FractionCalculator StringTokenizer with parsing DUE IN 4 HOURS

Whenever I input fractions I just get back my own error message, (the error message I send as System.err.println("There was an error in your input, try again."); ) or nothing at all. I think it might be a problem with my output code but I'm not sure. I'm not having a program crash error message or system error message. The error message I'm talking about is the one I have set up in case someone does something stupid like 2/3 ++ 1/3.

Code Java:

import java.util.*;
public class Fractioncalculator {
	public static void main(String[] args){
		boolean quit = false;							//boolean for recognition of quit command
		boolean error = false;
		String inputstr = null;
		Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
 
		//Loop for input of problem and output of solution
 
	while(quit==false){
		int iterator = 31;						//iterator for reduction of end result
		int first_whole_int = 0;				//first whole integer
		int firstnum = 0;						//first numerator
		int firstdenom = 0;						//first denominator
		int second_whole_int = 0;				//second whole integer
		int secondnum = 0;						//second numerator
		int seconddenom = 0;					//second denominator
		char operator;							//operator storage
		int cmndenom = 0;						//common denominator
		int finalint = 0;						//final integer
		int finalnum = 0;						//final numerator
		int finaldenom = 0;						//final denominator
		//Request for input
 
		System.out.println("Please enter your fractions: ");
		inputstr = sc.nextLine();
		if(inputstr.equals("quit")){											//check if quit received
			quit = true;
		}
		StringTokenizer errorst = new StringTokenizer(inputstr, " ");
		if(errorst.countTokens()!=3){
			error = true;
		}
		else {

Re: FractionCalculator StringTokenizer with parsing DUE IN 4 HOURS

DUE IN 4 HOURS,

As i am guessing from your name your assignment is due in soon. Now, i'm also going to assume you have probably cross-posted this on many forums in the hope of getting a response. Also, I am going to assume that you have skipped reading the forum rules,

Announcements - What's Wrong With My Code?

Perhaps if you give those a read, and then take the time to provide error messages, an indication of where the code is crashing etc etc we will be able to provide help.

Regards,
Chris

Re: FractionCalculator StringTokenizer with parsing DUE IN 4 HOURS
Code :

if(finalint!=0 && finaldenom!=1 && finaldenom!=0 && finalint>0) why are you saying if finalint is NOT 0 AND finalint is greater then 0.. its the same thing unless it goes negative. Try removing one.
yeah, i don't think repetition is causing a problem but i tried deleting it anyway and it didn't fix the problem.

Re: FractionCalculator StringTokenizer with parsing DUE IN 4 HOURS
take a look at this demo ive just done on console reading / writing:
Code :

public demo() throws Exception{ // GET FIRST NUMBER Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("Please enter your first fraction: "); String inputstr = sc.nextLine(); // TESTING IF INPUT ENTERED IS 444 if(inputstr.equals("444")){ System.out.println("Works!"); } // GET SECOND VALUE System.out.println("Please enter your second fraction: "); String second = sc.nextLine(); }
Now i've had a play around with your code, It seems that your not parsing the data that the user is giving u into a variable.

try creating 3 different number variables..

when your scanning the console.. make sure that you put
VARIABLE = sc.readLine();

Because as ive said.. the problem looks like the 3 end int values your trying to process are always staying as 0...

You may also ask for a OPERATOR after every number they have entered... and get that.

Re: FractionCalculator StringTokenizer with parsing DUE IN 4 HOURS

Correct me if im wrong but.. is this not what you're trying to do only simplified?

Code :

	public demo() throws Exception{
		// CREATE SCANNER
		Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
 
		// GET FIRST NUMBER
		System.out.println("Please enter your first number: ");
		int first = Integer.parseInt(sc.nextLine());
 
		// GET FIRST OPERATOR
		System.out.println("Please enter your first operator: ");
		String fOP = sc.nextLine();
 
		// GET SECOND NUMBER
		System.out.println("Please enter your second number: ");
		int second = Integer.parseInt(sc.nextLine());
 
		// GET SECOND OPERATOR
		System.out.println("Please enter your second operator: ");
		String sOP = sc.nextLine();
 
		// GET THIRD NUMBER
		System.out.println("Please enter your third number: ");
		int third = Integer.parseInt(sc.nextLine());
 
 
		System.out.println("The total value =  ");
	}

Only thing left for you to do there is to convert the operators so that they can read.. and put the numbers together with the specified operators entered.. Gutta leave something for you to do lol :D

no this is a fraction calculator 2/3 + 1/3 + 1_2/3 not an integer calculator 1 + 2 + 3

Re: FractionCalculator StringTokenizer with parsing DUE IN 4 HOURS

simply change the value of first, second and third to String or w.e ur wanting lol :D I've clearly said that this is for demo only.

As i've said tho try actualy sending the values from the console to a variable.. might help.

I'm not here to complete your homework, I'm simply here to point you in the correct direction... remember that.

You need to actually learn yourself rather then me simply giving the code to you, What will you do once you've finished java? so please follow mine and others guides that we display to you and learn the appropriate skills.

As i've said:

You're problem is:
You are not parsing the entered data into a variable.. A variable that you are trying to calculate that is.. So hence the values of the 3 end variables are null..

Please try doing a
System.out.println(VARIABLE NAME);

under your custom error message.. You will then see the values of the 2 variables are null..

It just looks like you trying to scan a line that isnt there... How can it scan the line if the user has not made input?

I would use:

Code :

String demo = System.console().readLine(); OR String demo = System.console().reader().read();

Which ever one works lol.. been awhile since ive made console based programs, If im helpful please remember to thank me =/ even though you should be doing your assignment yourself.

Re: FractionCalculator StringTokenizer with parsing DUE IN 4 HOURS

try saying

int firstnum;
int secondnum;
int thirdnum;

and then simply under your custom error message type
System.out.println(firstnum + " " + secondnum + " " + thirdnum);

You will then see what the values of those numbers are on the console.. if the output posts null that means that i was correct and that you need to listen to my previous advice....

Re: FractionCalculator StringTokenizer with parsing DUE IN 4 HOURS

True it's just that when you first declare firstnum = 0...

its hard to do the debugging, Hence if you remove the = 0

Then if the next line doesn't go through properly you can see that firstnum is equal to null...

Otherwise it wills how 0 on the console and you wont know if it had calculated something or not unles you did further debugging.. so the easiest way is doin the above..

Re: FractionCalculator StringTokenizer with parsing DUE IN 4 HOURS

i added System.out.println(firstnum + " " + secondnum + " " + finalnum); to run after the error message and then input 2/3 + 1/3 which should produce an error because my calculator asks for 3 different numbers/fractions and System.out.println(firstnum + " " + secondnum + " " + finalnum); gave me 2 1 1

Re: FractionCalculator StringTokenizer with parsing DUE IN 4 HOURS

There you go... you've got the debugging now.. work out how you would fix that..

As ive said i will not help complete home work.. Now that you know what the outcome is doing.. try changing it and working out why that this is giving you that output.

1 major step in java is the debugging, Maybe its reading the second value twice as you have not entered a third fraction, Try doing a third and seing if the anwser shows of the final..

etc... work it out from there. take your code step by step.

EDIT:
There you go.. as i have been saying for the last 2000 posts lol.. You must initialize the variables.. dont just say = 0; as ull never know if your codes working or not.

Remember before you start all your if statements you've got to write code to initialize all those values..

Re: FractionCalculator StringTokenizer with parsing DUE IN 4 HOURS

Can you just read my posts and follow them O_O... nobody here will "give you the code" java can be frustrating at times, We all deal with it.

If what you are doing is beginner java which it looks like it is due to the code.. You're code should really be under 50 lines long..

Your if statements should be else if... and your code is just a mess mate.. as ive said 1000 times follow what ive said.. you'll find the awnser yourself and be proud that you learnt a new trick ;)

Re: FractionCalculator StringTokenizer with parsing DUE IN 4 HOURS

OP, I highly suggest you stop mentioning your deadline. There are hundreds of posts here, each with its own urgent user waiting on a response, and your time is not more valuable than theirs, or ours for that matter. If you are facing a deadline, I assume your time would be better spent actually reading the responses you've received, trying things out, and following the advice in the article I posted, instead of making more posts complaining about your deadline. Chances are, you're going to have to chalk this one up to a lesson learned about time management.
