    I am still getting the x's
    Please copy the full text of the compiler's error messages and paste it here.


    The {}s are still not correctly placed. Their positions should reflect the nesting level of the statements they enclose.
    The highest level statements should be to the left. Nested statements should be moved to the right 3-4 spaces.


    Some lines have extra {s before the statement. There should NOT be any code on the same line following a {. Move the statement to the next line so the { is very easy to see.

    make sure all {s having a pairing }
    If the statements are properly formatted, it is a lot easier
    class AClass {
        void aMethod() {
            if(cond)  {
               // do something
               for(int i....) {
                    // inside for
               }  // end for(i)
               if(cond2) {
                   // inside if
               }
            }
         }  // end aMethod()
    } // end class

    I add comments to some of the ending }s so I can easily tell what block of code they are at the end of: class, methods and for() loops

    Yes, nothing that was done up to now has changed the program's results. The purpose of debugging a program is to find out why it is not generating the correct results. When that is understood, then the code can be changed to make the results correct.

    Please post the contents of the console that shows the program's input and output.


    The code still does not have a println in the else statement near the end.

    Also it does not print out the final value of result with an id.

    Default Re: Output of numbers are incorrect sometimes.

    That's what I am trying to do: show you how to debug the code and find the problem. To do that you need to add println statements, execute the program, copy the output and paste it here. Hopefully the print out will show what the problem is.

    can you do it
    What is the 'it' you are asking about?
    From post#8:
    Add a println that prints out the value of result after EVERY statement that changes the value of result so you can see what values the program is assigning to result every time its value is changed.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Enter letters and operators:

    Your input is:
    1res=100.0
    2res=105.0
    2res=115.0
    2res=128.0
    128.0

    thats my output in the console.

    You didn't include the expression the program was to evalute???

    Given these values: a=100,b=5,c=10,d=13
    Looking at the printout and associating the contents of result with the values of the variables:
    1res=100.0 a
    2res=105.0 +b
    2res=115.0 +c
    2res=128.0 +d
    128.0 <<< This would be the results of a+b+c+d

    Enter letters and operators:

    Your input is: A+a+a+a
    1res=100.0
    2res=105.0
    2res=115.0
    2res=128.0
    128.0

    it should be 400 but it still appeared to be 128.0

    That looks like the code does not find the values for the variable names in the expression but just uses the 4 values in the order that they were saved in the ValVarPairs.txt file.

    Try another expression besides: A+a+a+a and see what values are used.

    Does the program work for several different input expressions?

    Default Re: Output of numbers are incorrect sometimes.

    when I try to subtract more then 2 numbers it outputs only the subtraction of the first two numbers.
    for example
    100.0
    5.0
    10.0
    13.0
    Enter letters and operators:
    A-A-A-A
    -200.0

    Glad you got it working.

    --- Update ---

    What changes would you have to make to the program if the ValVarPairs.txt file were changed to contain these numbers-> a=100,b=5,x=10,y=13? Then the expressions could be: x-y+a+b

    Wouldnt I change the ValVarPairs.txt file, so instead of c=10 d=13 I would exchange it with x=10, y=10

    Try it and see what happens. Give x and y different values for clarity in showing test results.
    I think you will get a surprise.

    You'll need to get some help again to fix the code to make it work with these variable names.

    Sorry, I don't know PHP.

    What happened when you changed the variables: c and d to x and y?

    A+b+c+d worked still but,
    when I did A+b+x+y it showed this error.

    Yes, that looks like the error the code will get.

    What assumptions does the code make about the variables' names and the order they are defined in the ValVarPairs.txt file?

    that it goes in the order, anything after 'A' will be calculated

    Are you saying that only the variables: a,b,c,d will work and that the order of their values given in the ValVarPairs.txt file must be in this order: a,b,c,d?

    That should be documented in the program.
