    Default What exactly is this asking me to do?

    Download Instructions.pdf for free on uploading.com

    Those are the instructions for what we are supposed to be doing. I have the GUI setup and everything but is it just supposed to add a particular string into the proper places when Config 1 and 2 and such are pressed? Its so confusing the way its worded. Any help would be appreciated.

    I, for one, don't like to click outside links like that. What wording are you having trouble understanding?

    Yea sorry I could email the file if you want, its kind of hard to explain it all.

    Heres the layout.



    And heres what the configs are.

    2.4.1 The batteries
    Your simulation will include 8 Battery objects:
     Batteries 1 and 2 are of type AA, rechargeable;
     Battery 3 is of type AA, not rechargeable;
     Batteries 4 and 5 are of type AAA, not rechargeable;
     Battery 6 is of type C, rechargeable;
     Batteries 7 and 8 are of type C, not rechargeable.
    2.4.2 The devices
    Your simulation will include 6 devices:
    1. a small flashlight;
    2. a medium flashlight;
    3. a large flashlight;
    4. a radio;
    5. a battery charger;
    6. another battery charger;
    2.4.3 The configurations
    Configuration 1:
    – Batteries 1 and 3 in device 2;
    – Battery 2 in device 6;
    – Battery 6, 7, and 8 in device 4;
    – Devices 1, 3, and 4 switched on;
    – Device 2 switched off.
    Configuration 2:
    – Batteries 1 and 2 in device 2;
    – Battery 4 in device 1;
    – Battery 6 in device 5;
    – Battery 7 in device 4;
    – Devices 1 and 2 switched on;
    – Devices 3 and 4 switched off.
    Configuration 3:
    – Battery 4 in device 1;
    – Battery 2 in device 2;
    – Battery 6, 7, and 8 in device 3;
    – Devices 1, 2, 3, and 4 switched on.
    Configuration 4:
    – Batteries 1 and 3 in device 2;
    – Battery 5 in device 1;
    – Battery 6 in device 6;
    – Devices 1 and 3 switched on;
    – Devices 2 and 4 switched off.

    Now when the particular buttons are hit does it just need to display that in the right frames? I have no idea

    Hello Xoured. Welcome to the forums.

    You are able to attach files if you click 'Go Advanced' but I would advice against uploading assignment documents and expecting people to read them.

    I take it you know how to write the very basics of a class file?

    Please write some code then post it back here. Take everything one step at a time. Let us know exactly what you are stuck on and we can help break it down into pieces you will understand. If you want quality replies which require effort then you need to show you have made the maximum effort yourself.

    Thank you.
    Please use [highlight=Java] code [/highlight] tags when posting your code.
