sorry.... had my wisdom tooth removed yesterday and it's a bit controlling at the moment :mad:

anyway!



Of course, nice one.

posted early... editing now!

Right, is this in a way analogous to a folder system in a GUI? (I should probably stay away from using GUI as examples with this but it seemed to fit....) The highest most 'folder' (or parent class)...

Ah yeah of course...count from zero




Yeah I left that blank for some reason...



Cool - I've seen these method's with Strings as well I think.

FarmClass

public class FarmClass {

List<Animal> animalList = new ArrayList<Animal>();


I've made that, but I'm struggling with everything else...

Ace... Times vanished in the UK, I should be able to read up on stuff and have a stab at this before work tomorrow though... :)

Ace, well here's the Animal class (I used Eclipse to generate the getters.... not sure if this is a not-to-do...):


public abstract class Animal {

public String sound;
public String name;
...

Ace cheers mcgr - have read through the post a couple of times...

So an interface - contain's all of the instance variables that are going to be used in further classes, If someone was making an...

Ah of course, that'll be the easier way to do that! Although typing exit



Yes - I've seen this before with a continue statement, completely forgot about it... handy :)



Ok cool - it...

I don't really see how the nested if statement can break out of the for loop? Because it's nested won't it just break out of the if statement back into the for loop etc...?

OK wow I just tried it...

Just looking at this... going to have a bash. I think that I'm removing all the count int's and replacing them with this <list> interface. Going to try that now.

--- Update ---

Cool that's...

Not really - where has the userAnimal variable come from? or is that created by invoking that method?

Ahhhh I see you've created a String variable then passed that into myFarm.promptUser();
...

Will try this now - I'm creating a main method separate to the FarmClass. I thought that the scanner in the promptUser() method of the FarmClass was capturing the users input..?

Does this mean...

I'll have a bash at creating the other classes now.... I'll post back when I'm done!

--- Update ---

Ok I've made those...

I'm still kind of waiting for the dot's to join up around the...

I think the version where the Scanner is integrated into the class and rather than the main method seem's more 'proper' for some reason? I really don't know though.





OK, so I've put that...

cool.




This seem's alright, though I'm not too sure how they will be set up, how the count's will be tracked. I'm guessing that pigCount will = 0 and be incremented by every creation of Pig. ...

No offence, I'm just surprised at my incapacity being brought into question! ;)

Really???



Ha ok then let's try this....

Parts that I think I'm going to need

Main method - no explanation

The main priority with this is learn, so If someone was to say "you'd be much better off writing a program that list's farm yard animal's" then I'd go off and do that, I don't have any criteria to...

Hmm I'm looking at this again and I'm not sure what I'm doing to be honest (perhaps it was a bit of a leap....)

I've written a class called Question and I've extended it to TablesTest..... I'm...

Right OK I've read through the example that you've posted:

I'm not really that au fait with the arrays being used in the for loop, If I look at each bit individually it kind of makes sense but...

just going to read through that post, this is what I started with (before I delete it...)



import java.util.Scanner;

public class UserQuestion {

public UserQuestion() {

cheers mcgr - I guess that I'll have two classes then. So there'll be

1 : Main Method
2 : Question Class
3 : TimesTableQuestion class

I wasn't sure if the TimesTQuestion class would have to...

Hey greg back from work (shifts suck...) and going to start this... I'm thinking that It would be best to start a project from scratch for it. New I think's best...

I'm reading through what...

Hey Greg, just off to work myself :(

But yes, I was thinking about making it into one the generated a problem instead of it being hard coded. Could be a multiplication table, or basic mixed...
