The programming thread!

That Usuario package is something that he found either on a disc or something he downloaded. It's some class he uses to take input from the user and print to the console (e.g. Usuario.entero takes in an integer from the keyboard input). Just replace that crap with the Scanner class and System.out.print I guess.

@Rolos: Throw that Usuario package in the garbage, you already have all those functions in Java.

[Rolos]

Right, right.
I got that package from a friend. It´s the one they use to teach programming to engineers in "Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile", which he attends.
The only reason I´m using it is because I can´t, for the life of me, find a single thing online about input-output comands in java. Perhaps it´s considered so damn basic no one´s thought of telling anyone else about, perhaps I´m just a moron who doesn´t know how to navigate Java libraries.
I´m beginning to suspect the latter is far more likely.

Pointless garbage I just can´t seem to skip when writing anything:
[spoiler]Either way, I´d be willing to pay 3 fresh human organs for that information. The state they arrive in will depend on a number of factors I can´t really go into right now, but I promise they will show up at your front door, eventually.
Ugh.
What a retarded thing to offer.
Anyway, how I do that? The input thing, I mean.
Python, how I miss you! All I had to do was write input (" ") or eval(input(" ")) and that was it.
But now I´m forced to us strange, alien packages to do that.
Java is a cruel and whimsical mistress.[/spoiler]

I would personally use JFrames and ActionListener for user input. I'll try to whip up a little example in a bit.

EDIT:
O.K., small example here with JFrame and ActionListener.

This is the JFrame class.

Code: Select all

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
//need these to use JFame and ActionListener. I don't remember which is for which.

public class TehFrame extends JFrame implements ActionListener  //your class uses JFame as a base, letting you use all the sexy JFrame stuff.
{																					 //uses ActionListener to react to things the user does
	//set the width and height so you can change them here if you need to
	final int WIDTH = 200;			
	final int HEIGHT = 300;
	
	//initialize components
	JLabel question = new JLabel("Sup");
	JTextField answer = new JTextField(10);
	JButton pressMe = new JButton("Press Me!");
	JLabel sup = new JLabel("");
	
	public TehFrame()
	{
		super("Title Goes Here");
		setSize(WIDTH, HEIGHT);
		setVisible(true);
		setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		setLayout(new FlowLayout());
		
		add(question);
		add(answer);
		add(pressMe);
		add(sup);
		
		pressMe.addActionListener(this); //tells the program to go to the actionPerformed method when this button is pressed
	}
	
	public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
	{
		String said = answer.getText();
		String wussup = said + " is up.";
		
		sup.setText(wussup);
	}
}

Here's the main class

Code: Select all

public class example
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		TehFrame newFrame = new TehFrame();
	
	}
}

Your code would of course include a lot of methods for the frame and stuff happening in the main program, but that's the basic idea. Lemme know if I messed anything up or wasn't clear on something. Looking forward to your quiz

[somefatman]

I assume he meant for command line input/output
input:

Code: Select all

import Scanner;//err check the import package stuff or have an IDE do it for you
...
private Scanner input;
...
input.nextInt();//returns next integer entered on command line, should error I believe if not proper input
input.next();//returns whatever the user enter on the command line

output:

Code: Select all

System.out.print("Prints this stuff");//prints any string without a new line to the command line
System.out.println("Prints this stuff and a new line");

If you want GUI input/output, then the Swing API has the required classes:
Jlabel, JTextField, JTextArea, JComboBox etc

PS ship the body parts to "1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW Washington, DC 20500"

[Rolos]

Thanks for the help, guys.
I'll make the changes this friday.
I won't be able to dedicate much of the weekend to this program, though, the amount of homework I've been piling up in my closet is ungodly.

By the way, the applet thing sounds interesting. As soon as I find out what they are, apart from a remarkably chewy-sounding word, I'll get to it.

@DrPepperPro: You really like doing that, don't you?

[DrPepperPro]

I'm just interacting with the Rolos Application.

Don't, you'll brake him (or he'll break himself, I don't know).

@Rolos
JFrame will work just as well, but it's a graphical interface (windows and text boxes, etc.), so you have to worry about those things and it's a little more complicated (not that much though). With the Scanner class you can work in the console, so I suggest start with the Scanner class and then move onto JFrame if you like. Here's how to use the Scanner class to take input from the user:

(Unless I made a mistake you should be able to copy all this into a file, compile and run.)

Code: Select all

import java.util.Scanner;

public class InputOutputProgram
{
      public static void main (String[] args)
      {
            Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in); //Make an instance of a Scanner that uses System.in as an InputStream.
            String name; //String to hold name that user will input
            int age; //Integer to hold age that user will input

            System.out.print("Please enter your name: "); //Write a message on the console.
            name = keyboard.nextLine() //Take whatever the user typed as a string and save it into 'name'.
                                                      //The nextLine() function reads in the whole line, while the 
                                                      //next() function only reads in the next token, which might
                                                      //work the exact same way in this situation.

            System.out.print("Please enter your age: "); //Write another message.
            age = keyboard.nextInt(); //Take input from the user and save it as an integer in 'age'. 
                                                  //Note: If you type something that's not a number, the program will 
                                                  //throw an exception (i.e. crash) because it is expecting an integer.

            System.out.println("\n\nYour name is " + name + " and your age is " + age); //Final message.
      }
}

For further information of what functions you have available in the Scanner class (and more examples), consult the Java API:

Yeah, you should get the actual program done with scanner first. Then you can create the sexy interface with JFrame or Applet. They're pretty much the same thing except you can put an applet on a website.

Also, are you using anything to help you create the program or just straight up command line compiling from text editors? There are a bunch of free development kits that help you create and debug programs (jGRASP, JCreator). They make it much easier to catch mistakes, so you should consider using one if you aren't already.

[Rolos]

I'm using ECLIPSE, and hate every second of it, for reasons not entirely unlike the ones that made me completely renounce to Microsoft Word. I know it's incredibly useful to have any syntactical mistakes pointed out whilst writing the code, but it still annoys the hell out of me.
[spoiler]My thought processes while using it can be accurately described as follows:
SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU GODDAMN MACHINE! I'll import as many packages as I like, create as many never-referenced variables as I wish! Don't you dare double-guess me, you foul ethereal contraption! Who are you to deny me the right to add a 'Don_Flamboyant_Spanish_Gentilhombre = true' to every single class I make? You are nothing! NOTHING! I CURSE YOU! I CURSE YOUR FAMILY! I CURSE YOUR FAMILY'S PETS! I CURSE THE PEOPLE WHO RAISED, GROOMED AND TOOK CARE OF THOSE PETS UNTIL THEY REACHED AN AGE AT WHICH THE LIKELIHOOD OF THEM BEING BOUGHT AT A LOCAL PET STORE WAS HIGH! I CURSE THE FREE-MARKET SYSTEM, WHICH ALLOWS FOR - Oh, thanks for pointing that out. Really missed that comma there. Wait.

DAMN YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU![/spoiler]

Ahem.

Friday.

@Sandimas: Why would you do something like that? Just... why?
@DrPepperPro: I don't really mind, as long as it's funny. Like that Diogenes thing. Man, that was genius. You do realize I'm going to steal that idea and pass it off as my own, don't you?

[DrPepperPro]

ya that thing I did that you mentioned was pretty neat, I wonder if the Diogenes guy thought that could happen? Then again he didn't know about copy paste or such. What would spam bots be to him?

cough. Ugh I'm bored. Berserk coming out in a couple days though. We'll include your program in each release, in fact start making it so it can display images, we'll just release chapters in a java app and force them to answer a question to read each page. And no I'm not trying to be funny, just stupid/bored talk whatever. Oh but now I've gone and went meta, things can never be the same in this post. I don't even know why I posted this post, it should've just stayed in my head to die at a somewhat later date, now it will have to wait for this thread to.

[Mail]

Heh. Well. If you think about it, Eclipse is stored as electrical charge on your hard disk. Which means that it's made of pure energy. Which means it's technically achieved a higher state of existence than you. So you should probably listen when it gives you advice.

Also, it's generally a bad idea to create non-referenced variables as they just clutter up the program. And while a 'bool Don_Flamboyant_Spanish_Gentilhombre = true' might be aesthetically pleasing and/or humorous to you, it probably wouldn't help with the organization and execution of the program.

So you gonna put something up friday? I'm looking forward to it



@DrPepperPro

That would be such a dick move.

....

You should totally do it.

[Rolos]

There's no such thing as pure energy.

[Mail]

That....depends on how you define energy. As defined by physical science, you are correct. However, to many people the word energy has taken on additional metaphysical meaning (Chi, Ki, spiritual energy) that isn't necessarily definable in a purely physical sense. Which means it can be its own distinct entity and therefore pure.

But yes. Your program is not pure energy. I'm sorry for suggesting it.

...how's the program coming?

[Rolos]

Just fixed the problem I had been having with the serialization.
It was just a quick fix, I'm definitely not dedicating more time to that particular activity today.
Tomorrow I'll change the input commands and get to writing the quiz program, then the questions.
Depending on whether I manage to finish this definitely not illegal thing I have to do today, I may start doing the graphical interface.
Chances of that happening are slim, though.
I know I've been fairly slow-paced about this, I apologize.
(Heh. No I don't. Disraeli would never permit such a thing.)

EDIT1:

Haven't really done anything new. Been working on something else.
Anyway, changed the input/output commands and got rid of the Usuario package.

Most of the comments are in spanish, though.
I usually write/program everything in english, as I find it to be a good way to practice my redaction and language skills, but not this time.
Why?
I don't know.
(I'll proooobably do the questions tonight, but I won't upload them until I have the entire questionnaire done. It'd be boring otherwise, since I intend to do some modifications to the program for this particular questionnaire)

EDIT6: I've written about 0.5 of the total number of questions. Way more difficult than I thought it would be. Also, doing some modifications to the Question_O_Matic program, just for my own amusement.
Aaaand working on a program that tells you what input will provide the most random sequence of numbers, for that other program I did (which uses the current date and hour as a seed for the iterations, so it can be a bit predictable unless you give it the appropriate input).

[Rolos]

PROGRAMMING!
It is totally awesome.
Tooooootally.
The new algebra, I say.
The new algebra.

[Rolos]

Sometime next week I'll start working on this thing again.
I just haven't had the time.

[Rolos]

Currently working on a program that sends you a funny little message every time a child dies of starvation.
I guess I'll be using 3 or 4 of those 'feel bad for being rich, you bad, bad person' polls and average them.
If I do this right the program should be on the background until someone is statistically likely to have kicked the bucket, at which point a message should pop-out telling you that it's none of your business and that you should feel justified, indeed, proud in your complacency.

It's a good way to practice with graphical interfaces, me thinks.

[DrPepperPro]

1 child dies every 5 seconds as a result of hunger - 700 every hour - 16 000 each day - 6 million each year - 60% of all child deaths (2002-2008 estimates).[14][15][16][17][18]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_mortality

Sounds about right. Again, we'll include it in the Berserk releases. Maybe a Berserk themed one? Anyways sounds fun! I'm excited!

[Rolos]

Whelp, that's it for the week, fellas!
I'll probably work on the questionnaire this friday/saturday, upload the results the night of the same day.
I wish you all a relatively painless death, at the old age of 70.
Pray that I live forever.

Oh, but first:

(I don't really feel like navigating out of this page, so I'll just post it here)

@Aluja: Kara no Kyouki is not bad, but it doesn't really, well, do anything. With anything.
Everything about it is just so...dull.
Your tastes in anime are downright bizarre, man.
I prescribe you some Tatami Galaxy to cure your extraneous illness.

P.S. I believe the children fatality program is the greatest idea I've ever taken out of a cereal box. Juvenile, but funny. I'll work on it, eventually, then post it here.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go kill the president (allegory for masturbation? Note to self: edit later).
Up, up and away!

[Aluja]

Yeah I'd imagine mine tastes be weird to you, you know, since I'm watching everything with an open mind and all...

This one is probably my fave this generation.

This program creates, refines and measures the degree of randomness of a sequence of pseudo-random numbers.
It works fairly well for up to 1000000 values, after which the patterns starts becoming a little too obvious for it to be useful.
It was a real challenge to write, despite its rather simple nature.
I've been very absorbed by the mathematical study of chaos lately.
There's a very interesting article on the subject titled "Omega and why there can be no TOE in mathematics", you guys should google it if you're interested.
I don't want to spoil it, but the ink splash example is fucking awesome.

[dialdfordesi]

So this is probably the world's most awesome question: how do I use that code to see the program in action?

[Mail]

Well you'd have a hard time doing that cause Rolos won't stop using that goddamn usario package. But if he wasn't using some random Spanish package, you would just dl the java sdk, copy his code into a text file, save the file as "classname".java (where classname is the name of the class he created) and compile it. I think. I use a Java development program called jGRASP that I can use to compile it so I'm not very familiar with the command line process. Of couse, that's all hypothetical since no one but Rolos can use that GODDAMNED PACKAGE.

[dialdfordesi]

It's depressing that Rolos won't allow anyone else to play with his package
