Honestly, it was too convoluted for me to figure out why it was doing what it was doing. Right off I saw you were trying to make while() loops do for() loop work. Also that assignment of keyA[i] to...

public double calculateaverageconsumption(int byDistance, int byConsommation) {
float calculateaverageconsumption = (float) byDistance / byConsommation;

return averageconsumption;
}

So you just decided to declare the class abstract even though you didn't understand what abstract classes were for?

Can I ask, why?

Well I have run the "Build & Clean" option more than once already. Same issue. Even so, there was never a version of the code where decode() was called from the constructor anyway. Could it be a...

Yeah, it only gives me bad output when I execute it in NetBeans. I have no idea why that would be so. It works even if I execute it from the command line in the NetBeans build folder for this...

SSCCE version (still requires -d command line arg just in case that's somehow part of the problem):


import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileWriter;

I am really lost on this one.

I am creating (just for my own practice and because it's kind of cool) a program to encrypt a string according to a very basic algorithm I designed. That part works...

Yeah I got him, that's what I said, or so I thought lol. Well I didn't talk about that first if() without braces but yeah exactly, that's just it. If you put that println() inside the if(), and the...

I once wrote a simple program - that turned out to have no use, but was good practice - that simply takes microphone input and routes it right back out the speakers.

There were several oddities in...

Well if it throws that exception, that breaks out of the try {} block, and executes the catch statement. And if the number is in range, the if() {} block doesn't execute, so either way, that...

The if() {} statement is not inside a try {} block, so there is nothing to catch that exception, and the program will end.

If a number out of range is entered, the program stops running.

If a...

However, you are of course right that code ought to be commented. I decided to comment it because it is possible I will want to show it to my university or someone to show what I taught myself...

To get the percent of a number, you multiply it by the percentage value with the decimal two places to the left. So ten percent of 60 = 60 * 0.10.

So just get your input, set the var to: var +=...

Which it does, indeed. I resent the implication that I'm too stupid to look for the answer elsewhere before asking here. I am asking because I could not find it.

You say you have better things...

Quick question that my last program made me want to ask. I found another solution that didn't require me to do this for the program, but it got me curious: How do you represent a return key in a...

And I haven't asked anyone to read it. I put it up in case it was to interest of anyone searching the web or the forums looking for answers to a similar problem, or if someone had a comment they...

Believe me when I tell you that I'm pretty confident no human being besides me is ever going to have to reprogram this, and if that day comes, I will put comments in it.

It just does what you said. Declares Calendar objects representing each target time, and parses their Epoch time through a Date object into a long var. Then establishes the current Epoch time, and...

Well, this forum just lost me my last two posts, so here goes an approximate re-do:

You were right about the CPU usage! I had no idea it would be that bad over a little loop. But yeah, I have...

How would you do it? Like I said, I know most of the code I write could be improved. That's because I'm quite new to Java and teaching it to myself. I have no idea how I would compute the time to...

Well, the program works now. Doesn't do quite everything I'd like, but it's good enough, it runs, it will get the job done I believe.

I thank everyone who replied for their help!

Does start() normally finish playing the audio file it references before allowing execution to continue?

println()'s would show me what's happening and when, but not why - and indeed as the code stands now, they already DO show that the for() loop in the FilePlayer is being called twice, one time...

I understand that. When I wrote it, I figured it was probably rather disgusting code-wise, but again, I am inexperienced, but I figure the best way to learn is to go do it, even if it isn't perfect...

EDIT: Ignore this post. I misunderstood what the OP wanted and created a solution to a problem that didn't exist. I'll take a look later and see if I can come up with something - I have a vague...
