(args[1].equals("x")) { System.out.println("Answer = "+ (x * y)); } }else System.out.println("Do it again......"); } }
