How To Initialize Variable Only Once

May 2, 2015

I'm working on a program where the user inputs song information (name, artist, filesize, duration) which is stored in a database. Once the user adds a song, the details should be stored in the first empty song slot (4 song slots total) and then taken back to the menu interface.

What I'm having trouble with is that I can add the first song fine (song1), but when I try to add another song, the information entered into song1 is gone. I've worked out that this is because every time I call upon the addNewSong() method, I'm creating four Song objects that are brand new with the line:

Song song1 = new Song();
Song song2 = new Song();
Song song3 = new Song();
Song song4 = new Song();

How to fix this problem is where I'm stuck because if I move these lines elsewhere, I get a 'cannot find symbol - variable song1' error.

Here is my code:

public class SongDatabase {
Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
public void addNewSong() {
Song song1 = new Song();
Song song2 = new Song();
Song song3 = new Song();
Song song4 = new Song();
if (song1.isEmpty()) {

Switch Statements To Initialize Variable Due To Multiple Outcomes?

May 20, 2014

After this problem is fixed, my math game will run. The answer variable is supposed to be equal to the cases in the second switch statement by random but I get errors whenever I try to initialize it this way. I have been writing this program for almost 5 days now and it is finally wrapping up. Why I can't map the answer variable to the second switch statement the way I want to?

package pkgnew;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Random;
public class New {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
//Declare and construct variables
Random randomnum = new Random();
int fnum, snum, answer;

initialize the min and max to be the first numbers entered, need to improve the code, because if the number entered is < 0 there is an error. but i dont understand how i would initialize to the first number entered, my understanding is tha if the user enters a 5 , then i should initialize to value 5, but i cant anticipate what the user will enter. I could initializa to null, but that still is not the first number entered.

int min = 0;
int max = 0;

Cannot Find Symbol Class Object When Trying To Initialize Array?

Sep 9, 2014

I'm trying to make an array of objects, which I then initialize using objects that I have already created. I have main class, a secondary "Other" class, and a third "Other2" class. In the first Other class, I create three objects of the Other2 class, an object array of the type Other2 , and I then try to add the three objects to the object array, which results in the errors:cannot find symbol: class objectArray, ] expected, identifier expected

here is my code:

Write A Program That Declare And Initialize Three Floating-point Variables

Oct 3, 2014

Write a program OutCircle.java that declares and initializes three floating-point variables (r, x, y): the first variable represents the radius r of a circle centered at (0,0) and the second and third variables are the coordinates (x, y) of a point in the plane.Your program should print true if the point is outside the circle and false otherwise. Hint: A point is outside the circle when its distance to the center is greater than the radius.

Java Servlet :: Using Custom Listener To Initialize Database Connection

May 25, 2012

I am trying to use a custom listener to initialize database connection pool (C3P0) on start up and then destroy on context shut down. The reason for that is that I whenever context is shutdown I have a memory leak because initialized connection pool is not being destroyed.

I have a static class called C3P0Utils that deals with connection pool. In my listener in contextInitialized method I have tried at first to init the pool like this :

+public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce) {+
+try {+        
C3P0Utils.newInstance().init();
+} catch (PropertyVetoException ex) {+
Logger.getLogger(DatabaseInit.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
+}+
+}+

I know that object is created. I checked it using jconsole. However it is not accessible with in the application. My second attempt was to regester the pool and then add it to the context and then when I need it read from there.

+public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce) {+
+try {+
ServletContext ctx=sce.getServletContext();
C3P0Utils.newInstance().init();
ctx.setAttribute("myDataSource", C3P0Utils.newInstance().getDataSource());
+} catch (PropertyVetoException ex) {+
Logger.getLogger(DatabaseInit.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
+}+
+}+

However when I try to red from the context I get nothing. I try to read like this.

+(ComboPooledDataSource)ctx.getAttribute("myDataSource")+

When I print names of all of the attributes in the context I get these attributes.

Context Name

org.apache.tomcat.InstanceManager
org.apache.catalina.jsp_classpath
javax.servlet.context.tempdir
org.apache.catalina.resources
+org.apache.tomcat.JarScanner
+org.apache.jasper.compiler.TldLocationsCache
+org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext.ROOT

Why I can not use anything initialized in the listener.

Difference In Variable Assignment Between Constructor And Variable Section

May 21, 2014

Given the case I have an object which is assigned only once. What is the difference in doing:

public class MyClass {
private MyObj obj = new MyObj("Hello world");

private MyClass(){}
//...
}

and

public class MyClass {
private MyObj obj;
private MyClass(){
obj = new MyObj("Hello world");
}
//...
}

Is there a difference in performance or usability? (Given also the case there are no static calls expected) ....

Are Terms Local Variable And Member Variable Comparable

Oct 27, 2014

The term "Local variable" is related to scope. That is a local variable is one which is defined in a certain block of code, and its scope is confined inside that block of code.And a "Member variable" is simple an instance variable.

I read in a discussion forum that when local variables are declared (example code below), their name reservation takes place in memory but they are not automatically initialized to anything. On the other hand, when member variables are declared, they are automatically initialized to null by default.

Java Code: public void myFunction () {
int [] myInt; // A local, member variable (because "static" keyword is not there) declared
} mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

So it seems that they are comparing local variables and member variables. While I think a member variable can also be be local in a block of code, isn't it?

Reference Variable - Create Another Variable And Set It Equal To First

Jan 11, 2015

Given a reference variable : Car c1 = new Car();

when we create another variable and set it equal to the first : Car c2 = c1;

we're pointing c2 at the same car object that c1 points to (as opposed to pointing c2 at c1, which in turn points at the car). So if we have code like,

Car c1 = new Car();
Car[] cA = {c1, c1, c1, c1};

are we doing the same? Are we creating four *new* reference variables, each of which points at the same car (again as opposed to pointing them at c1 itself)? I think so, but want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly.

Using Same Variable Name In Two Classes

Feb 7, 2014

Regarding the code examples in Head First Java, this is from Chapter 5, regarding the beginning creation of the dot com game. There are two classes in quesiton

the first is the SimpleDotComTester class:
public class SimpleDotComTester {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
SimpleDotCom dot = new SimpleDotCom();
int[] locations = {2, 3, 4};
dot.setLocationCells(locations);
String userGuess = "2";
String result = dot.checkYourself(userGuess);
}
}

and the second one is the code for the checkYourself () method in the SimpleDotCom class

public class SimpleDotCom {
int[] locationCells;
int numOfHits = 0;

public void setLocationCells(int[] locs)

[code]....

Now I noticed that both classes use a variable called result; the program runs fine, but assume from the example that you can use the same variable name two different classes;

Variable Value Not Printing

Nov 6, 2014

I'm making a program where the user enters an ID number and can submit the amount of sales that person made for a specific product and write to a file. One of the things I have to do is making a running sum of the sales for each product for all people combined as well as an accumulation of the a persons sales every time he enters data. Everything seems to be working execpt my values like person1Total, person2Total...etx and product2Total.

When I try to write them to the file, they always come out at 0.0 even though they should be the sum of the indexes of the array sales.

import java.io.*;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class SalesReport {
// private static double p1Total, p2Total, p3Total, p4Total;
private static double product1Total, product2Total, product3Total, product4Total, product5Total;
private static double person1Total, person2Total, person3Total, person4Total;
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
