Can't see whats wrong? help

Hi i've made an applet that has 12 buttons on it, and when the user presses 4 buttons it is stored in an array called myList. Each time a button is pressed sequenceCheck method i created gets called. This has a list of the possible correct combinations that the user could press the buttons in. I have 23 solutions so far. Most of them are working fine however any solution that has the button10, button11 or button 12 in it doesn't seem to work? And i'm not sure why? I've looked at the code over and over and can't see what i've done wrong.
Solutions that don't seem to work are: solution 3, solution 7, solution 8, solution 9, solution 11, solution 13, solution 16, solution 17, solution 18, solution 18, solution 19, solution 20, solution 22 and solution 23. Sll of which have ethier button 10, button 11 or button 12 in it?
If anyone can see what i've done it would really appreciate the help.

From [How To Ask Questions The Smart Way|http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html]
[Volume is not precision|http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#volume] :
You need to be precise and informative. This end is not served by simply dumping huge volumes of code or data into a help request. If you have a large, complicated test case that is breaking a program, try to trim it and make it as small as possible.
This is useful for at least three reasons. One: being seen to invest effort in simplifying the question makes it more likely you'll get an answer, Two: simplifying the question makes it more likely you'll get a useful answer. Three: In the process of refining your bug report, you may develop a fix or workaround yourself.
Also please read up on god-objects (wikipedia has a write up on this) which is cured by dividing and conquering. Finally, you really need to simplify this code by using loops with your arrays. You can shorten this beast by over 70%, easy making it much, much easier to debug.

  • Can anybody see what is wrong with this SQL statement?

    Hey guys, just a quick question. Can anybody tell me what is wrong with this line of SQL? I keep getting a syntax error message. I've been trying for ages and I can't see any problem at all!"
    {code}prepStat = connection.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO WeatherHistory (Date, Location, Overview, Temperature, WindDirection, WindSpeed, Pressure) VALUES ('"+date+"','"+location+"','"+temp+"','"+windDir+"','"+windSpd+"','"+pressure+"')");{code}

    And how exactly am I misusing Prepared Statements here?As noted above, not according to the code you posted. I didn't just pluck something out of my @ss and throw it out there. There was a reason behind what I said. And, if you mean you changed it, and you still got an exception, then post that exception (completely), and your new code, which is, hopefully, using PreparedStatement, (properly).

    It's not a good idea to use a network disk for both Time Machine backups and other things.  By design Time Machine will eventually consume all the space on its output disk, which will then cause problem for your other files.  I'd store those other files on an external disk connected to the Time Capsule.  The problem with that is that Time Machine will only back up files that are local to your Mac.  That means that you'll only have one copy of the files on or attached to your Time Capsule.
    By the way, you've been misled by poor field labeling on this forum into typing a large part of your message into the field intended for the subject.  In the future just type a short summary of your post into that field and type the whole message into the field below that.

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • Adobe Community Help search box is black.  Can't see what I type for inquiry.

    When I click on help in Photoshop or Bridge
    CS5 the Community Help search box appears, but the entire left column is black.  I can't see what I type or see any results, although they're there (I can click at random in that black column and I get some result on the right).  Anyone know how to fix that?

    I uninstalled Air and Flash, then downloaded and reinstalled each of them.
    Clicking on Help in Bridge now results is black backgrounds on the top row (left and right), and when I type in a search term it appears in white.  However, I get no results from my inquiry (I typed in "photo", among others).  Anything else I could try?  Help was never very helpful, but at least it was someplace to start....

  • Where can i see what photos are stored on icloud

    Hi i have lost some photo's from my computers hard drive!!!! arrrgh! the photo's were taken with my old iphone and orginally shared on my icloud account! How can i see what my icloud is storing????
    HELP PLEASE!!!!

    Photo stream photos can only been seen on devices connected to your photo stream, not on icloud.com.  Also, be aware that photos are only kept in photo stream for 30 days.  After that they are removed from photo stream but will remain on any device that has already received them.  In other words, if the photos you are looking for are older than 30 days they won't be in photo stream any longer.  They would only be in the photo stream album of a device that has already received these older photos from photo stream.
    The only other place iCloud stores photos is in a device backup.  If your old phone was backed up to iCloud and if the backup is still in iCloud, the backup should contain the photos.  However, the ony way to acces them would be to restore a device to the entire backup, including all its data, not just the photos.
    Finally, if you backed up your old phone to your computer by syncing it with iTunes, this backup would also include camera roll photos.  If the backup is on your computer you can use 3rd party software such as iPhone Backup Extractor to extract the photos from this backup and avoid having to restore the entire backup to another device to access them.

    Thank you Winston. I guess we need to ask that this feature gets added at least as an option in an upcoming release. When someone is using shuffle, it helps to know what is playing while viewing pictures.

  • How can I see what photos are stored on iCloud?

    How can I see what photos are stored on iCloud? I haven't used Photo Stream before so there are no photos on there that I can see.
    Help needed ASAP.
    Thanks

    If you haven't used Photostream there won't be any photos "actually on iCloud".
    Any photos stored as part of an iOS device backup can be viewed on the iOS device after restoring the backup to the iOS device. They can't be viewed online.

  • Can't see what I am typing after logout from Xorg

    Hello,
    I noticed this problem a few years ago , I thought that it was related to my computer, of something I was doing wrong, but I noticed that this problem appears every time for me, with every computer. I'll try to explain it, but it will be hard
    So, this problem appears at least in the two following cases:
    - After editing the .xinitrc file, I start Xorg as user (typing startx) without any xf86-video-driver installed, it crashes (as expected), and comes back to tty.
    - After editing the .xinitrc file, I start Xorg as user (typing startx) with the right xf86-video-driver installed, it works. I see my windows manager (Openbox) I click "Logout" to come back from X to tty.
    But, once I came back to tty, I can't see what I am typing in the terminal (like a freeze). My commands are executed (I can logout) but I don't see what I am typing. If I try to edit a textfile using nano, it seems to be frozen. The only solution after that to see what I am typing is to logout, and login again. The only solution to edit a textfile using nano after that is to reboot my computer...
    Haven't to noticed that ? Am I doing something wrong ? Isn't it a bug ?
    Thank you
