Integers and characters

i have been reading oreillys java in a nutshell.
it states that you can only store values in a variable of the declared type.
does this mean you can not store single characters in an integer, like you can in C++?

Sure, I believe you; wanna buy a bridge? ;-)Ok, which one? :)> int i= 'a';
System.out.println("J"+((i == 'a')?"os":"salonen")+" is right"); Ah, but the fact that in Java the character "a" and the number 97 equal come out, means not that the character "a" the number 97 is. One a character, the other a number, conceptually very different things they are :)

Ranges declaration for integers "and" characters

Hi All...
Is there any way in which we can declare a ranges variable for both integers and characters???
I want the ranges variable to check in between 10 to 13 and 30 to 33 and A to E.
I tried as ranges BT 'A' and 'E'. That is, it should only accept values in [A B C D E].
But the problem is, it is accepting the value [BETER] also.
How can this be solved.

That is fine. But the declaration occupies more space than actual code. Readability also counts!
Any other suggestions?
Thank u Vivek.

Join two 8 bit integers and send via Serial Port

I am trying to join two 8 bit integers and send the result via the serial port.
I have a constant of hex value A that I need to join with a value from hex 0 - F (this is based on incoming data)
When I use the Join VI, and type cast to change from hex to string for Visa Write, I recieve hex 0A0F.
I have been able to use the hex 0-F with a case structure and then wire the corresponding constant ex A0 - AF.
This makes the program very cumbersome and labour intensive to change. I have 22 commands I have to respond to with the address of 0-F.
Currently, I have a Case structure that is selected with Message ID, then a case that is selected with subtype and then a case for address.
Therefore I have to create a constant inside of each address case for each message as the responses are different.
Thanks for any help

Gambin,
As I understand it, you want to take the two bytes, put them together,
and output the result as an ASCII string on the serial port. This
is easy. Simply convert each number to an ASCII string,
concatonate the two characters together, and send the resulting string
to the VISA write function. That's it! I have attached a VI
(ver. 7.1) that takes two hex numbers as input, converts them to ASCII,
concatonates the results, and outputs the 'command' string. Fell
free to modify this vi and use it as you see fit. I have left
extra terminals in case you want to add error input/output for data
flow, or whatever. Notice that the display for the concatonated
string is in '/' Codes Display mode. This is because 0A hex is
the newline character in ASCII. You should also check to make
sure that your VISA serial settings are not setup so that the newline
character is the termination character. If it is, the second
character may not be recognised. Hope this helps.

Truncating the leading zeros which has both numbers and characters

Hello Everyone,
Can anybody pls help me to truncate the leading zeros in the incoming file structure which has both the numbers and characters.
Thanks,
Chinna

HI,
Write a UDF like this ..
public class test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(args[0].replaceAll("^0*",""));
Also you can use XSLT for this.
Try the XPath function number($string) in your XSLT and see if it does what you want. Since it turns any XPath object into a number, the leading zeros won't appear.
Use it ike this
<xsl:variable name="a">
<xsl:call-template name="removeLeadingZeros">
<xsl:with-param name="phone">
<xsl:value-of select="EVENT/ContactPhone"/>
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:template name="removeLeadingZeros">
<xsl:param name="phone"/>
<xsl:message>
<xsl:value-of select="$phone"/>
</xsl:message>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="starts-with($phone,'0')">
<xsl:call-template name="removeLeadingZeros">
<xsl:with-param name="phone">
<xsl:value-of
select="substring-after($phone,'0' )"/>
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$phone"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

An Average of a Count erroneously returns integers and not decimals

I have a table which holds sales information showing the invoice number and the branch (e.g. 'New York', 'Boston', etc..) that sold the items. Each row represents a product on an invoice. I am trying to find out the average number of lines per invoice
for each branch. So my final result set might tell me that the 'New York' invoices had an average of 2.4 lines per invoice and the 'Boston' invoices had an average of 1.9 lines per invoice. Like this:
New York, 2.4
Boston, 1.9
I've first written a subquery that counts the number of lines for each BRANCH & INVOICE combination for any date after 1/1/2015. Then I've put a query around that subquery which averages this count by Branch. The problem is, the entire query is only
returning integers and not decimals. Why is this?
Note that I tried casting the data type to DECIMAL and FLOAT but still get the same results.
Here is the query:
Select t1.Branch, cast(avg(t1.Count) as numeric(10,2))
as Avg_Lines
from
(Select Branch, invoice, count(*) as Count
from linprm
where invdte>20150101
group by Branch, invoice) t1
group by t1.Branch

To expand Scott's answer:
Select t1.Branch, avg(cast(t1.Count as numeric(10,2)))
as Avg_Lines
from
(Select Branch, invoice, count(*) as Count
from linprm
where invdte>20150101
group by Branch, invoice) t1
group by t1.Branch
-- or
Select t1.Branch, cast(avg(t1.Count) as numeric(10,2))
as Avg_Lines
from
(Select Branch, invoice, cast(count(*) as numeric(10,2)) as Count
from linprm
where invdte>20150101
group by Branch, invoice) t1
group by t1.Branch

How Do You Place ( and ) Characters in Code?

How Do You Place( and )characters in Code? Example (302). THANKS.

What do you mean?
"(" and ")" are used in expressions much the same way they are used in algebraic expressions. They are also used to enclose a type name to form a cast specifier, to enclose the expression that defines the condition of an if, for, while or switch statement and they are use to enclose the formal argument list in a method declaration and the actual argument list in a method invocation. They can also appear in string constants. I probably left out a couple...

Filename and path sizes and characters

I am failing to load 4000+ tracks to my Ipod from my XP machine using Itunes 7.50.0.20. This is an Ipod Clickwheel 20GB. I want to load 17.86GB in the now empty Ipod. However it gets so far then stops saying there is not enough space.
I wonder if am I getting the wrong message?
Some of my tracks have very long filenames/paths e.g 124 charactere filenames and 213 character paths. I also have some filenames with " (double quote) in.
Could this be the reason?
If so what characters must I avoid and what size should the filename and paths be limited to?

Filenames and paths are irrelevant. They are renamed on the iPod anyway.
20 GB is not really 20. It is a rounded number all HD manufacturers use. Plus you lose some space due to formatting and the iPod software. There is also meta data for the songs which takes some space.

Thunderbird adds " and characters to my email addresses from my address book, and then can't send them because they are unrecogniseable, how do I stop it?

If I click a contact in the contact payne of a write window, it comes up in the To: place as <" joeblogs"@talktalk.com> for example. Even though in the address book it is [email protected] When I try to send the email, it comes back as an unrecogniseable address and is not sent. If I remove the <""> characters by hand ,it works. What am I doing wrong? Please help!

Thank you Matt, I think the problem is solved. I must have been in the habit of putting a space before the email address, one I removed them the "" were removed, The <> still surrounds the email address on the outgoing mail but that is to differentiate the address from the friends name. Thanks.

Tidy xml: clean xml data source form and characters

Hi,
the xml data set that I'd like to display with spry includes many special characters such as < and >, which are also used by xml to separate the individual data elements.
How can I replace those when the data are read, so that the data display correctly on my webpage. Currently any data set that has < or > characters is truncated.
I tried a replace function, but that did not work
function TidyXML(region, lookupFunc)
return TidyXML("{abstract}").replace(/\>/, ">");
return TidyXML("{abstract}").replace(/\</, "<");
Thanks for any help,

Hi Phil
thanks for your fast reply.
The xml dataset is generated by Endnote, which is a database program
to organize scientific citations and which has unfortunately only very
limited xml functionality.
Thanks for the CDATA tipp, I will try that.

the person is online via a little green / red dot next to their
name. Layout changed to take full advantage of the website width. It
enables easier (and faster) navigation between the replies to a
post. 3. The new forum will natively recognise

Using "&" and "," characters when importing .csv through DTW

Hi all,
How can I import values like addresses or names using DTW eg: "POBox 123, Capetown" or "Hulley & Rice" where the "," and the "&" characters are valid.
Thanks

Hi,
I think that it is better to import your file using txt format with Tab as delimiter.
You will be able to import text with ",".
For the character "&", I didn't find how to import this, so I replaced "&" by "and".
Perhaps, we will have more info on that.
HTH,
Thibault
