    Default GUI Lotto Program Not Compiling

    Hey guys, so, I'm creating a GUI Lotto Game for my friend. However, when it comes to compiling the non-GUI part of it, it gives me an error on lines 8 and 10.

    The error message is:

    "Invalid argument to operation ++/--"

    Here is my code:

    "
    class Random
    {
    public static void main (String[] args)

    {
    int[] nums = new int[50];
    for(int i = 1; i < 50; 1++) { nums[i] = i; }

    for(int i = 1; i < 50; 1++)

    {
    int r = (int) Math.ceil(Math.random() * 49);
    int temp=nums[i];
    nums[i]=nums[r];
    nums[r]=temp;
    }

    for (int i = 1; 1 < 7; i++)
    {
    System.out.print(Integer.toString(nums[i]) + " ");
    }
    }
    }
    "

    The code on the lines receiving the error is:

    "for(int i = 1; i < 50; 1++)"

    If it helps, I'm doing this in Java 6!

    Thanks,
    FalcomerG

    for(int i = 1; i < 50; 1++) { nums[i] = i; }

    for(int i = 1; i < 50; 1++)

    I think you mean those to be i++ not 1++

    Haha. Yes. Thanks! I knew it looked weird

    --- Update ---

    A little off topic, but do you know why I can't make anything a runnable java file from eclipse?

    .java files are not executable, they are just source files. .class files are compiled java files, which can be ran from the command line. However, if you want a file you can double-click and run, you need to create a .jar.
