In the following example, I compute new_amount_d in 2 different ways and I get 2 different values although it should be the same in theory.
Is there a way to get the same value with BigDecimal for instance?
public class num004
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
double amount_d = 1000;
double interest_rate_d = 0.03;

How to convert the equation below for bigDecimal objects. I have already tried this, and this and the output is really weird once I call the method. The first block of code is what I'm trying to convert into BigDecimal arithmetic.
public static double calculateFutureValue(double monthlyInvestment,
double monthlyInterestRate, int months) {
double futureValue = 0;
for (int i = 1; i <= months; i++) {
[Code] ....
My attempt at this is as follows:
public static BigDecimal calculateFutureValue(double monthlyInvestment,
double monthlyInterestRate, int months) {
BigDecimal futureValue = new BigDecimal(0.0);
BigDecimal montlyInvestmentDecimal = new BigDecimal(monthlyInvestment);
[Code] ....
Output:
Welcome to the Future Value Calculator
DATA ENTRY
Enter monthly investment: 1
Enter yearly interest rate: .01
Enter number of years: 3
Month: 1 FutureValue: 0E-66
Month: 2 FutureValue: 0E-132
Month: 3 FutureValue: 0E-198
Month: 4 FutureValue: 0E-264
Month: 5 FutureValue: 0E-330
[Code] ....
FORMATTED RESULTS
Monthly investment: $1.00
Yearly interest rate: 0.0%
Number of years: 3
Future value: 0E-2376
Continue? (y/n):
So clearly this still isn't working.
Jdeveloper version 11.1.1.7.0
I have a variable which if of BigDecimal. that variable can have values like 0.0, 2.03,3.04,7.00 and 9.0 and 10.01, 14.567
So now I want that if that BigDecimal value is 0.0 or 7.00 or 9.0 then
i) I should show 0 and 7 and 9 instead of 0.0 and 7.00 or 9.0
ii) I should show 2.03,3.04 10.01 and 14.56(2 decimal places for all).
I wrote this one all by myself (AND it works!!), but I know that to get really accurate results I need to use BigDecimal instead of Double. The problem is that I can't quite figure out how to do that. How to switch those out?

I've Parent and child(extends Parent) class To initialize the constructors, I'm injecting from google.juice#injector. Let me show the code,
Parent.class
public class Parent{
private Animal animal;
@inject
Parent(Animal animal){
this.animal = animal;

When I do this, ClassCastException is happening. Why is it so? Is there any way to convert instance of parent to child instance.
in a set of instructions they keep referring to instance versions of things I've heard of before ie "private instance array of String references" (wtf is a string reference?) or "instance string variable" so what does all this mean?

View Replies View RelatedI have a method that accepts JSONArray as parameter and returns the values of it as ArrayList Object. My question which of these ways is appropriate in populating the ArrayList object this method populates the arraylist upon creation of object (I don't know what the right term to use, but as netbeans IDE suggest, JSONArray object should be final since it was used in inner class.).
private List<String> getStringList(final JSONArray jsonArr) {
return new ArrayList<String>() {
{
try {
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArr.length(); i++) {
add(jsonArr.getString(i));
}
} catch (JSONException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
};
}
this second method is the usual way of populating collection
private List<String> getStringList(JSONArray jsonArr) {
List<String> strList = new ArrayList<String>();
try {
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArr.length(); i++) {
strList.add(jsonArr.getString(i));
}
} catch (JSONException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
What are the advantages and disadvantages between the two? like which is faster? or which consumed larger memory?

Whenever I call the accelerate method, a value of 5 is to be added to the speed variable. But whenever I call accelerate, it doesn't increase! I just don't understand why not. I've tried different renditions of adding 5 to speed and it doesn't quite work. I don't get any errors when I compile, just runtime, when it doesn't add 5 to speed.
So far in my assignment I have successfully opened a text file. However I am required to do more:
1) As each line of text (containing names and ages) is read a new Runner object is created with its instance variables set thus: ! (Runner class already created )!
- name : set directly set from the value in the file
- agaGroup : can be worked out from the given ages:
< 18 should be 'junior'
> 55 should be 'senior'
the rest should be 'standard'
2) the instance of Runner should be added to the list referenced by the instance variable runners.
I have used if statements to create the junior list, however I do not see the full list of names and ages in the variable runners as I am requested to.
I am sure there is a for loop involved somewhere but I do not know how to:
a) use the for loop in my method
add a new Runner object with the variable mentioned.
I include the code I have done so far as a file - p.s I use Bluej.

{
// instance variables
private String runners;
private String age;

Let's pretend I'm working on an RPG. Like in all RPGs, there are items found all throughout the imaginary world. Each player and NPC can obtain an item. My question will concern those items.
In other words, I'd like to use instances of a class in multiple places of the code. Each instance will have its own, individual values of instance variables, with one obvious exception: itemQuantity should have a different value in playerInventory, npcInventory, etc. Also, I'd like a list of all items that can be found in the game. This list doesn't need itemQuantity at all.
class Items {
String itemName;
float itemWeight;
int itemQuantity;
[Code] ....
The question is: should I really make itemQuantity an instance variable of the Item class? It seems as though for each copy of the Item class I should create a separate copy with different value of itemQuantity, but that's not very efficient. Where is the error in my logic?
What's important is that there may be plenty items in a game and a player may be given power to create new items during the course of the game.
I'm just wondering why variables in interface can't be instance scope?
interface Test{
int a;
}
And then
Test test = new TestImpl();
test.a=13;
Yes, it violates OO, but I don't see why this is not possible? Since interface is not an implementation, therefore it can;t have any instance scope variable. I can't find the correlation of interface being abstract and being able to hold instance scope variable. There's gotta be another reason. I'm just curious about any programmatic limitation, not deliberate design constraint. the example of programmatic limitation is like when Java forbids multiple inheritance since when different parents have the exact same method, then the child will have trouble determining which method to run at runtime.

View Replies View RelatedAlright, I have a JavaFX gui that is creating a new instance of data calculation to graph in a chart; however, the data is not updating each time the Platform.runLater() feature executes. Each time an event occurs, a new instance with the same variable name occurs. I use to get methods to retrieve the data I want, so shouldn't the values update each time the new instance is created? This is a very condensed version of what happens with the event, but this is what is not working correctly.

Is there anyway to iterate an enum type without an instance. As some context, consider the following code:
Java Code: public interface GenericChecker
{
public bool isValid(String str);
} mh_sh_highlight_all('java'); Java Code: public class EnumChecker<T extends Enum<T> > extends GenericChecker
{
private Class<T> enumType; //No instance
[code]....
toString method of the enum types has been overridden so that it returns the name assigned to the enum rather than the enum name itself. For example an enum might be SOME_ENUM("Assigned name"), therefore toString returns "Assigned name" rather than "SOME_ENUM". The idea is that a field from a table can be handed to the isValid(String) function on the GenericChecker base, and the derived class will then check to see if the field matches valid data as far as it is concerned.Thus, I can create a whole bunch of checkers easliy:
Java Code: GenericChecker checker1 = EnumChecker<EnumType1>();
GenericChecker checker2 = EnumChecker<EnumType2>();
GenericChecker checker3 = EnumChecker<EnumType3>();
GenericChecker checker4 = SomeOtherChecker(); mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
The problem is, if I use the EnumChecker then the expression "enumType.getEnumConstants()" in the isValid function blows up because enumType is null.
What is the correct way of describing the type of instance variables?
It is obvious in the case of a primitive type
Example: private int number;
The (data)type of number is integer.
What if the instance variable is an object or a wrapper?
example: private Person person;
the (data?)type of person is an object of the type/class Person?
example: private Integer number;
Java Code:
package Threads;
// THIS PROGRAM WILL HAVE TWO THREADS i.e. "main" AND ANOTHER THREAD (SYSTEM WILL NAME IT "Thread-0"
//THE STORY IS THAT WE WILL START Thread-0 FROM main AND LET IT EXECUTE.
//main WILL WAIT AND LET IT EXECUTE FOR 5 MINUTES.
//IF IT FINISHES ITS EXECUTION BEFORE 5 MINUTES, WELL AND GOOD;
//BUT IF IT DOESN'T, WE WILL INTERRUPT IT.
//AFTER INTERRUPTION, WE WILL DECIDE TO WAIT INDEFINITELY.
public class SimpleThreadsCopy {
public static void threadMessage(String s){
String sThreadName= Thread.currentThread().getName();
System.out.format("%s: %s%n", sThreadName, s);
[Code] ....
The statement against which I have written many *'s gives the following error.
No enclosing instance of type SimpleThreadsCopy is accessible. Must qualify the allocation with an enclosing instance of type SimpleThreadsCopy (e.g. x.new A() where x is an instance of SimpleThreadsCopy).
Now that a similar "error-free" code is given here, what's wrong with this piece of code and what should I do about it?
Trying to understand the error statement, I replaced the erroneous statement with
Java Code : Thread t= new Thread(new SimpleThreadsCopy().new MessageLoop()); mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
And the error got fixed. From that I understand that the inner class is just kinda a nonstatic member of the outer class and it will be accessed by the objects of the outer class only.
But then why doesn't the code in the tutorial give an error?
Do inherited methods use their instance variables or do they use the ones in the method that inherits them?
For example, Class B extends Class A. Class A and B both have the instance variable "potato". A client program tries to use method "cut" using an object of Class B, but class B has no cut method. So, class B uses the "cut" method inherited from class A. What I want to know is will that cut class A's potato or class B's?
There is method in the class of my application and there are four other class which is running in different machine means different jvm and these classes are accessing the method of my class. then how to protect my method from accessing other class at the same time.

I though it was all about the static, i.e:
