Polynomials Into Array Using User Input With Scanner

Feb 19, 2014

Assignment: Your task is to implement a similar scheme to store polynomials of any number of terms, such that the number of terms and the components (coefficient, variable and exponent) of every term are entered from the keyboard. To implement the interactive input we will using the Java class Scanner, defined in the java.utils standard package. The Scanner class can be used in Java to read data types from a file.

Since the input console (keyboard) is treated as the file called System.in, we can create a Scanner for that input stream as new Scanner (System.in), as shown below. Once you define a Scanner object, using its method next() you can read Strings from the file/keyboard. The incomplete program below is your assignment. You are supposed to complete without changing the existing code. Your output should be the terms of the polynomial entered by the user, separated by + signs. Additional instructions in the code below, that you will change to achieve the requested functionality.

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Polynomials {
public static void storeTerm (int coeff, String var, int exp, String poly[][], int
where){
//ENTER THE COEFFICIENT, VARIABLE AND EXPONENT INTO THE
//ARRAY POLY THAT REPRESENTS THE POLYNOMIAL, AT POSITION "where"
//THAT RANGES BETWEEN INDEX 0 AND POLY.LENGTH-1

[Code] ....

Anyways, I'm not looking for straight answers. I just want to know which section I should start on first because I was advised to tackle programs one problem at a time.

Scanner Object Never Waits For User To Input Anything

Jun 13, 2014

The method below is called within a large loop in another method. The code has been boiled down to easily show the problem I'm having. I found that the method worked fine (prompts user for input, gets input, returns input) until I added a statement at the end of the method that closes the Scanner object. When the kb.close() statement is present, the method works the first time through, but subsequent calls to this method only display the prompt and the Scanner object never waits for the user to input anything thereafter.

public int scanIt()
{
int i;
Scanner kb = new Scanner(System.out);
System.out.print("==> "); // prompt for input
if(kb.hasNextInt())
{
i = kb.nextInt();
System.out.println("User entered " + i);
}
kb.close();
}

Reading Input With Scanner And Checking If User Entered Empty String?

Apr 7, 2015

The project is a program that allows the user to enter students and enter grades for each student. One of the requirements is that if there is already a grade stored for the student that it will display the previous grade. IF the user then enters a new grade the new grade will be stored. IF the user simply presses enter (enters an empty string) nothing is done. I have everything working except for the requirement of doing nothing if the user enters an empty string. If I just press enter at this point I get a NumberFormatException.

The below code is a method "setTestGrades" from the student class. This method iterates through each student object stored in an array list and then checks if there is a previous grade (Requirement# unset grades have to default to -1) before allowing the user to set a new grade.

public void setTestGrades(int testNumber) { //Sets the grade for the specified test number for each student in the arraylist.
testNumber -= 1;
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
for (int i = 0; i < studentList.size(); i++) {
System.out.println("Please enter the grade for Test #" + (testNumber + 1) + " For Student " + studentList.get(i).getStudentName());

Allow User To Input A Value Into Cell In 2D Array?

Apr 16, 2015

I am trying to do a simple noughts and crosses game. I have displayed a board using a 2 dimensional array and display it using a for loop. The array is of type int. What I want to do is allow the user to choose a specific cell within the array to change to an x or o but I am not sure how to go about doing this. I have seen lots of examples of noughts and crosses online but seem to all be examples of how to check a win or lose situation.how to allow a user to choose certain cells in a 2d array would be great.

Sorting Array Of Strings From User Input

Apr 3, 2015

I am working on an assignment where I initially have to take as input a number. That number will be the number of strings the user is going to type. As they are typed, they are to be sorted alphabetically, then printed. It took me a while to get this far, and I am stuck on how to properly invoke the other methods in main. There has to be at least three methods: main, one to do the sorting, and one to print the new array. I'm quite sure there are mistakes in my code, but this is definitely a challenge for me. Here is the code. Keep in mind that the methods being invoked are blank on purpose.

I am not allowed to use the Arrays, Arraylist or Collection class. This is basically to test my ingenuity and to see how arrays actually work.

import java.util.*;
public class Sort_as_Inserted {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter number of elements to be sorted: ");
String element_number = input.nextLine();

Pass User Input - Initializing Array In Method

Feb 7, 2015

I need to pass user input from the main method, which is then validated using another method that is returned as a valid score, and then I pass the valid input to another method that stores the data in an array. The array is initialized within the method. I tried to use an if-else statement to initialize the array, because I originally did this at the beginning of the method. I soon learned that I was creating a new array everything I accessed the method. Needless to say, this isn't working either.

public static void main(String[] args) {
int judges = 7;
float[] validScores = new float[judges];
for (int i = 0; i < judges; i++) {
float score = -1;

How To Change Value In Array Through User Input And Print Out Result

Dec 14, 2014

I have to do a small program about parking. In the 2-d array (parking lot), contains different kinds of cars, the user have to :

1)enter which car he wanna move,
2)what direction (w,a,s,d) and after that,
3) how many moves( not out of bound) he wants to make, and finally
4) we print out the new parking lot for his next move

And i am stuck at how to move the car to corresponding position and then prompt user for the next move?

For example:

I want to move A to the right by 1 (d)

擷取.PNG
print result:
擷取1.PNG

How do I do that? The code that i have right now

public class CarParkGame {
public static void main( String [] args) {
  String carPark[][] = new String [6][6] ;
carPark[0] = new String[] {"A","A","A","0","0","0"};
carPark[1] = new String[] {"b","0","0","0","0","c"};
carPark[2] = new String[] {"b","X","X","0","0","c","<exit>"};

User To Input 10 Numbers - Find Smallest Element In Array

Dec 2, 2014

I am trying to write a code that asks the user to input ten numbers and then finds and displays the smallest number out of the ones given. I am supposed to implement arrays into the program to do this. But the problem I have run into is that when I compile the code in jgrasp, I am given several error messages and I am not quite sure what I have done wrong. I'm assuming it is either a syntax or a logical error on my part but reading over the code I do not understand what is causing these errors.

This is the most current draft of my code:

import java.util.Scanner;
 public class Exercise7_9 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
double[] numbers = new double[10];
//Enter ten double numbers: Scanner(System.in)
java.util.Scanner input = new java.util.Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Please enter ten numbers: ");

[Code] .... 
 
/* Sample Run:
Enter ten numbers: 1.9, 2.5, 3.7, 2, 1.5, 6, 3, 4, 5, 2
*/

And these are the exact error messages:

----jGRASP exec: javac -g Exercise7_9.java
Exercise7_9.java:35: error: '.class' expected
if (double m > list[i]) {
^
Exercise7_9.java:35: error: illegal start of expression
if (double m > list[i]) {

Scanner Taking Input Twice

Oct 29, 2014

I have a small bug in my program. The user is asked what person(s) information they want to access but lets say they want captain they must enter "captain" twice. I think it will make more sense to you with the code. I have searched all over to see what is causing the bug but still have found no resolution. I even tried making two different scanners but that didn't work either.

I know the while loop (line 16) I am using is causing the bug because it works fine without that but then I cannot validate the input.

package myproject;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Enterprise {
public static void main (String[]args){
String userInput;

Console Input Of Strings Using Scanner

May 9, 2015

I am having a great deal of frustration trying to use the scanner to get user input from the eclipse console. Here is what I am trying to do.

Print a menu for the user with options, take that (1) char input and run it into a switch statement for processing. I have that done and it is working fine.

If the user chooses to enter strings for storage, They are instructed to enter their string and press enter to complete that string entry. Then enter the next string and press enter, etc.

So I have a While loop for this. Get the scanner input, store it in the LinkedList, get the next scanner input, etc. I get the scanner string and store it in a Linked list. That works fine. The user is instructed to simply enter a blank string to end the entry procedure, like just press Enter on the new line without typing a new string.

The problem is the scanner doesn't seem to return anything for me to Test to close this procedure. How do I TRAP the fact that the user just pressed enter so I can end my procedure? I have tried next() and nextLine() and reset(), etc. And I am getting knowhere.

Sep 13, 2014

​Is there any way to use scanner to get input and distinguish between int and text? I'm trying to make a scanner method I can call whenever I need user input no matter if I need int or text. Using two methods (one for int, other for text) at the moment.

Person person1 = new Person();

Checking To See If Input From Scanner Is Integer

Jun 12, 2014

So I clipped this out of my Jeopardy game code and made it into its own project for testing. using this code I want to check to see if the input for wage is an integer?

import java.util.Scanner;
public class test {
/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);

Obviously right now if you enter "aflwkj" or some such for the wager, the program terminates. How to make a loop that will keep asking the user for a value for wage until the input is an integer?

Adding Two Polynomials With A Linked List

Oct 15, 2014

I was supposed to write a PolyNode class for each node in the LinkedList, and a Polynomial class which is pretty much the list itself.Here is what I've coded so far:

PolyNode class:

public class PolyNode {
private int coefficient;
private int exponent;
private PolyNode next;

[code]....

The only trouble I'm having with this problem is finding a way to add these two polynomials together. My first attempt at it was to use nested while loops to traverse through both polynomial lists, like so:

public Polynomial addPolynomials(Polynomial p1, Polynomial p2) {
PolyNode current1 = p1.getFirstNode();
PolyNode current2 = p2.getFirstNode();
int coeff;
int expo;
Polynomial polySum = new Polynomial();

[code]....

Basically what this method does:

-Check to see if the exponents between two terms are the same
-If true, add their coefficients together
-Create a new node for the polySum with that coefficient sum and the particular exponent value
-At the end, return the polySum list which should be the sum of two polynomials

The problem with this method is it doesnt account for the values that are left behind because their exponents aren't equal to the exponents of the other list. So, the only terms that are getting added into the sum list are the ones that have the same exponent in both of the lists that are being added together.

Scanner That Scans Console For Input To Fetch String Word

Jul 28, 2014

I'm having an issue, I have a scanner (Scan.nextLine();) that scans the console for input to fetch the string "word". Then I want to fetch a character using Scan.findInLine(word).charAt(number);. The problem is that the console requires me to write 2 lines in order for the program to move on. I only want the program to scan for a word, and then move on with what it has instead of requiring 2 inputs.

Scanner Array Initializing

Oct 12, 2014

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
Question question = new Question();
Quiz quiz = new Quiz();
System.out.print("Enter the prompt: ");
question.prompt = sc.nextLine();

[Code] .....

Here is the example run that I am trying to achieve:

* 1. Enter the prompt: What is the capital of the USA?
* 2. Enter a possible answer: New York City, NY
* 2. Is New York City, NY the correct answer (y/n)? n
* 3. Enter a possible answer: Pittsburgh, PA
* 3. Is Pittsburgh, PA the correct answer (y/n)? n
* 4. Enter a possible answer: Washington, DC
* 4. Is Washington, DC the correct answer (y/n)? y
* 5. Enter a possible answer: Chicago, IL
* 5. Is Chicago, IL the correct answer (y/n)? n

The problem is that my for loop runs through correctly the first time, but doesn't seem to react to me initializing my choices array after that. It ends up looking like this:

Enter the prompt: What is the capitol of the USA?
Enter a possible answer: New York City, NY
Is New York City, NY the correct answer (y/n)?n
Enter a possible answer: Is the correct answer (y/n)?

But I cannot understand why it's doing that.
