Biochemist in desperate need of Java expertise!

Hello People
I'm a Biochemist, with no programming experience at all! I have an assignment where I have to create a programme whereby I store an array of different values for an amino acid (single char); I then paste in an amino acid sequence (a string) and using an equation, take each char and add them together and the result will tell me if it is ordered or disordered; basically I want to convert the string into chars and apply the equation and then add it up; I also have to create a GUI and applet (whatever those are?)
could any of you help me in any way? some script I can play around with would be fantasic!!
thankyou in advance
regards
Dan

Please help as much as you can or as little i desperatly need help.

Oi mate there's no need to be nasty, i was asking why
and you just throw it in my face,Nobody is throwing anything in your face. You threw a stack trace at us and said Java is broken help me.
Well Java is not broken.
The Java program you are running is broken.
But we don't know what it is doing and where it is broken. Only the people with the source for the program (puzzlepirates) can help you.
It is not my fault if they won't help you or told you Java is broken.
and it seems that the java is not working or
something else is wrong on my computerAs a wild guess there is something wrong with the DNS on your machine or proxy or something like that. This is a guess based on the UnknownHostException. But again that is only a guess and the best guess one can make based on the information present.
The problem I think is that their applet tries to do something but doesn't account for connections like yours and is blowing up because of that.
Again only a guess and in the end really does nothing to solve your problem. If you want to solve this problem email the stack trace and perhaps my comments in this post about the UnknownHostException to puzzlepirates and ask them for help.
Nobody else can help you but them.

Hi apple users, I am in need of your expertise. I have a mov file and mp4 file which I need converted to DVD. However IDVD quality is terrible and wondering if anyone can help!?
I created project in iMovie then exported it to MP4 and also MOV file at highest definition possible + I added it to iDVD and had a number issues about encoding errors regarding the mp4 file. MOV worked but the quality was terrible.....
MOV file is as follows:

I have a MacBook Pro using the Yosemite system upgrade.
I have updated iDVD and iMovie.
I even bought the iSkysoft app from the mac store and that was terrible too.
PLEASE HELP i am getting desperate and about to launch this macbook into the air
2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
Version 10.10. 2

First of all, Hunt--thanks for responding!
"First, where are you playing the MPEG-2, that you see that jitter?"
On both a MacBook Pro, an Acer laptop and my Mac Tower. I would love to think that it is a problem with the playback system, and that if I merely send the file off to the duplicator they won't have the same problem. Maybe that is the case...I don't know if I have a choice rather than sending it off to see. But it happens in the same spots, in the same way, on all three of the players so I'm a little reluctant to have faith.
"Another thing that can cause jitter in an MPEG-2 is the Bit-Rate - higher the Bit-Rate, the better the quality, but the larger the file. For a DVD, one is limited by the total Bit-Rate (both Audio & Video), but with longer prodcutions, some users choose too low a Bit-Rate. If this is the issue, one would need to go back to the original Project and do a new Export/Share."
Of course, but in the case there is no more 'original project.' It is gone like the wind, stolen along with his computer and backups.
I think I am stuck using one of two files as my master: a DVD he burned where I only see the stutter/vibration/jitter once, or the mpeg2 file where I see it three times. Hopefully, the duplication house can rip if off of one of them and not see the jitter. I know that in audio, my personal filed, you can do a lot to enhance already existing sound--EQ, compression, tape saturation emulation software, etc. I guess I'm hoping there is some kind of analog to the video world that address jitter after a source has been printed--if indeed the source has been printed to be jittery.
Thanks,
Doug

Message "to open MLBNexDefAutobahn, you need a Java SE 6 runtime. Would you like to install one now?" I click "not now" and it pops open a second later. It won't go away. Help!

I keep getting a pop up window labled Software Update saying, "To open 'MLBNexDefAutobahn,' you need a Java SE 6 runtime. Would you like to install one now?" I click on "Not Now" and it pops open again a second later. It is not going away! Is this a Java virus? I just installed Maverick Wednesday and got a message yesterday on google that "Google would like to take over this computer"??? Please help.
Thanks!

This is not a virus, or any other kind of malware. Some third-party software that you have installed is repeatedly trying to open a Java process called MLBNexDefAutobahn. What that software might be, I don't know. What software do you have that this name might fit with?

To open you need a Java SE 6 runtime. Why, when I have 1.7 installed?

PREFACE: I've read most of the posts on here that discuss this issue but none have provided a real answer to this.
I'm on Moutain Lion w/ all the latest updates from the App Store.
I've installed Oracle's latest Java JDK (7u11) because of the recent security issue. When I go to Terminal and type in "java -version", it's the latest version of Oracle's 1.7. I don't have Apple's 1.6 version of Java on my system. I've verified that by checking in the appropriate System folder for the 1.6 JRE & JDK.
So all seems to be fine so far and per Apple's recommendation, I'm using Oracle's latest version of Java.
So when I go to run Charles debugging proxy, which is a Java desktop app, I get the following message in a dialog:
"To open "Charles,” you need a Java SE 6 runtime. Would you like to install one now?"
If I have the latest Oracle Java version installed, why am I being prompted to install Apple's 1.6 version?
I've had this prompt in the past and went through the install before. Contrary to what another poster in another thread says, choosing install at the prompt ignores the fact that 1.7 is installed and does in fact install Apple Java 1.6. It's an outdated version of Java which I don't want on my system.
Why do I need to install Apple's 1.6 when Oracle's Java 1.7 latest is already there?

You would need to ask the "Charles" developer that question. There seem to be quite a few issues regarding Java 1.6 and 1.7 with the Oracle version causing the most trouble. This, of course, is not an Apple problem to solve. The Java community and Oracle need to sort out their troubles.
You can, of course, have both versions on your system but you need to do some terminal work to switch between them. Apple has a tech support document that explains how to do that.

You need a java SE 6 Runtime

I have Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro and every time I run "Dreamweave" or "Eclipse" for example, I get this message: "To open "Eclipse" you need a java SE 6 runtime. Would you like to install it now ?".
I've tried installing it many many times, manualy and from this notification but it doesnt work.
I've tried installing Java 7 and tried uninstalling Java 7 then installing "Java For OSX 2013-002" and dosent work too !
everytime I install any Java version I tried this "java -version" I got this result "No Java runtime present, requesting install." !
anybody can help ?
Thanks

Contact the developers of that software for a updated 10.8.3 verison that runs off Java 7.
They are likely working on it or perhaps something better not relying upon Java at all.
Java is a real security nightmare lately.

Do I need the 'java-polling-amf in my services-config.xml if I'm using coldfusion

Do I need the 'java-polling-amf in my services-config.xml if I'm using coldfusion?
Im using IntelliJ IDEA with a flex project and for some reason its stopping comilation with this error:
[SUITE (Flex Application 1)] flex.messaging.config.ConfigurationException: The services configuration includes a channel-definition 'java-polling-amf' that has an endpoint with a context.root token but a context root has not been defined. Please specify a context-root compiler argument.
when I was using flex builder with CF builder I never needed to specify the context.root

I don't use IDEA, so I don't know what kind of configuration settings it has for Flex project development.
You don't need the java-polling-amf channel for CF development. By default, CF development uses CF-specific channels:
my-cfamf
cf-polling-amf
my-cfamf-secure
any custom channels you've created yourself for CF to use
That said, all the channels require a context root setting for your project to compile properly. If you still have Flash Builder handy, take a look at your compiler switches for a project there to see what you're missing in IDEA.

Does anyone know if Apple has any plans to create an electronic medical records (EMR) program? And if not, who do I email to suggest just that as a new market in desperate need of some new innovation?

There already are some tools in the App Store (eg. My Medical - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-medical/id347860026?mt=8).
If you mean something that would interact directly with a Hospitals main system or such, I don't know of any. There are numerous companies now selling and setting up central records systems around the country, but I don't know of any that are working on companion patient tools yet.
Some charity and non-profit companies, like MedicAlert Foundation are working on such things and may have mobile apps on their radar, as funds allow them to develop such thing. MedicAlert already offers an EMIR service online, but no standalone mobile app for it yet (you manage it via their web portal).
Epocrates (owned by Athena Health) might also have something in the works, or at least an interest in such a thing.

Help needed with java

Hello everyone
I'm a Student and new to java and I have been given a question which I have to go through. I have come across a problem with one of the questions and am stuck, so I was wondering if you guys could help me out.
here is my code so far:
A Class that maintains Information about a book
This might form part of a larger application such
as a library system, for example.
@author (your name)
*@version (a version number or a date)*
public class Book
// instance variables or fields
private String author;
private String title;
Set the author and title when the book object is constructed
public Book(String bookAuthor, String bookTitle)
author = bookAuthor;
title = bookTitle;
Return The name of the author.
public String getAuthor()
return author;
Return The name of the title.
public String getTitle()
return title;
and below are the questions that I need to complete. they just want me to add codes to my current one, but the problem is I don't know where to put them and how I should word them, if that makes sense.
Add a further instance variable/field pages to the Book class to store the number of pages in the book.
This should be of type int and should be set to 0 in the Constructor.
Add a second Constructor with signature
public Book(String bookAuthor, String bookTitle, int noPages) so it has a third parameter passed to it as well as the author and title;
this parameter is used - obviously?? - to initialise the number of pages.
Note: This is easiest done by making a copy of the existing Constructor and adding the parameter.
Add a getPages() accessor method that returns the number of pages in the book.
Add a method printDetails() to your Book class. This should print out the Author title and number of pages to the Terminal Window. It is your choice as to how the data is formatted, perhaps all on one line, perhaps on three, and with or without explanatory text. For instance you could print out in the format:
Title: Robinson Crusoe, Author: Daniel Defoe, Pages:226
Add a further instance variable/field refNumber() to your Book class. This stores the Library's reference number. It should be of type String and be initialised to the empty String "" in the constructor, as its initial value is not passed in as a parameter. Instead a public mutator method with the signature:
public void setRefNumber(String ref) should be created. The body of this method should assign the value of the method parameter ref to the refNumber.
Add a corresponding getRefNumber() accessor method to your class so you can check that the mutator works correctly
Modify your printDetails() method to include printing the reference number of the book.
However the method should print the reference number only if it has been set - that is the refNumber has a non-zero length.
If it has not been set, print "ZZZ" instead.
Hint Use a conditional statement whose test calls the length() method of the refNumber String and gives a result like:
Title: Jane Eyre, Author: Charlotte Bronte, Pages:226, RefNo: CB479 or, if the reference number is not set:
Title: Robinson Crusoe, Author: Daniel Defoe, Pages:347, RefNo: ZZZ
Modify your setRefNumber() method so that it sets the refNumber field only if the parameter is a string of at least three characters. If it is less than three, then print an error message (which must contain the word error) and leave the field unchanged
Add a further integer variable/field borrowed to the Book class, to keep a count of the number of times a book has been borrowed. It should (obviously??) be set to 0 in the constructor.
Add a mutator method borrow() to the class. This should increment (add 1 to) the value of borrowed each time it is called.
Include an accessor method getBorrowed() that returns the value of borrowed
Modify Print Details so that it includes the value of the borrowed field along with some explanatory text
PS. sorry it looks so messey

1. In the future, please use a more meaningful subject. "Help needed with java" contains no information. The very fact that you're posting here tells us you need help with Java. The point of the subject is to give the forum an idea of what kind of problem you're having, so that individuals can decide if they're interested and qualified to help.
2. You need to ask a specific question. If you have no idea where to start, then start here: [http://home.earthlink.net/~patricia_shanahan/beginner.html]
3. When you post code, use code tags. Copy the code from the original source in your editor (NOT from an earlier post here, where it will already have lost all formatting), paste it in here, highlight it, and click the CODE button.

Can i download java for my ipad, the problem is i open glovis.usgs from my ipad, but i can't see the full page, cause the page need a java...help me please

Nope. The iPad (and iPhone and iPod touch) cannot execute Java applets. It's a limitation in iOS from the beginning (just like lack of Flash). You will either need to use a desktop computer or access a desktop computer via RDP or VNC to access that page on iPad.mIn short: there is no native way to use a Java applet on iOS.

Need Sample java code

Hi,
iam working in SAP .
I need sample java code on how to convert Decimal to number
For Ex: I/p-----123.11
O/p----------------12311 ( with out decimal) want to remove the dicimal point what ever the input value and deliver it to the output
Please give me code
Regards
Suman

i don't know what do you want to do really. If you are doing it simply then you can take the input in a String and then remove the decimal.
String str = "123.11";
str = str.substring(0, str.indexOf("."));
System.out.println(str);

I need some Java inspiration

Maybe because I'm running on empty, waiting for lunch, but I'm not feeling inspired.
So, I need some Java inspiration. What was the last Java-"thing" (anything, from a coding trick, to a class, package, tool, etc...) that made you say "giddy-up!"

> super cool stuff.
Another example from the book, but I'll write the Java-equivalent first.
List list = Arrays.asList(
    Arrays.asList(1, 0),
    Arrays.asList(0, 1, 2)
Collections.sort(list, new Comparator() { // sort by first element
    public int compare(Object o1, Object o2) {
        List list1 = (List) o1;
        List list2 = (List) o2;
        Integer a = (Integer) list1.get(0);
        Integer b = (Integer) list2.get(0);
        return a.compareTo(b);
List expected = Arrays.asList(
    Arrays.asList(0, 1, 2),
    Arrays.asList(1, 0)
assert list.equals(expected);Here's the Groovy equivalent:
def list = [ [1, 0], [0, 1, 2] ]
list = list.sort { a, b -> a[0] <=> b[0] } // sort by first element
assert list == [ [0, 1, 2], [1, 0] ]Oh, and I'm with duffymo. Spring is a blast.
