Simple Pyramid Program

Jun 28, 2014

I was learning Java and there was this exersize to construct a simple pyramid of prespecified height and width. The program i wrote is turining up with the wrong result.

package asgn2;
import acm.graphics.*;
import acm.program.*;
public class pyramid extends GraphicsProgram {
private static final int BRICK_WIDTH = 30;
private static final int BRICK_HEIGHT = 12;
private static final int BASE_BRICKS =14;

Stuck On Pyramid Program

Feb 13, 2014

I have spent some time thinking about the program, and realize I need two loops-- 1 that keeps track of bricks in a row and 1 that keeps track of the number of rows as the Pyramid rises in height. The Pyramid is supposed to be centered on the bottom of the screen. Three CONSTANTS have been required:

BRICK_WIDTH=30, BRICK_HEIGHT=12, BRICKS_IN_BASE=14.

I tried breaking the scope of things down by trying step-wise refinement. But, I got bogged down. When I tried a method where both loops were included, I got limited success. For some reason, my equation to center along the x axis seems to be doubling the number of bricks. But, the correct number of total rows of bricks was a success. Also, the Pyramid was centered on the bottom of the screen. Another frustrating failure was that the number of bricks would not decrease as the new layers were created. My thought process was instead of using a loop that counts up (i++) I would use a loop that counts down (j--) which I thought would reduce the number of brick in each row as the "y" coordinate was reduced by each count of the BRICK_HEIGHT.

This is the code that "works". Whenever I add the (j--) the results are NOT what I expect.

Simple Averaging Program Using Two Different Classes?

Apr 9, 2014

This is a simple project that i was using to test my current java knowledge (kinda like revision) and for that i used two classes to make a simple averaging program. i know i0m making it more difficult but like i said i'm testing myself but i come up with an unexpected error. Here's the code:

- 1st Class

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Main {
public static int num;
public static int total = 0;
public static int average;

[Code].....

Now the problem is after inputing the numbers it doesn't give me the average but the value of 0.

Exception Errors In Simple Program?

Mar 26, 2015

I'm trying to read lines from a textfile and count all the words using String Tokenizer. However I keep getting an error "Unhandled exception type FileNotFoundException" on my IDE(Eclipse) referring to lines 13 and 8. When I let the IDE automatically, and I've even tried typing this manually, insert a try-catch block more errors show up concerning inputFile. When I insert the throws FileNotFoundException for each method it compiles but after running it gives me a FileNotFoundException for textfile.txt. What's even more interesting is that when I copy the .java file out of the IDE project folder, place it in a random empty folder on the Desktop with the textfile.txt, and try running it through command line, it gives a NoSuchElementException: No line found.

import java.util.Scanner;

Simple Vending Machine Program

Jan 22, 2014

I am having a difficult time writing what started out as a simple vending machine program. As I go on though, it seems that I'm overcomplicating it and it is getting messy, so I have resorted to the forum before I really get off the path. how to clean it up? I'm going to list a few of the problems I am having with the code below:

1. The user is supposed to enter his/her money and the program is to read each value separately (Do-While loop) and keep a running total of the money entered. I can't seem to get the right code format to do this. I was trying to do this with the variable total and so that is why the total exists in the switch statement, but it did not work.

2. In the second Do-While statement, is there a way to kick back an error when their are insufficient funds to purchase an item? Instead of getting a negative change return.

package practice;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Practice {
public static void main(String[] args) {
double count, total;
int item;
//Display Available Options To Customer
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("*VENDING MACHINE*");

Simple 2D Optics Simulation Program

Sep 13, 2014

I'm very new to Java (I literally started learning it yesterday) and I've been working on a simple program that's meant to simulate interactions between optics objects and light rays.

Everything has been going really well, except that my mirrors only reflect the first ray that comes in contact with them.

Here's a screenshot : 2014-09-13 at 7.39.23 PM.jpg

I wrote 7 classes:

Main class to create the optics objectOptics class. the most important class that uses a recursive function to detect the nearest intersection point of a ray with the nearest optics object. It then calculates a reflected ray and inputs it back into the function until no intersections are found or the max recursion depth is met.Ray. creates a rays (in parametric form O + tD where O is the origin, D is the direction and t is a non-negative scalar)Object. empty abstract class used for polymorphism (so when i add more optics objects like prisms and lenses they'll share the object type)Mirror. Basically a line segment created with the Line classLine. Creates a line segmentDraw. JComponent with paintComponent function that loops through an array of shapes and draws them to the screen.

What I know so far is that the problem boils down to the checkRay() function in the Optics class. When a mirror has already reflected a ray, the line:

Intersection sec = new Intersection(ray,(Mirror)obj);

creates an intersection with a null point.

I debugged it line by line and found the problem was that my variable 't' (that is the parameter for the parametric line which represents the mirror) in the Intersection class got big values when it's meant to be between 0 and 1 (since it's a line segment), which resulted in the function returning null (as it should when 't' is not between 0 and 1).

I've confirmed with tests that this has nothing to do with the specific mirror or angle of incidence. It only occurs when a mirror has already been intersected with by a ray.

I've found out that my function:

public PVector getNormal(PVector D){
D.normalize();
return new PVector(D.y,-D.x);
}

Changes the value of the 'D' PVector of the mirror inside my 'objects' ArrayList. How can it access the private PVector 'D' from outside the Mirror class? This normalization to the direction vector is what causes the Intersection class to return null the second time around!

The problem was that in the getNormal function, the input vector argument was a reference to the 'D' vector for the mirror in my 'objects' ArrayList so the .normalize() function acted upon the original vector, changing it's value and screwing things up. The two classes I talked about:

Optics: (note line 64. this line returns a null intersection when it shouldn't)

package ofer.davidson;
 import java.util.ArrayList;
 public class Optics {
 //Arrays to store all the optics objects and rays that are created
ArrayList<Object> objects;
ArrayList<Ray> rays;
 
[Code] .....

Also why doesn't my background turn white??

Make Simple Program Which Takes In Argument?

May 12, 2015

So I'm trying to make a simple program which takes in an argument (target) and then looks through an ArrayList of strings. If it finds a string that begins with (target) then it will return the index of that string. If it doesn't find a string which begins with (target) then it will return -1 instead.

For some reason, the program is always returning -1, rather than the index of the string within the ArrayList when there is one which matches the search criteria.

Here is the code:

public int getIndex(ArrayList<String> text, String target)
{
int i = 0;
int index = -1;
boolean found = false;

Program To Simulate Operation Of Simple Robot

Apr 26, 2015

Write a program to simulate the operation of a simple robot. The robot moves in four directions: Forward, backwawrd, left, and right. The job of the robot is to move items and place it in the right slots in each station. There are 8 stations plus the pickup station. Pick up station is the initial start where the robot picks the items. 8 items can be placed on each station. The nearest station must be filled before placing items on the next station. The items are marked with identification or serial numbers. The items with odd serial number go to the right and items with even number go to the eft. The last slot, number 7 is reserved for light items which are less than 80kg. The serial number is a five digit number, the MSB digit 5 indicates that the product must be placed in the fifth station which is keeping the product at 20 degree F.

Creating A Program That Calculates Simple And Compound Interest

Aug 12, 2014

I need getting started designing and creating a program that calculates simple and compound interest. Simple interest in this case means that interest is only applied to the original amount. For instance, if a person deposits $1000 at 10% annual interest, then after one year they would have $1100 (the original $1000 plus the $100 interest) and after two years they would have $1200 (the original $1000, plus the $100 earned the first year, plus the $100 earned the second year).

With compound interest, the interest is applied to all money earned. So, starting with $1000 at 10% annual interest, after one year the user would have $1100 (the original amount plus $100 interest) and after two years the user would have $1210 (the $1100 they started with at the beginning of the year plus the $110 interest).

The requirements of this program are:

-Create a class that will hold methods to calculate the interest. Do not include the main method in this class.
-In the class that is used to calculate the interest, include a method to print to the screen, by interest period, the starting amount for the period, the interest earned for the period, and the total amount at the end of the period. Note that each period represents the time frame for how often it is updated. If annual is selected the period is every year. If it is semi-annual it is every six months. If it is quarterly it is every three months.
-Create a demo class that will use your interest calculation class. Prompt the user for the original amount, the type of interest (simple or compound), the annual interest rate, and whether it is updated annually, semi-annually, or quarterly. Use method calls to your calculate interest class to do all calculations and display the result. Loop the program until the user chooses to quit.

Sample output ($10000 initial investment, 10% simple interest, annual, for 4 years):

Period Beginning Amount Interest Earned Ending Amount
1 10000.00 1000.00 11000.00
2 11000.00 1000.00 12000.00
3 12000.00 1000.00 13000.00
4 13000.00 1000.00 14000.00

Simple Logic Error In Cipher-shifting Program?

Feb 8, 2015

I was tasked with creating a program that encrypts a line of text (for example, CANDY) by shifting the letters X amount of times. For example, if the user inputs the sentence CANDY and selects a shift of 5, the output would be: HFSID. I got this part working fine. The issue I am having is with the decryption part of the program.

This is simply the reverse of the above, as the user would enter the phrase HFSID, with a shift of 5, and the program would output: CANDY. It works fine, all except for one letter, being the "F" letter. With my code, when I enter the above word to be decrypted it outputs: C[NDY

Obviously, that [ bracket is not an 'A'. I realise the issue falls with the equation, Here is my code:

public class SimpleEncryption {

/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
static int answer;
public static void main(String[] args) {
String cipher = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please enter a sentence or word that you wish to encode or decode. This program uses"
+ " a basic cipher shift.");

Simple Program Giving Negative Result For Amount Of Calculations Done

Mar 5, 2014

Why this extremely simple program seems to be giving me a negative value for amount of calculations done within one minute ( Just using it as a bit of fun to see how different computers in the office perform).

Java Code:

class Benchmark {
public static void main(String[] args) {
long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis() + 60000;
int count = 0;
for (int i = 0; System.currentTimeMillis() < endTime; i++) {
double x = Math.sqrt(System.currentTimeMillis());
count = i;
}
System.out.print(count + " calculations per minute");
}
} mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

I am getting results between -2.1billion and -3.4billion which to me would make sense since they are not the best computers in the world but I would be expecting a positive value?

Building A Pyramid From Blocks?

Apr 15, 2014

I am trying to make a pyramid from blocks . I know that for example to make a bigger block from small blocks you write something like :

for(int i = 10 ;i <=1 ; i--){
for (int j= 10 ;j <= 1 ; j--) {
< statement to create block where you use both i and j to define the location of each block>
}
}

but i cant seem go grasp how to make a pyramid , so far my best effort is :

int i =10 ;
while (i >=1 ) {
for( ; i>=1 ; i-- ){
< statement to create block > }
}

At the moment visually i don't get a pyramid but it might be because of other issues and not because of the while and then a for inside it approach .

My approach is correct and if now what would be the correct one to create a pyramid from smaller blocks ?

JDBC :: Simple Java Program Execution Time Varies All Over The Place

Mar 5, 2012

I've got a very simple java program (J.java, see below) on my application server that successfully connects to an Oracle 11.2 database on a database server (both servers are Linux CentOS) using JDBC thin driver from Oracle.

As you can see from the setURL command in the Java code below, I've configured the application and database servers to sit next to each other, and they're on the same network (cross-cable connected to each other), so there's no network traffic on these (development) boxes except my code.

The problem is the execution time varies a lot. If I run it 5 times, it (seemingly randomly) could take 0.01 seconds, or 10 seconds, or 50 seconds, or over a minute to execute. If it takes over a minute (roughly), the program doesn't complete, but the error shown below is returned instead.

------error returned when execution take more than about 1 minute-------
gf@host9 [~/dbwork]# java -cp ./ojdbc6_g.jar:. J

Java Recursion Word Pyramid?

public static void main(String[] args) {
//This program will create a word pyramid by using a recursive algorithm.
//For example, the output of "DOGGY" should be:
//DOGGY
//OGG
//G
//This program will also use a recursive algorithm to accomplish this.
String userWord = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Hello and welcome to the Word Pyramid program."

So, if I input HORSE the output should be:
