String Type Array As Argument Of Main
Sep 29, 2014I have learn that every function in java is treated as a normal function including main() except that execution of a program starts here. I tried to overload it.
But I am getting error while doing so via String type array as an argument of main.
class Hello
{
public static void main()
{
System.out.println("Hello");
}
public static void main(String... s)
{
System.out.println("main from Hello");

Passing Object Argument To A Method - Unable To Call Methods On Argument
Feb 7, 2015I am trying to pass an object of type Product p to my editProduct method, however trying to call p.getName(); doesn't work and throws a NullPointerException. The same kind of thing works for my displayRecord method (in a different class) and I can call .getName() on Product p, also passed as an argument to that method. Below is my editProduct class. The NullPointerExcepion is being thrown at line 61 (i.e., nameField.setText(p.getName());).
I don't know if I explained right, so here's a line thing of how the classes relate:
Search >>>(field.getText())>>> displayRecord(Product p) >>>editProduct(p)>>> EditProduct
And as a side note: adding the line p = new Product(); fixes it and successfully runs the class (including the Save and Quit parts) but obviously I want it to specifically refer to the Product I pass to the method.
Java Code:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.FocusEvent;
import java.awt.event.FocusListener;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import javax.swing.BorderFactory;
[Code] ....
I'm asking a question because I don't understand how Product p could possibly be null, because the argument is passed through my DisplayRecord class, which also takes a Product p argument and works. In that class, I have declared Product prod = p; and prod is what I am passing to editProduct.

Method Get In Type Paths Is Not Applicable For Argument
Jun 4, 2014I am using Oracle Java 8 in Eclipse working on both Ubuntu and OSX. I have this code:
Java Code:
private static String getConfigDir(){

But for the method get() of Paths, I get this error in eclipse.The method get(String, String[]) in the type Paths is not applicable for the argument..Yet on the Oracle documentation site, it uses a similar example:

May 27, 2014I have to write a method called censor that gets an array of strings from the user as an argument and then returns an array of strings that contains all of the original strings in the same order except those with length of 4. For example if cat, dog, moose, lazy, with was entered, then it would return the exact same thing except for the words with and lazy.
Currently, my code so far just prints [Ljava.lang.String;@38cfdf and im stuck.

Main Method Separated From Other Method
Jan 13, 2014Here's a class called Fibonacci
Java Code:
public class Fibonacci {
public static int fib(int n) {
if (n < 2) {return n;}
else {return fib(n-1)+fib(n-2);}
[code]....
it contains one method called fib() and one main method.If I would want to have the main method in another class than fib(), how would I write the two classes? Only cutting the main method from this class to another one doesn't work.My question is, is the reason it doesn't work because I then would have to have a constructor in the Fibonacci class, and create a Fibonacci object first which I then use the method on?

Jan 26, 2014The idea is to create a program to add plants and retrieve plants from a Nursery. I created a class with the properties of the plants and also there is the class an Array list to keep track of the plants entered ( they will have to be printed later) (I am not too sure if adding a public class there is the best option.
The program will allow the user to pick and action and from there the code will do something. I don't want to have all the code inside 'main' The problem is in line 114.This is what I have so far.

Calling A Method To The Main
Sep 10, 2014I have been reading about methods and I do have a beginner level understanding on how they work. I was trying to mess around and make a dog calculator using methods. I ran into a small snag; I cannot get the method to call to the main or the program to compile correctly. The first code below is the original. To me it looks like (based off of some examples I looked at) there should be no problems, but NetBeans gives me a few errors. 1) line 8- "cannot find symbol, variable dogYearCalc; 2) line 18 illegal start of expression; and 3) line 22 - unreachable statement.
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class KrisExample {
public static void main (String[] args) {
double dogYears = 0;
JOptionPane.showInputDialog (null,"Please enter you dog's age in human years:");
[Code] ....
Someone told me that I was calling dogYearCalc without any arguments in your main method. I take that to mean that I needed to add it to the main, so I did here:
public static void main (String[] args, double dogYearCalc) {
That got rid of my first error, but then when I tried to run the program NetBeans said that I have no main class, so switched back to the original program above.
I thought that when I calling the dogYearCalc method on line 10 was the whole purpose of using a method. It seems to me that putting it somewhere in the main is counter productive.

Splitting Up Main Method / Class?
Jan 29, 2014I've written a program just for the sake of it (to learn) and it seem's like theres quite a lot in the main method that perhaps could be split up into seperate classes. I'm not too sure where should start with this though, or what my thought process should have been as I was writing the program.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Loops {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int answer = 16;
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
// Question
System.out.println("What is 4 x 4 ?");
[code]...
--- Update ---
here's a version without code comments as they might make it harder to read here -
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Loops {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int answer = 16;
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("What is 4 x 4 ?");

Cannot Call Child Method From Main
May 7, 2015I can call a child method from a main method. If I have a parent called "Assessment", a child called "Quiz", and another child called "test". Can I instinate an object like Assessment a = new test(); and call a method in test.I know the method can be called if I instinate the test t = new test() but that defeats the purpose of inheritance which I'm learning in class.
View Replies View RelatedCalling Object To Main Method
Oct 26, 2014When I try to call an object it can't find the symbol in the argument list. NetBeans says that it cannot find the movieCategory symbol when I try to call it. When I compile it to test a popup comes up that states "One or more projects were compiled with errors. Application you are running may end unexpectedly. I ran it anyways and everything runs up to the point of where it should call the object.
At this point it should get the Movie object and run the code within that, but if I put one of the categories it throws. "Exception in thread "main" java. lang.RuntimeException: Uncompilable source code - Erroneous tree type: <any>at MovieApp.main(MovieApp.java:33)Java Result: 1"
From my understanding to call an object it requires objectName.methodName(argumentList). Here is my Main method
/**
*This application will store a list of 100 movies and display them by category
*/
import java.util.Scanner;
public class MovieApp
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
//Displays <code>String</code> welcome message
System.out.println("Welcome to the Movie Application.");
System.out.println("There are 100 movies in the list.");

Return Int X To Main Method And Print It Out
Oct 10, 2014I tried to create a simple program. The main method is supposed to call out the secondary method to use Scanner in order to ask a person to type in a number, which will be assigned to int x. Then the secondary method supposed to return the int x to main method, which supposed to print it out. And for some reason I just can't do it. No matter what the main method refusing to accept the int x.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Return{
static Scanner newNum= new Scanner(System.in);
public static void main(String[] args){
getInt();
System.out.println(x);
}
public static getInt( ) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
int x;
System.out.print("give a num");
x= newNum.nextInt();
return x;
}}
