Thread: College Assignment

I have been learning java in college for about 6 weeks now, our latest assignment seems overly complicated so I was wondering if anyone could help me out.

This is my code so far, any help on any of the further parts which I have not completed yet would be greatly appreciated

Oh and just so you know we are using bluej.

Please post your assignment text here in the forum, and then ask specific questions about this assignment that confuses you.

This is my code so far, any help on any of the further parts which I have not completed yet would be greatly appreciated...

In my experiences, open ended questions such as this are very difficult to answer, and often don't get direct answers, but more frequently result in links to this or that tutorial. If you desire more specific answers and help, you're going to have to put in some effort in formulating your questions here (which is an art in its own right) by trying to ask more specific questions.

Best of luck and welcome to the javaprogramming forums.

I did add my assignment text its the pdf link at the top, to be honest I was really just looking for someone to point me in the right direction with tutorial as I am just wanting to learn as much as possible without the answer being blankly given to me, Thanks anyway

We'll be glad to help, but again, you'll get more folks likely willing to read your assignment if you type in the text of the assignment here in the forum. Many don't like clicking on links. This is being posted in the spirit of trying to help you get more and better help sooner. Best of luck!

Bro, u are even lucky, do u know we many programmers who selfstudied for months and missing classroom experience as well. Will u believe I 've attempted your assignment and 'll definitely post d problems I 've encountered to the forum, u better act fast!.... Welcome 2 d forum.
