    Default Area calculator.

    What am I missing? There is no errors in the actual script, but when I run it it just says successful and isn't asking for variables. What am I missing?

    Default Re: Area calculator.

    I don't see any reason why the program itself won't ask for user inputs. There's no code for displaying the computed areas, though (only for calculating them).

    Things to try:

    1. Try saving and re-compiling your code. Perhaps you're running an older version.

    2. Make sure you're running the correct program. This should be easier to do with command-line, a little more difficult in some IDE's (if you're using one, let us know which one you're using).

    3. Are you actually running the program, or just compiling it? Reason I ask is because usually the compiler will tell you it successfully compiled the code, while running a program which does nothing will just have an empty output. If you're using the command-line, please copy/paste your commands and any outputs given.

    I'm using textpad, and just copy/pasting the code it runs perfectly. It asks for variables, it didn't display anything, as helloworld pointed out, but it does ask for the variables. What are you using to compile/run?

    Unfortunately, I don't know anything about NetBeans, but the code works perfectly, no errors. The only thing is it doesn't display the numbers it computes, but it does asks for the variables and computes them, had to be an error in terms of either your computer or a glitch in the program, as the code is fine.

    I've only very briefly tried Netbeans a long time ago, but I think you have to manually re-compile to code before running it.

    The only thing I have seen is build and run.... I have built it but it didn't change the results for me.

    Default Re: Area calculator.

    hmm... that's really odd. Can you try compiling/running the program from the command-line?

    Default Re: Area calculator.

    Fixed, under my packages, it was named area.java and not Area.java. Thanks guys. But also, may I help some help as to what I should do to output the math that the program is computing? Im confused on where to start.

    If you have a new question, please start a new thread so that searching a forum is more useful. Post the related code and your instructions to make it easy to understand. Finally be sure to ask a question specifically about what problem you have. The first step in solving any problem is understanding the problem to be solved. Then you need to decide how to solve it without worrying about code. When ever you get stuck you will have a good question to ask by default.
