    Exclamation Physics Program

    i need a simple physics formula. F=ma. Please create a program that has you input the mass and the acceleration and return the force. PLEASE i need this by monday. If you can please answer my other thread i need that too. Also add comments to each line of code about what it does with a // and then the cod. Much aprecciated.

    Scanner sin = new Scanner(System.in);
    double m = sin.nextDouble();
    double a = sin.nextDouble();
     
    System.out.println("F = " + (m*a) );

    You are honestly telling me you can't do that. The information is there, and it would have been the first thing you were taught on your course. I have no problem helping people, but you are showing you have done no work at all, and quite frankly I don't want a bunch of retards walking around with Qualifications they don't know a thing about.

    Regards,
    Chris

    System.out.println("Please input mass.);
    a=SavitchIn.readLineDouble();
    System.out.println("Please input acceleration");
    Force f = new Force(a,b);
    return f;
    }

    How's that? It's a start right.

    What is savitchIn defined as? (post all your code) that way I can see your Force class too.

    You can edit your posts too, and please you code tags [ code ] [ /code ] ( without spaces )

    savitch.In is the java code that can be exchaged for something else. I use Blujay and my computer is pregrammed to accept savitch.In i do not know the exact word. And about the class, that's where i get iffi. Send me a random class and i can make it into the Force class but I'm not sure how to exactly construct a class. I'm really sorry. I have tried but none of the stuff i learn seems to stick.

    class Force{
         public Force(double a, double b){
              // some code here
         }
    }//end of class

    Theres a basic class called force, with a constructor to match your call...

    You can't have global variables defined within a function

    class Force{
         public int mass;
         public int acceleration;//is that right?
         public Force(double a, double b){
     
         }
    }//end of class

    i simply want a program in which it prompts you to enter the mass and the acceleration and then it returns the force. what is hard to understand about that?

    i just want him to put the code that is required to do the formula for F=ma. If you can please do it and notate it. This is my final project for programming class and i have just barely been getting by. I know now that I am not meant to be a programmer I want to be an Engineer but I aslo want to pass this class. So please just write the code and write what each line does.

    {
    Public int CalculateForce(double first, double second)
    {
    return first * second
    }
    Public Static void main(String args[])
    {
    Force formula=new Force();
    Scanner read=new Scanner(System.in)
    double a=0
    double b=0
    a=read.nextDouble();
    b=read.nextDouble();
    system.out.println("The Force is " + formula.CaclulateForce(a,b));
    }
    }

    Im not cut out to be a programmer either. Actually nobody is. It just depends on how much effort you put in. Study outside of class.

    your above code included alot of uneccessary stuff. This is the simplest most straightforward solution.

    Sorry to bother again but when i try to compile it stops me at double a=0 and it says ";" expected so i added the semicolon but it still says the same thing. any ideas.
