Creating A Static Method That Requires No Arguments And Returns No Values?

Sep 28, 2014

I am doing an assignment and I am clueless as to what I did wrong or supposed to do in terms of placement of coding.

This is what I supposed to do:

1.) Type the following shell for the class:

public class ParadiseInfo
{
}

2.) Between curly braces of the class, indent a few spaces and create the shell for the main() method:

public static void main(String[] args)
{
}

3.) Between the braces of the main()Method, insert a call to the displayInfo() method:

displayInfo();

4.) Place the displayInfo() method outside of the main() method, just before the closing curly brace for the ParadiseInfo class:

public static void displayInfo()
{
system.out.println ("Paradise Day Spa wants to pamper you.");
system.out.println ("We will make you look good.");
}

This is what I attempted to do:

I know it is wrong I am just clueless on where to put the code and why

public class ParadiseInfo
{
displayInfo();
public static void main(String[] args)
{
public static void displayInfo();
}
system.out.println("Paradise Day Spa wants to pamper you.");
system.out.println("We will make you look good.");
}

--- Update ---

I also tried it this one and ended up with 1 error..

public class ParadiseInfo
{
displayInfo();
public static void main(String[] args)
{
}
public static void displayInfo();
{
system.out.println("Paradise Day Spa wants to pamper you.");
system.out.println("We will make you look good.");
}
}

Static Method That Requires No Arguments And Returns No Value

Sep 30, 2014

I am doing a homework assignment and I am clueless as to what I did wrong or supposed to do in terms of placement of coding. If someone could dumb down their response and tell me what I did wrong

This is what I supposed to do:

1.) Type the following shell for the class:

public class ParadiseInfo
{
}

2.) Between curly braces of the class, indent a few spaces and create the shell for the main() method:

public static void main(String[] args)

displayInfo();
public static void main(String[] args)
{
public static void displayInfo();
}
system.out.println("Paradise Day Spa wants to pamper you.");
system.out.println("We will make you look good.");
}

--- Update ---

I have also tried this:

public class ParadiseInfo
{
displayInfo();
public static void main(String[] args)
{
}
public static void displayInfo();
{

[Code]...

The very last attempt I only ended up with one error which is:

G:ParadiseInfo.java:3: error: invalid method declaration; return type required
displayInfo();
^
1 error

Tool completed with exit code 1

Java is very new to me and I have no clue on what I am doing wrong.

Creating Static Methods That Accepts Arguments And Returns A Value

Oct 7, 2014

This is titled "Creating static methods that accepts arguments and returns a value". I think that I understood everything about this except for the very bottom part of the code. I wasn't really sure where to put it. From the errors that I am seeing, I know which line is giving the errors but I'm not sure what is wrong with it.

import java.util.Scanner;
public class ParadiseInfo2{
public static void main(String[] args){
double price;
double discount;

[Code] ....

Errors:G:ParadiseInfo2.java:29: error: illegal start of expression
public static double computeDiscountInfo(double pr, double dscnt)

Method That Returns Non-Numeric Values - Switch Statement

Feb 23, 2014

I am trying to write out a program that takes numerical input from the user and converts it to a date using the English month name. I am experimenting with the method of a "switch" statement without using the "break" clause. However, I seem to be missing something, as Eclipse is telling me I have a syntax error with my block. My curly braces seem properly placed. Also, I made sure to follow guidelines to make my code fit on the screen and remain easy to read.

import acm.program.*;
public class MethodsThatReturnNonNumericValues extends ConsoleProgram {
public void run() {
int month=readInt("Enter month number");
int day=readInt("Enter day");
int year=readInt("Enter year");

Passing Values Into Constructors Using Main Or Static Method Functionality

Jan 24, 2014

I just kinda get stuck when it comes to passing values into constructors, using main method or static method functionality. In theory i kind of understand how it work but when i type it, it's totally different! I have to have a junit test too but i guess i could do that in the end.

I have attached the assignment. So, how to proceed with this:
 
public class Flight {
int flight_number, capacity, number_of_seats_left;
String origin, destination;
String departure_time;
double original_price;

Method That Returns New Array By Eliminating Duplicate Values In Array

Jun 15, 2014

Write a method that returns a new array by eliminating the duplicate values in the array using the following method header: public static int[] eliminateDuplicates(int[] list). The thing is that I found the working solution that is written below, but how it works. How to eliminateDuplicates method done with flag and flag2.

Here is the code:

Java Code:

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Exercise06_15 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
java.util.Scanner input = new java.util.Scanner(System.in);
int[] numbers = new int[10];
System.out.println("Enter ten numbers: ");

Instance Variables Passed In As Arguments To Static Methods?

Feb 19, 2011

I thought static methods could never use instance variables, because they wouldn't know which instance to look at.

From Head First Java, p. 284: "A static method is not associated with a particular instance - only the class - so it cannot access any instance variable values of its class. It wouldn't know which instance's values to use."

Now I was answering some mock exam questions from Cameron McKenzie's SCJA book, and I don't understand one of the options. On page 205, the last question has an option that says: "Instance variables ... are not visible in static methods, unless passed in as arguments." This option is supposed to be correct. Now... how does that work?

Can Static Method Return Instances Of Same Class In Special Case Where Everything Is Static?

Jun 27, 2014

From what i understand static methods should be called without creating an instance of the same class . If so why would they return an instance of the same class like in the following : public static Location locateLargest(double[][] a) , the Location class being the same class where the method is defined . I don't understand this , does it mean that every field and every method in the class must be static ? Meaning that you cannot have instances of the class because everything is static . Or it's just a mistake and the class Location cannot have a static method: public static Location locateLargest(double[][] a) ?

I can't figure out what this error message "Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method getEndUserCharge(long, long, long, long) from the type UpdateUserWS" actually means.

The error is coming from:

some unrelated code
long zero=0;
double endUserCharge=0;
endUserCharge = UpdateUserWS.getEndUserCharge(long zero, long zero, long zero, long zero); <-------- error is here

Non-Static Method Cannot Be Called From Static Context Errors

Jul 27, 2014

I'm working on a banking program that is supposed to use 3 classes (Account-base class, CheckingAccount, and SavingsAccount) and several methods to display the banking information (ID, balance after a withdrawal and deposit, and the annual interest rate). This should be a pretty simple program, but I'm getting hung up on one portion of it. I'm getting some compiler errors, all of which deal with non-static variables being called from a static context (I'll also post these errors following the code). Up until the middle of last week, we just declared everything as static, but that's changed and I'm having trouble figuring out when to and when not to use static when declaring my methods, hence the compiler errors.

import java.util.Date;
public class Account {
private int id = 0;
private double balance = 0;
private double annualInterestRate = 0;
private Date dateCreated = new Date();

[Code] ....

Here are the compiler errors I am receiving:

Compilation completed. The following files were not compiled:

Writing A Method That Returns Words Without Four Letters Back To Main Method

May 27, 2014

I have to write a method called censor that gets an array of strings from the user as an argument and then returns an array of strings that contains all of the original strings in the same order except those with length of 4. For example if cat, dog, moose, lazy, with was entered, then it would return the exact same thing except for the words with and lazy.

Currently, my code so far just prints [Ljava.lang.String;@38cfdf and im stuck.

import java.util.Scanner;
 public class censorProgram {
public static void main (String args[]){
Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);
System.out.println ("How many words would you like to enter?");
int lineOfText = input.nextInt();
 
[Code] ....

I have to make new string array in the method and return words without four letters in the main method

How To Have Static Or Non-static Method Reference As Parameter

Nov 18, 2014

I had a TestColor class which contained methods to change hue, saturation, brightness, red, green, blue of TestColor's instances but also had static methods which take in an additional parameter for an instance of TestColor and returns the affected instance of TestColor. Now instead of having one method for every possible color effect to be applied to an image, how can I have one method that takes in an Image parameter, a static or non-static method reference from TestColor parameter and lastly an intensnity value parameter. This is so that I can make an affectedImage object instance inside the method and a Graphics2D object for drawing to each pixel of the new image, now I have one for loop and one nested for loop for the x and y pixels of width and height of the old image and inside the nested for loop I'd create a TestColor by calling getRGB on the image's pixel. Then I would apply the static or non-static method reference somehow to change the color with the intensnity value and after applying it draw to the new Image with Graphics2D. How to would I parametize a method reference and be able to use it in such way?

FileWriter - Method Append Is Not Applicable For Arguments

Jun 7, 2014

I am having a bit of difficulty understanding/Using FileWriter. Now by my understanding in the API FileWriter allows to use write at the end of your file, if you have text in there already, correct?

I have a file with people info in it. And I created a GUI which allows people to input that data.

Java Code:

File file = new File("People.txt");
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(file);
People p = new People(firstName, lastName, email, sex));
fw.append(p);
fw.close() mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

Now, I keep getting an error on the fw.append(p)

Java Code:

The method append(CharSequence) in the type Writer is not applicable for the arguments(People) mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
