    Default a very confusing exception

    Problem:
    line 191 to 200
    static void plotsolution(int kmax) {
    		System.out.printf("\n\n");
     
    	    for(int k=0; k<=kmax; k++)
    	    { 
    	    	System.out.printf("%7.5f \t %7.5e \t %7.5e \n", k*dt, y[0][k], y[2][k]);
     
    	    }
     
    	}

    variable declaration
    static  double[][]  y;                        /* vectors for storing solution      */
    static double dt;                             /* DELTA*/

    exeption information
    HTML Code:
    Exception in thread "main" java.util.UnknownFormatConversionException: Conversion = 'l'

    actually there is nothing at line 517 except a bracket
    It makes me just so confusing!!!!!!!!!

    it will be so good to get some help from you


     
    public static void main(String[] args){
     
    		    /* initialize the simulation */
     
    		    eerror=0.0;
    		    totcnt  = 0;
    		   y=new double[3][kmax+2];
     
     
     
    		    for (int k = 0; k < 3; k++) {
    		    	//..........................
    		        for (int j = 0; j < kmax+2; j++) 
    		        	y[k][j] = 0.0;
    		    }
     
     
    		    /* first loop: iteration over all kmax time steps*/
    		    for (int k = 1; k <= kmax+1; k++) {
     
     
    		        /* second loop: iterating over all proxels of a time step */
    		        while (root[1-sw] != null)
    		        {
    		            y[s][k-1] += val;
     
    .....................................
     
    		    System.out.printf("error = %7.5e\n", eerror); 
     
    		    System.out.printf("ccpx = %d\n", maxccp);
    		    System.out.printf("count = %d\n", totcnt);
    		    System.out.printf("count = %d\n", defective);
     
    		    plotsolution(kmax);
    		    //return 0;
                        }
    }

    The line 517 is the sentence y[s][k-1] += val; which placed in the second loop.
    I have tested the exception causing codes in a simplified test program.It runs ok.


    I copy here the whole program that can be easily executed.

    If you want help, you'll have to provide an SSCCE that demonstrates the problem- in your case, a main method containing a single printf statement with the values that cause the Exception.

    The line 517 is the sentence y[s][k-1] += val; which placed in the second loop.
    I have tested the exception causing codes in a simplified test program.It runs ok.

    Looks to me like your while loop is missing a closing bracket...


    All intelligent thoughts have already been thought;
    what is necessary is only to try to think them again.

    Which of the 4 printf statements that you posted gives the error?
    Could you change the posted code so it has only one printf that has the problem?

    Make a simple complete program that will compile, execute and show the problem.

    Default Re: a very confusing exception

    actually all these four print methods in main method call no exception,they just can not print out

    the exception message lies in these two lines where I have already showed:

    y[s][k-1] += val;(line 517)
    System.out.printf("%7.5f \t %7.5e \t %7.5e \n", k*dt, y[0][k], y[2][k]);(line 195)

    when I change the position of the codes a little.Sometimes the exception line number points to a comment even.

    The problem in post#1 was a runtime exception NOT a compiler problem. If you are still getting that exception and want help with it, you need to post a complete program that compiles, executes and shows the problem.

    Can you make a small simple program that compiles, executes and shows the problem? Copy the part that is the problem into a small program, don't post the whole program (over 500+ lines) that is mostly not part of the problem.

    I have cutted my program a little shorter.What really matters to the exception here is the block where exists a plotsolution function,some relative variables declaration and the system.out.printf() in the main method.In all about 20 lines,others can be omitted.

    Thank you very much

    Can you post the full contents of the screen from when you execute the program?

    Where is the small program for testing? What number post is it in? I would expect the program to be less than 30 lines of code.

    the small program ensures the syntical correctness of sentence:
    for(int k=0; k<=kmax; k++)
    {
    System.out.printf("%7.5f \t %7.5e \t %7.5e \n", k*dt, y[0][k], y[2][k]);

    }

    is that possible just focus on the lines that cause exceptions,I don not understand the exception.
    What means Conversion = 'l' I have not used this symbol in format output .

    Try debugging the code by adding a call to println() just before the call to printf() and have it print out the values of the variables used in the printf() method call. That will show what the values are that are being formatted.

    Are you working with a different program? I don't see what this line would output in what you posted:
    System.out.printf("error = %7.5e\n", eerror);

    That is just one of things that confused me.I am also not able to get the output of variable eerror in my program.And when I try to debug it,every time "source not found" will be showed.But the codes after it works well.I will try debug once more with println

    If you work with one source and post another source here there is no way anyone can help you find and fix the problem.

    What prints out when you add the println just before the printf where the error occurs?

    they are just the same! but cutted from 500+ to 400+ by eliminating some branch codes.after using println,error still does not output

    I do NOT get any errors with the code you posted. Since it is different code from what you are using, its a waste of time when the code is NOT identical.

    really appreciate for your time.
    I put the original codes upon here.By cutting the program to a relative simple one having caused some changes which influenced the error.
    If you have to execute the following program,you will just get what I can see.Sorry for that,I am a newbee for asking question like that in forum.it is really not so easy.

    Also from shortening the codes I have got some ideas about debugging.But the problem is still there,it will be much better if you can give a hand.

    Default Re: a very confusing exception

    What prints out when you add the println just before the printf where the error occurs?
    there is no use by putting println
    If you do not want to do the above then I can not help you any more. You need to add the printlns to show what the data is before the printf has the exception

    better if you can give a hand.
    Add the println, execute the program and post the output here. I need the output from your program to see what is happening.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Oh god.Do you mean put "System.out.println(k*dt+ y[0][k]+ y[2][k]);" before the exception calling line and "System.out.println( eerror);"

    Of course,I have done it.But it does not make any changes to the output results.If I can get the output there will not be any confusion. I can even not get the value from variables in debugging.It seems not to be a format problem.Or?

    Change the println to this so it prints the three values and not their sum:
    System.out.println(k*dt+ " " + y[0][k]+" " + y[2][k]);

    Execute the code, copy the output and paste it here.

    I can even not get the data from debugging.
    What does that mean? Are you putting the println in the correct place?
    It should be before the line where the exception occurs.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
