How to use Constants in Switch statements?

Hello all,
The following code snippet gives error, please give me guidance.
========
static Object tokenize(StreamTokenizer st)
throws NumberFormatException, IOException {
Object token = null;
try {
if (st.nextToken() == st.TT_EOF) {
throw new EOFException();
} catch (IOException e) {
throw e;
switch(st.ttype) {
case st.TT_NUMBER:
token = new Double(st.nval);
break;
case st.TT_WORD:
token = st.sval;
break;
case st.TT_EOL:
throw new NumberFormatException();
default:
throw new NumberFormatException();
return token;
=================
regards.

Perhaps it wants you to do "StreamTokenizer.TT_WORD" rather than "st.TT_WORD".
Why catch IOException, just to throw it again?

How to use * / - + in a switch statement?

So I wrote a calculator program (im just learning Java).
As a beginner I used the (press 1 for +, press 2 for - etc) now I want to go back and actually parse the real symbils * / - + and use those...
I am using JOptionPane library for getting numbers and stuff.. (inputting them as String then converting to doubles)...
How do I go about the operator symbols though? I can grab as as string no problem.. but then what?
Ive been trying to figure out how to make a switch statement.. but case *: doesnt work.. it doesnt like the *. Cant convert that to an into or a double (at least I dont think you can?) or is switch statement a bad way to go in this case?
Any help would be appreciated. :)

I should mention that it's extremely easy to form a switch statement that wouldn't have a performance benefit, by making the options very sparse. Like this:
int i = 1000;
switch ( i ) {
case 1:
break;
case 1000:
break;
}Since this is not going to be implemented as a branch table (given the values are so sparse) it probably provides no benefit.
enums, on the other hand, will be extremely fast in a switch since their integer values (ordinals) are packed as tightly as possible, starting at 0, by the compiler.
I wonder how Strings will fare in this regard. I suppose if the compiler mods the hashCode, it can pack the possible values fairly tightly. Also, I presume that the cases will have to be compile-time constants.
But the weirdest part to me is that it'll be actually computing the hash code of Strings at compile time. At first I thought this was reasonable when I discovered that String.hashCode's result was specified by the JLS [http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/first_edition/html/javalang.doc11.html#14460]. However, following JLS 1, those sections have been removed. So where is the specification for Java libraries now? Is it simply the Javadoc (String#hashCode()'s Javadoc does specify the actual result of computation)?
Hmmm... The cases have to be compile-time constants, so that means strings will be in the constant pool, so I guess the compiler will build the lookups based on something that won't change for a given compiled .class file, regardless of which JVM loads it.

How to use Double selection If statements?

Ok, this is what I have to do:
Present a menu to the user from which there will be 6 choices, A = add three number, S = subtract 2 numbers, M = multiply three numbers, D = divide two numbers, O = modulus two numbers, E = Exit.
2) If the user enters an A,S,M,O,D the program will prompt the user for numbers and perform the needed math on them.
3) if the user enters an E then the program will thank the user, and exit.
4)the program HAS to use Double Selection If Statements (no idea how to do these)
5) the program should use float point numbers for all the numbers entered, besides modulus.
heres what i have so far.. -_-
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Ifprogram
public static void main (String[] args)
String Intro;
String A;
String S;
String M;
String D;
String O;
String Exit;
Intro = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Enter A to add 3 numbers \n S to Subtract two numbers \n M to Multiply three numbers \n D to Divide two numbers \n O to Modulus two numbers \n and E to Exit.");
   A = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "You selected to add 3 numbers. Enter the first digit to add.");
   S = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "You selected to substract two numbers. Enter the first digit to subtract.");
}IM SO LOST.
If anyone could give me some tips on what to do, or where to get, that'd help A LOT! Thank you.

I can see that working, but
if(user entered 'A') {
                    A = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "You selected to add 3 numbers. Enter the first digit to add.");
                } else if(user entered 'S') {
                   S = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "You selected to substract two numbers. Enter the first digit to subtract.");
               }Is not working..
The errors i get:

How to use a KVM switch with my IMAC

Have a new IMAC and wanting to use my KVM switch - is there a way to use it?
Thanks,

If you mean you want to send video from another computer to the iMac display,
the answer is: NO WAY. iMacs have no video input; the mini-DVI is output-only.
If you want to send iMac video to a shared external monitor, it might work -- if
you can find a KVM switch for a USB keyboard & mouse.

How to use a KVM switch with a Pavillion 23

I have a Pavillion 23, and it has no VGA port, but it does have a USB port.
I have another machine that is not an all in one pc, and I was hoping to use a KVM switch to use the Pavillion 23's video monitor capabilites, and just toggle between it and my other machine. I have a USB to VGA converter. Can this work? Will this create some sort of infinate loop? I have a sneaking suspicion that I need a 2nd usb to VGA converter. Am I right?

Hi,
This will be the out port, not in port therefore you can't use the 23" monitor.

How to use settings with a state machine?

I have a "classic" data acquisition program that acquires voltages from different sensors. Each DAQ read subvi has some settings for the scale, range of voltage etc.; additionally I have set a certain buffer size, sampling rate etc.
I would like to show on the front panel only the start, stop type of buttons, file name and charts, and 'hide' the settings in a subvi. I already built the subvi but now the problem is how to hide it and how to call it through a "settings" button whenever I want to change something. I tried this using New events handler (using events in a while loop); the problem is when I start the program, the settings in the application do not take the settings in the subvi, they all go to 0 (I used shift registers). I started to wonder if this is a good approach or what could I do to make the settings available right from the start.
Did anybody have the same problems and could give me some suggestions and an example?
Thank you.

Hello,
Attached is an example to help you get started. The popup VI in the event structure is called and shows it's front panel when called because of the subVI node setup (right click to check this) - the instance of the subVI outside the loop, which initializes the shift register, does not pop up because it's subVI node setup is not set that way.
If you run the example and study the code, you'll find comments in the code to help you understand the behavior.
I hope this helps!

How to use REGEXP for case statement

Hello everyone, I'm very new here and am struggling with a using REGEXP in a case statement, OK I am using the REGEXP to find all strings that match a specific format for a particular brand of product, for example serial numbers, and I need to be able to say something like [case when(xx.brandid) = '123' then if xx.serialnumber REGEXP_LIKE(xx.serialnumber,'[A-za-z][A-za-z][A-za-z]\d{5,}[A-za-z]$') then 'TRUE' else 'FALSE' end "TRUE/FALSE".]
Help would be greatly appreciated with this as I feel like I'm going backwards trying to figure this out
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Like this?
case
   when xx.brandid = '123' and
        regexp_like(xx.serialnumber,'[A-za-z][A-za-z][A-za-z]\d{5,}[A-za-z]$') then
      'TRUE'
   else
      'FALSE'

How to use on/off switch with the cover on?

Ive only just got my IPAD so it may well be me but why is the on/off switch 'under' the cover. Surely, I dont have to take the cover off everytime I want to switch it on and off? Or should I not switch it on and off and just use the cover to put in 'standby' mode?

Unless you will not be using the iPad for a long time, you do not need to switch it OFF, just use the magic cover to put it to sleep (standby).
BTW, the ON/OFF switch is at the top, not the Home button at front.

Having problem with switch statement..please help

here my question :
GUI-based Pay Calculator
A company pays its employees as executives (who receive a fixed weekly salary) and hourly workers (who receive a fixed hourly salary for the first 40 hours they work in a week, and 1.5 times their hourly wage for overtime worked).
Each category of employee has its own paycode :
?     Paycode 1 for executives
?     Paycode 2 for hourly workers
Write a GUI-based application to compute the weekly pay for each employee. Use switch to compute each employee?s pay based on that employee?s paycode.
Use CardLayout layout manager to display appropriate GUI components. Obtain the employee name, employee paycode and other necessary facts from the user to calculate the employee?s pay based on the employee paycode:
?     For paycode 1, obtain the weekly salary.
?     For paycode 2, obtain the hourly salary and the number of hours worked.
You may obtain other information which you think is necessary from the user.
Use suitable classes for the GUI elements. (You can use javax.swing package or java.awt package for the GUI elements.)

PLEASE HELP ME..REALLY APPRECIATED...TQ

hi
A switch works with the byte, short, char, and int primitive data types. So you can simply give the
switch (month) {
            case 1:
                        System.out.println("January");
                        break;
            case 2: {
                        System.out.println("February");
                         break;
            case 3: {
                          System.out.println("March");
                          break;
                         }where month controlls the flow
moreover u can go to http://www.java-samples.com/java/free_calculator_application_in_java.htm
for reference, just replace the if statement with switch with correct syntax

Thanks!

Or you can create an int variable say option. Then use an if statement to determine the value of option. Then you can use option in switch statement.
for example
    if(args[0]=="abcd")
       option=1;
    else
       option=2;
    switch(option){
        case 1:
        case 2:
    }
