Help with a project for school

This is the code that I came up with. The assignment for school said to edit the code I came up with for a program that will tell you the total pay with regular hours and overtime hours combined. Now we have to edit it using methods. I tried my best for the last 4 hours or so trying to figure this out but I need help because I can't figure this out. There is an error in the General Output that says "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: MethodsOne
Exception in thread "main"
Process completed." I cant figure out how to get rid of that. Other than that I cant seem to get it to do anything else that I would like it to do, like the actual calculations to get the final answer. Any helpful input on how to fix it would be awesome! Thanks!

hi, sorry for my english. I�m change your source because you have problem to read to standar input (console). I wrote coments. bye good luck

     } catch (IOException e) {
          System.out.print ("input text length highest 80 ");
          // TODO Auto-generated catch block
          e.printStackTrace();
     return new String(buff);

  • Need help with calculator project for an assignment...

    Hi all, I please need help with my calculator project that I have to do for an assignment.
    Here is the project's specifications that I need to do"
    """Create a console calculator applicaion that:
    * Takes one command line argument: your name and surname. When the
    program starts, display the date and time with a welcome message for the
    user.
    * Display all the available options to the user. Your calculator must include
    the arithmetic operations as well as at least five scientific operations of the
    Math class.
    -Your program must also have the ability to round a number and
    truncate it.
    -When you multiply by 2, you should not use the '*' operator to perform the
    operation.
    -Your program must also be able to reverse the sign of a number.
    * Include sufficient error checking in your program to ensure that the user
    only enters valid input. Make use of the String; Character, and other
    wrapper classes to help you.
    * Your program must be able to do conversions between decimal, octal and
    hex numbers.
    * Make use of a menu. You should give the user the option to end the
    program when entering a certain option.
    * When the program exits, display a message for the user, stating the
    current time, and calculate and display how long the user used your
    program.
    * Make use of helper classes where possible.
    * Use the SDK to run your program."""
    When the program starts, it asks the user for his/her name and surname. I got the program to ask the user again and again for his/her name and surname
    when he/she doesn't insert anything or just press 'enter', but if the user enters a number for the name and surname part, the program continues.
    Now my question is this: How can I restrict the user to only enter 'letters' (and spaces of course) but allow NO numbers for his/her surname??

    Now my question is this: How can I restrict the user to only enter 'letters' (and spaces of course) but allow NO numbers for his/her surname??You cannot restrict the user. It is a sad fact in programming that the worst bug always sits in front of the Computer.
    What you could do is checking the input string for numbers. If it contains numbers, just reprompt for the Name.
    AND you might want to ask yourself why the heck a calculator needs to know the users Name.

  • HELP! Project for school. What is Apples benefits and costs for consumers?

    I have a project for school, and I'm focusing it around Apple. Ive done hours of research and cant find anything on the benefits and cost for Apples consumers. Help please?

    Macs need almost no IT support, and sometimes none at all. One private educational institution (about 1500 students at all grade levels) with which I have been affiliated a couple years ago decided to equip its students, teachers, and administrators with iPads, iMacs, and MacBook Airs.
    They have no IT staff. Zero.
    Another, fairly large (Fortune 500 company) recently decided to replace all its Windows computers with iMacs and iPads. Less than a year later they laid off 90% of their IT staff, and reduced its associated infrastructure a commensurate amount. This was a benefit I knew would occur, but the C-level suite didn't believe it until seeing it for themselves.
    (Edit to add... Blackberries were the only "supported" mobile device for a long time. iPhones were never supported, yet everyone eventually started using them anyway, even the IT staff. No one even seemed to notice this transition except in hindsight, after which it was already complete. Even today they're not "supported". Yet this business somehow not only managed to survive, it's been growing at a fairly healthy rate despite an awful economic climate.)
    Another educational institution, this time a public one with which I've been more recently affiliated, equips all its students and teachers with MacBook Pros at taxpayer expense. Their reason for doing so was a study concluding that Apple hardware lasts longer, is more resistant to malware and its associated problems, and require less support than PCs.
    Private institutions have always been sensitive to needless costs while institutions relying on public funding have traditionally been less sensitive to that need. That has been changing recently though. Taxpayers, teachers and students all win, of course IT staff has to find other employment for which they're qualified... whatever that may be.
    Of course these amount to nothing more than personal anecdotes, but you can probably find thousands more just like it.

  • Help with Simple Applescript for Midipipe

    Hey all, I'm in desperate need of help with some Applescript for use in a program called Midipipe:
    http://web.mac.com/nicowald/SubtleSoft/MidiPipe.html
    I simply require an Applescript for Midipipe that filters out all OFF notes except for the most recently pressed key, or most recently pressed ON note. So for example, when multiple keys have been pressed, only the most recently pressed key will send an OFF note. I hope that is clear enough, i've had some major issues trying to get this work and my last hope is to hit the forums and find some help .. I've posted on some of the audio forums and i'm hoping someone here knows how to code this.
    Thanks so much!! .. Its for an upcomming show next week so i'm hoping someone can get me in the right direction to solving this.

    I try to help, but you'll need to apply your brain cells to get it working with what I've already explained (three times with what I offer below).  Try something like the following (I am renaming your buttons to ch1,ch2,ch3,ch4,ch5,ch6 so that the same functions can be shared by all buttons...
    // this assigns listeners to all 6 buttons
    for(var i:uint=1; i<7; i++){
              this["ch"+String(i)].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToSeekToCuePoint);
    // this processes any one of the 6 btns when they are clicked
    function fl_ClickToSeekToCuePoint_1(event:MouseEvent):void
        var btn = event.currentTarget;
        var cuePointInstance:Object = vid.findCuePoint(btn.name);
        vid.seek(cuePointInstance.time);
       resetButtons();    // this makes all buttons go back to normal
        btn.upState = btn.overState; // this makes the clicked button change states
    function resetButtons():void {
         for(var i:uint=1; i<7; i++){
              this["ch"+String(i)].upState =  this["ch"+String(i)].hitTestState;
    For this to work, your buttons need to have the same artwork in the hit frame as they do in the up frame.

  • Help with system upgrade for CS6

    Hello. I am hoping you can give me some advice on what to do (or buy) to improve my video editing system.  I am a bit of novice when it comes to the technical/hardware end of things and I’m having some issues with my current system. 
    I working in Adobe CS6 Master Suite on a Windows 7 Ultimate PC.  I mainly use Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, and Audition.  I create very complete animations and videos with many layers and effects (via Boris & Red Giant).  I also use Skype to record group video calls (with the program Evaer) for a reality T.V. recap show which I also edit with my Adobe suite.  However I have two main problems.
    When I render out a 20 minute premier pro project (with several HD video layers and effects) it takes almost 13 hours.  It seems like this is very long considering my high end components, and set up.  For example I run ONLY my OS off an SSD.  My programs are on another SSD.  The files I use for the video are on another HDD, and I render to another HDD.  I was told by keeping all the aspects on separate hard drives it would speed everything up.  Is that true?  I also am now reading that rendering to a SSD would speed things up.  Should I consider changing my workflow/hard drive set up that way? 
    My other problem is that when I record my Skype group calls of 4 people (with Evaer) to my SSD the audio is always off when I bring it into Premiere.  I don’t know if this is a problem with Evaer, a codec (it records it as H.264/MPEG-4 AVC Codec.  At 1280 X 720 and 30fps), that SSDs auto compress files, or that my system just cant handle it.  Plus Soundblaster & Nvida both seem to active as audio features on my system I don’t know if that effects anything.  Is there any advice any of you have on this issue as well?  Perhaps another program to record skype or group calls?
    Finally… all that aside.  Considering the work I am doing should I just upgrade my system to a better Mobo and graphics card.  I see a lot of people are recommending a dual processor work station.  If so what is a good motherboard, and processor(s) I should get if I build my own workstation?  I have about $4000.00 I could invest in building one if you think would greatly improve my work flow and render times.  I also have a quadro k5000 on the way, and id like to be able to use the memory I have already.
    I realize I am asking a lot of questions.  I would truly appreciate any help, advice or just a point in the right direction.  I have included my current system specs below incase that helps with any of my questions.  If you have any other questions or need more information just let me know.  Thank you again in advance for any help you can provide.

    Eric,
    I would hardly call the Quadro card an upgrade to a GTX 680!
    Regarding getting more speed from a faster MB / CPU, since you already have a 6-core rig with 24GB of RAM I would think that any gains you would get would not be that dramatic.
    Check out your cpu usage (Task manager) and see how busy your cores are during a test render. I am guessing that the Boris and / or Red Giant effects could be jumping your projects from gaining the full multi-core capabilities of the Adobe software.

  • Help with J2EE Project Management

    Hi,
    We are about to begin a large J2EE project and are wondering if anyone could help with the following questions:
    1. Given the division of labor on J2EE projects (JSP developers, EJB developers, application deployers, etc...), what are "best practices" for building a team and ensuring that they communicate well after the design phase? How will the left arm know what the right arm is doing?
    2. What documentation should be produced during the design phase to give to the developers? Will this allow them to go off and develop independently of each other?
    3. Is there a "best practices" document anywhere on J2EE project management?
    Thanks in advance!!

    Hi,
    I feel any project to start with should have a prior planning,that too particularly for Object oriented programming projects,I feel UML is the best tool for entire process.I think rational software has got lot of Project Management Tools(PMT) and products at all stages.Please go through the rational.com site and hope you could find some info.I feel the answer to your second question is partly 'yes' and partly 'no'.The modules that you can split it up which have got some independent attributes,but it should not be too much in your project,then it affects the work matrix/There should be a optimal process to decide and that you can yourself formulate depending on the time frame,either way the last step of build or integration is not flexible enough that you should mind,modular flexibility can be there but the integration stage you are tied with a fixed process.So plan accordingly using a PMT tool for any project that matters and all the best.Bye

  • Need help with Java app for user input 5 numbers, remove dups, etc.

    I'm new to Java (only a few weeks under my belt) and struggling with an application. The project is to write an app that inputs 5 numbers between 10 and 100, not allowing duplicates, and displaying each correct number entered, using the smallest possible array to solve the problem. Output example:
    Please enter a number: 45
    Number stored.
    45
    Please enter a number: 54
    Number stored.
    45 54
    Please enter a number: 33
    Number stored.
    45 54 33
    etc.
    I've been working on this project for days, re-read the book chapter multiple times (unfortunately, the book doesn't have this type of problem as an example to steer you in the relatively general direction) and am proud that I've gotten this far. My problems are 1) I can only get one item number to input rather than a running list of the 5 values, 2) I can't figure out how to check for duplicate numbers. Any help is appreciated.
    My code is as follows:
    import java.util.Scanner; // program uses class Scanner
    public class Array
         public static void main( String args[] )
          // create Scanner to obtain input from command window
              Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in);
          // declare variables
             int array[] = new int[ 5 ]; // declare array named array
             int inputNumbers = 0; // numbers entered
          while( inputNumbers < array.length )
              // prompt for user to input a number
                System.out.print( "Please enter a number: " );
                      int numberInput = input.nextInt();
              // validate the input
                 if (numberInput >=10 && numberInput <=100)
                       System.out.println("Number stored.");
                     else
                       System.out.println("Invalid number.  Please enter a number within range.");
              // checks to see if this number already exists
                    boolean number = false;
              // display array values
              for ( int counter = 0; counter < array.length; counter++ )
                 array[ counter ] = numberInput;
              // display array values
                 System.out.printf( "%d\n", array[ inputNumbers ] );
                   // increment number of entered numbers
                inputNumbers++;
    } // end close Array

    Yikes, there is a much better way to go about this that is probably within what you have already learned, but since you are a student and this is how you started, let's just concentrate on fixing what you got.
    First, as already noted by another poster, your formatting is really bad. Formatting is really important because it makes the code much more readable for you and anyone who comes along to help you or use your code. And I second that posters comment that brackets should always be used, especially for beginner programmers. Unfortunately beginner programmers often get stuck thinking that less lines of code equals better program, this is not true; even though better programmers often use far less lines of code.
                             // validate the input
       if (numberInput >=10 && numberInput <=100)
              System.out.println("Number stored.");
      else
                   System.out.println("Invalid number.  Please enter a number within range."); Note the above as you have it.
                         // validate the input
                         if (numberInput >=10 && numberInput <=100)
                              System.out.println("Number stored.");
                         else
                              System.out.println("Invalid number.  Please enter a number within range."); Note how much more readable just correct indentation makes.
                         // validate the input
                         if (numberInput >=10 && numberInput <=100) {
                              System.out.println("Number stored.");
                         else {
                              System.out.println("Invalid number.  Please enter a number within range.");
                         } Note how it should be coded for a beginner coder.
    Now that it is readable, exam your code and think about what you are doing here. Do you really want to print "Number Stored" before you checked to ensure it is not a dupe? That could lead to some really confused and frustrated users, and since the main user of your program will be your teacher, that could be unhealthy for your GPA.
    Since I am not here to do your homework for you, I will just give you some advice, you only need one if statement to do this correctly, you must drop the else and fix the if. I tell you this, because as a former educator i know the first thing running through beginners minds in this situation is to just make the if statement empty, but this is a big no no and even if you do trick it into working your teacher will not be fooled nor impressed and again your GPA will suffer.
    As for the rest, you do need a for loop inside your while loop, but not where or how you have it. Inside the while loop the for loop should be used for checking for dupes, not for overwriting every entry in the array as you currently have it set up to do. And certainly not for printing every element of the array each time a new element is added as your comments lead me to suspect you were trying to do, that would get real annoying really fast again resulting in abuse of your GPA. Printing the array should be in its own for loop after the while loop, or even better in its own method.
    As for how to check for dupes, well, you obviously at least somewhat understand loops and if statements, thus you have all the tools needed, so where is the problem?

    One way is to
    1) pass a reference of the Window object to the USDListener class, and set a local Window variable say call it window, to this reference.
    2) Give the Window class a public method that returns a String and allows you to get the text from USDField. Same to allow you to set text on the euroField.
    3) Give the Listener class a Converter object.

  • Collage Students need help with Java project(Email Server) whats analysis?

    Hi im studying in collage at the moment and i have just started learning java this semester, the thing is my teacher just told us to do an project in java , since we just started the course and i dont have any prior knowledge about java i was wondering if some one could help me with the project.
    i choose Email Sevice as my project and we have to submit an analysis and design document , but how the hell am i suppose to know what analysis is ? i just know we use ER diagrams & DFD's in the design phase but i dont know what analysis means ?
    could some one tell me what analysis on an email service might be? and what analysis on a subject means? is it the codeing involved or some thing coz the teacher told us not to do any codeing yet so im completly stumped,
    oh and btw we are a group of 3 students who are asking u the help here coz all of us in our class are stupmed ?

    IN case any one is interested this is the analysis i wrote
    ANALYSIS
    Analysis means figuring out what the problem is, maybe what kinds of solutions might be appropriate
    1.     Introduction:-
    The very definition of analysis is an investigation of the component parts of a whole and their relations in making up the whole. The Analysis done here is for an emailing service called Flashmail, the emailing service is used to send out mails to users registered with our service, these users and there log activities will be stored in some where, the most desirable option at this time is a Database, but this can change as the scope of the project changes.
    2.     Customer Analysis:-
    We are targeting only 30 registered users at the moment but this is subject to change as the scale changes of the project .Each user is going to be entitled to 1MB of storage space at this time since we lack the desired infrastructure to maintain anything higher than 1MB but the end vision of the project is to sustain 1000 MB of storage space while maintaining a optimal bandwidth allocation to each user so as to ensure a high speed of activity and enjoyment for the Customer.
    The Service will empower the user to be able to send, read, reply, and forward emails to there specified locations. Since we are working on a limited budget we can�t not at this time enable the sending of attachments to emails, but that path is also left open by modularity of java language, so we can add that feature when necessary.
    3.     Processor Load Analysis:-
    The number of messages per unit time processing power will be determined on hand with various algorithms, since it is best not to waste processor power with liberally distributing messages per unit time. Hence the number of messages will vary with in proportion to the number of registered users online at any given time.
    4.     Database Decision Analysis:-
    The High level Requirements of the service will have to be decided upon, the details of which can be done when we are implementing the project itself. An example of high level requirements are database management, we have chosen not to opt for flat files because of a number of reasons, first off a flat files are data files that contain records with no structured relationships additional knowledge is required to interpret these files such as the file format properties. The disadvantages associated with flat files are that they are not fast, they can only be read from top to bottom, and usually they have to be read all the way through. Though there is are advantages of Flat files they are that it takes up less space than a structured file. However, it requires the application to have knowledge of how the data is organized within the file.
    Good databases have key advantage over flat files concurrency. When you just read stuff from file it�s easy, but tries to synchronize multiple updates or writes into flat file from scripts that run in different process spaces.
    Whereas a flat file is a relatively simple database system in which each database is contained in a single table. In contrast, relational database systems can use multiple tables to store information, and each table can have a different record format.
    5.     Networking Analysis:-
    Virtually every email sent today is sent using two popular protocols known as SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) and MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions).
    1.     SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)
    The SMTP protocol is the standard used by mail servers for sending and receiving email. In order to send email we will first establish a network connection to our SMTP server. Once you have finished sending your email message it is necessary that you disconnect from the SMTP server
    2.     MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions)
    The MIME protocol is the standard used when composing email messages.

         }What I would like help with is the following…
    I would like output to either a JLabel or JTextArea to appear if a file appears on the network. Something along these lines…
    If file named nststrace*.* is in \\[network path] then output “Download successful, please proceed.”
    btw I have done my best to search this forum for something similar and had no luck, but I am looking forward to Encephalopathic’s answer as he/she has consistently made me laugh with posted responses (in a good way).
    Thanks in advance, Paul.

    we're starting to get aquainted, but I think "best friend" could take a while as it is still as hard going as I recall, but I will persevere.Heh, it's not so bad! For example, if I had no idea how to test whether a file exists, I would just scan the big list of classes on the left for names that sound like they might include File operations. Hey look, File! Then I'd look at all of File's methods for something that tests whether it exists or not. Hey, exists! Then if I still couldn't figure out how to use it, I'd do a google search on that particular method.

  • Help with Mathscipt and for loop

    I have a code in Mathscript/matlab and I need to output the array out. One option is my first code,the other option is using a for loop, but I am only getting the last ouput out. I need to get the whole output out.
    Any help.

  • Please help with RMAN dup for RAC db

    Happy Holidays!! All,
    I need help with the following issue:
    Both target and auxiliary databases are:
    Database version is 10.2.0.3 with 2-node RAC db
    Servers are MS 2003
    Oracle Clusterware 10.2.0.3
    Oracle ASM for storage
    I have run the rman dup from RAC to a single instance db for a while. This is the first time I ran from RAC to RAC. This auxiliary db was refreshed before and was up for a while and was managed by server control tool. Now I am trying to refresh it with new backup files from production. I did the following as people suggested:
    1)     shutdown instance in the second node.
    2)     Startup nomount mode in the first node
    3)     Run RMAN dup
    It failed in the same place with slightly different errors. I pasted error messages at the bottom. I already created a TAR with Oracle but would like to know if anybody has any info related to this. Also I have several questions to ask:
    1)     Should I stop all services related to Oracle in node-2
    2)     Should I stop all clustware related services in node-1 except oracleCSServie since ASM uses it?
    3)     Is there any way I can finish the dup manually from the place I failed? What going to happen if I don’t finish the rest of the dup and go ahead with “alter database open resetlogs”?
    4)     How do I remove the database from under Server control – I already run “srvctl remove database -d atlrac” successfully. Is this all?
    Thanks a lot for your help and have a great holiday season!!!

    1) Should I stop all services related to Oracle in node-2
    No, you just need to stop the second instance.
    2) Should I stop all clustware related services in node-1 except oracleCSServie since ASM uses it?
    No, you don't need to stop anything. Just have the instance startup nomount.
    3) Is there any way I can finish the dup manually from the place I failed? What going to happen if I don’t finish the rest of the dup and go ahead with “alter database open resetlogs”?
    You have not shown enough information. Did the restore succeed ? Did the recover succeed ? What was it doing when it failed ?
    4) How do I remove the database from under Server control – I already run “srvctl remove database -d atlrac” successfully. Is this all?
    Yes, srvctl remove database is all you need. (unless you also want to remove from listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, oratab etc)
