Variables Over Methods - Unresolved Compilation

Mar 17, 2015

I'm making a java program that can "convert" java to arduino by sending commands over a serial port. I'm using the JSSC library, and using methods to shorten things up a bit.

I've already made the code that starts up the serial port and it does connect. But I've made two different classes for the methods. One for the RXTX and one for the Arduino.

I'm making it so that I can just type:

Java Code:

public static void main(String[] args) {
RXTX.SerialSetup();
Arduino.pinMode(2, 0);
} mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

And it will start the serial port and set pinmode on pin 2 to output.

But when I try it I get this error:

Java Code:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems:

serialPort cannot be resolved mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

I don't know if its possible to 'send' a variable to a different method.

Accessing Instance Variables And Methods

Oct 24, 2014

I have the following 2 classes:

class Address {
private int a;
public void set_a(int a) {
this.a = a;
}
}
class Person {
private Address address;
}

How do i access the method set_a() (through the "address" in Person) from another class which contains main() ?

Do Inherited Methods Use Their Instance Variables?

Jan 8, 2014

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?

Using Setter And Getter Methods Instead Of Altering Variables

Apr 15, 2015

i need to change my code in order to stop the member variables from being directly altered and its been suggested that i should use a setter and getter method. Ive read up about these and im still unsure at how they should be implemented into my code for my project.

import ddf.minim.*;

Object / Methods - Private Instance Variables

Jun 30, 2014

so, i was reading my java book and learning about objects and methods and it starts talking about Encapsulation and mentions that it's good practice to set instance variables as private and instead of accessing the instance variables directly, we should create a set method and get method to get and set the stuff we want to pass to the class containing the object...

for example, in this class, we're passing the integer 70 for object dog one and integer 8 for object dog two for the dog class... and these these 2 integers are sent to the setsize method so we're not accessing instance variable size directly.

i dont quite get it though....if we the programmer are the one deciding what size the integer is for the dog, and the setsize method takes the one.setSize(70) or (8) and puts them in setsize(int s) as s... but only to copy that integer stored in s back to private int size.... why do we even need to bother with making these two extra methods such as setSize, getSize?

in the book it says that... well what if the code gets into the wrong hand and someone writes something like one.setSize(0) then you would get a dog with size 0 which is essentially illogical. but then again, i'm the programmer, and i am the person who writes the code and passing the right integer.The reason for public and private... that part i understand... i can see why if a variable's data can get changed amidst the code during calculations and you dont want it to directly change the original variable and have it mess up the code, but this code from the book just a bad example of demonstrating the reason? since we manually pass the information ourselves and passing it to method setSize... and all setSize does is stores it in another integer, only to copy it right away to size (which is the original private variable we were tryign to protect?

Any simple code to demonstrate how the code might end up changing an instance variable and why we would want to protect it by using private?

class GoodDog {
private int size;
public int getSize() {
return size;
}
public void setSize(int s) {
size = s;

JSF :: Call Variables Instead Of Methods From A Xhtml Page?

Jun 2, 2014

If I had this code:

<h:dataTable value="#{customer.customerList}" var="c"
styleClass="order-table"
headerClass="order-table-header"
rowClasses="order-table-odd-row,order-table-even-row"
>

And in the server getCustomerList() accessed to database, how many times getCustomerList() would be called from I request the xhtml page?. I have read this would be called several times because of JSF internals and It would be better to store it in a variable and access this variable.

1. Is this true this would be called several times? why?

2. If the previous statement was true, how to avoid it, I mean not call the method from a service?

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?

Arithmetic Methods Whose Main Method Holds Two Integer Variables

Jan 15, 2015

a. Create an application named ArithmeticMethods whose main() method holds two integer variables. Assign values to the variables. In turn, pass each value to methods named displayNumberPlus10(), displayNumberPlus100(), and displayNumberPlus1000(). Create each method to perform the task its name implies.

b. Modify the ArithmeticMethods class to accept the values of the two integers from a user at the keyboard.

No Compilation Error - No Class File Produced

Dec 24, 2014

I've a .java file that won't compile, but produces no errors (in cmd prompt).

I think its the import of java.util.ArrayList thats causing the problem (because it can compile a different file in the same source folder) - so i'm assuming its the classpath that is wrong. which is fine. i love fighting with classpaths.

But why isn't it providing me with an error. the compiler usually goes bat-sh.. crazy if the -cp is incorrect!

Its because I'm switching between command prompt and a text editor and it hadn't saved the file for some reason, and still won't am getting rid of this editor!!

Successful Compilation Not Generating Class File

Jun 5, 2014

Am facing a very strange issue. While trying to compile a very simple Hello World java program, the compilation completes successfully without any error or warning, but it does not generate the class file.
 
It happens when I compile with a particular jar file, otherwise compiling only the program (or with any other jar) does generate the class file. I am using java 1.7.0_45.

GUI Dice Game Compilation - Cannot Find Symbol Error

Nov 29, 2014

I'm having some difficulty getting this GUI dice game to compile. I'm using javac and notepad++ for this and I'm getting the following errors:

DiceGame.java:34: error: cannot find symbol
die2label = new JLabel();
^
symbol: variable die2label
location: class DiceGame

[Code] ....

4 errors

My code is as follows:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
public class DiceGame extends JFrame

I'm sure the problem is something trivial, but I guess that's all part of the learning process that I have to go through.

Populating HashMap - Code Too Large Compilation Error

Mar 17, 2014

We are getting "Code too large" compilation error for one of our class. This class contains public String fields for label ID and value. We use this class for localization, except for English all other language labels come from .properties files.
 
The reason we are getting this error is because we have a static block in which using reflection we are populating a HashMap with all public fields and their value. The number of fields have gone up to the extinct where we are crossing the 64K limit for a static method. One of the most feasible solution was to use .properties files for English labels as well.
 
I will be calling this class MyLabels. We defined a super class for MyLabels called MyLabelsExt. And now we are adding labels into the super class instead of the MyLabels. By running some tests we confirmed that the map that we initialize in MyLables class contains all the fields from both MyLabels and MyLabelsExt class.
 
How is the 64K limit error not coming if the labels are defined in a super class. Does that mean Java is able to identify that some of the fields are coming from parent class, and that is being treated as separate from the child class. And how is the map that we initialize having all the value.

A Public Class In Sub-folder Is Not Getting Found By Another Class While Compilation

Feb 14, 2014

I was doing coding exercise from a book ('OCP Java SE 6 - Practice Exams' by Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates). I came to a question that told to demonstrate the difference between 'default' and 'protected' access rules by creating/making a directory structure and putting a couple of classes in different packages.

For this, I made a total of four classes, out of which, three classes are-Car, TestingCars, CarDimensions. (The fourth is not yet used in testing code till now, so, I am giving only the other three classes.) Their coding is given below.

Out of these classes, the classes- TestingCars and Car - are in a directory (say, FolderName). And, the class- CarDimensions is in FolderName's sub-folder.

The class 'CarDimensions' is public (and its components too are public). And, I am testing all the classes from the class- 'TestingCars'. But, this class (TestingCars) is not able to find the public class- 'CarDimensions' which is in its sub-folder and gives two 'Cannot find symbol' errors citing the class-CarDimensions. Also, If all three classes are put in one single directory, the programs work, without any error.

Coding:
Class TestingCars:class TestingCars {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Car c = new Car();
c.setType("FourWheeler");

[Code]....

I could not find why the public class- CarDimensions- is not getting found by the TestingCars class.

Comparing Two Variables

Mar 30, 2014

Let's get it out of the way -- I'm stumped. On something that should be pretty simple to solve. Code follows.

public class Sum {
public static void main(String [] args) {
Double nSum = 0.0;
Double aDouble = 100.0;
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++){
nSum += 0.1;

[Code] ....

The output:

100.000000
100.000000
false
false
false
false
false

Process finished with exit code 0

I wrote another simple program and hardcoded the values: aDouble = 100.0; bDouble= 100.0000

Using aDouble.equals(bDouble) returns true, just as one would expect.

So what am I overlooking?
