Need help with a cash register program.

I'm a noob at JAVA, but having fun with i so far! I was wondering if anyone could help me with a school project I need to get done. I've done most of the work, but I can't get it to not display when I have zero results. What I mean is that the project requires you to create a cash register program that gives you change in 20's, 5's, and 1's for a hundred dollar bill. I get it to display the results, but if there are zero of any category, like in the last problem, I can't let it show. Could someone please help! Thank you in advance! Here's what I have so far (sorry about the rapidshare download ^_^;).

Zack,
The user should not see the line: 0 $5 bill(s)Then you need to detect the situation where no five dollars bills are included in the change, and suppress the output of that line.
I can read your mind... it's going something like "yeah well righto smartass, I knew that allready... my question was _HOW_ to make that happen...
And my answer to that is "I'm not telling you"... well, not straight out anyway, coz you'll actually learn more if your struggle a bit (but not too much) yourself...
So... I suggest you (at least) read through [this page|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/if.html] on the +if+ statement, and maybe even try out the examples, which should (I imagine) take maybe half an hour or so. "Selection" is an absolutely core programming construct... and the concept is common to every programming language ever (AFAIK) invented... meaning that you will really struggle until you "get" the +if+ statement... so that half hour would be time well spent.
When you've got +if+ concept onboard, you can attempt to apply it to your immediate problem, suppressing those annoying fivers! Have a go yourself, if get really stumped than post a _specific_ question here about the bit that's stumped you.
I know it can be frustrating... but that just hightens the little thrill you get when you "get it".
Cheers. Keith.

I need help with TV Capture Card program

Hello,
I want to create a JAVA program so I can schedule that the recording with my TV Capture Card begins in x seconds.
Now to start a recording, you must press Ctrl+M and to stop an recording you must click the mouse.
How can I realise that a Java application can "press" Ctrl+M. I have to create an timer, that must be do-able... but I don't know how the program can simulate the pressing of Ctrl+M. I also need to know how the Java program can do a mouse click for me to end the recording.
Thanks in advance for helping me.
Chris.

Thank you... I think this was exactly what I needed.

I need help with the Bon Scott program

Help me! I am learning Java from the book, "Teach Yourself Java through Osmosis" and I am having trouble with the Bon Scott program. Everytime I run it, which has been ca. 2 billion, it prints out, "Some balls are held for charity and some for fancy dress, but when they're held for pleasure, they're the balls that I like the best." It then proceeds to get pissed and finally vomits.
Any suggestions ?

What color is the vomit? That is, exactly what does it do when it gets pissed and vomits?

I need help with a lab from programming.

I need the following tasks implemented in the code I wrote below. I would really appreciate if someone could achieve this because it would help me understand the coding process for the next code I have to write. Below are the four classes of code I have so far.
save an array of social security numbers to a file
read this file and display the social security numbers saved
The JFileChooser class must be used to let the user select files for the storage and retrieval of the data.
Make sure the code handles user input and I/O exceptions properly. This includes a requirement that the main() routine does not throw any checked exceptions.
As a part of the code testing routine, design and invoke a method that compares the data saved to a file with the data retrieved from the same file. The method should return a boolean value indicating whether the data stored and retrieved are the same or not.

How do I get it to save?
Also, in the last post I had the write method commented out, the correct code is:
     System.out.printf ("\nHere are all your Social Security Numbers stored in our database:\n");
        System.out.printf ( "\n%8s%32s\n", "Database Index", "Social Security Numbers" );

Need help with a vowel reading program :(

Hi, im trying to create a program that does the following:
"a program that reads a list of vowels (a, e, i, o, u) and stores them in an array. The maximum number of vowels to be read should be obtained from the user before beginning to read the vowels, however, the user may cancel the reading of vowels at any time by entering '#'. The algorithm should then count and display the number of times each vowel appears in the array. Finally the algorithm should also output the index in the array where the each vowel first appeared or a suitable message if a particular vowel is not in the array at all."
It says to store the input in an array so I've probably started all wrong :( but any help at all would be greatly accepted.
Im trying to go through it doing one method at a time but im having trouble with the reading input method
the 1 error i get is marked with ***.
Is it that I need to do a for loop first to find the length of the string?

thanks for your reply Paul ^^ , but im still having trouble with that part of the program :(
Its saying "operator <= cannot be applied to int,java.lang.String" (Ive marked in asterisks)
Also i've add the rest of the program code, but in the calcPrint method i am having trouble understanding some of it (some of the code was used from another program) and it would be great if someone could show me a more simplier way of coding the same thing? even if its more typing, i just want to understand it better.

I need help with closing a running program. It seems like it does not count as a program. Tried to turn of the computer and closing all programs. Please help!?

I have a problem with a grey text box. It writes and says all i do. For example: When i now write it says all the letters one for one. If i open a new rogram it says so. If i click on something it gives me information about it. I can click the box and drag it, but dont close it. I have restarted the computer and closing all windows and programs. It just popped out when i was pressing some buttons on the mac. I think it is a easy way to fix it, but i cant find out what it is named and search for it. I think it is made for help and i did not download anything to get it. If i change user on the mac it does go away when I am on the other user, but i really want to keep the one i have because off all the settings and programs i have.
Please reply if you know anything about this.
This is a printscreen of the box, the language is Norwegian if someone wonder...
It is really annoying, I hope someone can help me out.

Oh thanks alot! Really happy that people take the time to answer my `noob`questions! Would not find that out by my own.
Thanks!

Need help with running a Java program on Linux

I am trying to get a Java program to run on a Linux machine. The program is actually meant for a Mac computer. I want to see if someone with Java experience can help me determine what is causing the program to stall. I was successful in getting it installed on my Linux machine and to partially run.
The program is an interface to a database. I get the login screen to appear, but then once I enter my information and hit enter the rest of the program never shows, however, it does appear to connect in the background.
Here is the error when I launch the .jar file from the command screen:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: illegal component position
at java.awt.Container.addImpl(Unknown Source)
at java.awt.Container.add(Unknown Source)
I am not a programmer and I am hoping this will make some sense to someone. Any help in resolving this is greatly appreciated!

Well, without knowing a little bit about programming, and how to run your debugger, I don't think you're going to fix it. The IllegalArgumentException is saying that some call does not like what it's getting. So you'll have to go in an refactor at least that part of the code.

Need help with java.nio.socket program.

                    Socket requestSocket = requestChannel.accept();
                    inBuffer.clear();
                    requestSocket.read(inBuffer);
                    inBuffer.flip();
                    Charset charset = Charset.forName("ISO-8859-1");
                    CharsetDecoder decoder = charset.newDecoder();
                    charBuffer = decoder.decode(inBuffer);
                    iterator.remove();
}

Well its been about a month and a half so I guess you have your answer. In case you don't...
// This shouldn't block.
Socket requestSocket = requestChannel.accept();
The problem is quite simple. The ServerSocketChannel.accept() returns a SocketChannel. (Channel -> Channel).
You can get access to the socket using the SocketChannel.
SocketChannel requestSocketChannel = requestChannel.accept();
Socket requestSocket = requestSocketChannel.socket();
But you don't need the socket to read and write.

Need help with solving the (basic) programming error

Having said that, it is nontraditional to use Scanner like you are using it. There is no way to reuse it in order to get more input. Better would be something like:
        System.out.println("What size of pizza do you want?");
        Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in); // create the scan variable
        String size = scan.nextLine(); // now use the scan variable
        System.out.println(size);Also, when posting your code, please use code tags so that your code will be well-formatted and readable. To do this, place the tag [code] at the top of your block of code and the tag [/code] at the bottom, like so:
[code]
// your code block goes here.

Need help with a magic square program

Hi, I have to write a code that prints out first 10 magic square numbers
-- magic square numbers: numbers that is a perfect square and sum of consecutive integers (like 36 -- 6 squared or sum of 1 to 8)
here's my code:
public class Loop {
public static void magicSquare ()
long inc = 0;
long integer = 0;
long total = 0;
for (int square =1; square>0; square++)
total = square*square;
int sum = 0;
for (int i = 1; i>0; i++)
if (sum<total){
sum += i;
else if (sum==total){
System.out.println("Magic Square is: " + total);
break;
else {
break;
I have a simple seperate driver

Merge - you have two lists, a list of squares (implicit list, you just remember the last square and what you need to increment to the next one), and a list of triangles (sums of n consecutive numbers starting at 1 are triangular numbers).
As long as the head of one list is below the other you increment it. When the two heads coincide you have a squareTriangle.
It ran pretty quickly on my machine, so it is probably not worth telling you how the whole thing can be reduced to pells equation and how the numbers represent successive rational approximations to the square root of 8. Continued fractions rule and are where you would go if you needed to go faster than this - but 0 seconds (which has to be a lie caused by round off error) seems good enough
static void spewSquareTriangles(int n){
    long q = 0; // first square
    long t = 0; // first triangle
    long iq = 1;
    long it = 1;

Need Help With Something In ICloud Program

I am trying to figure out if there is anyway possible I can save all my photos into ICloud? I keep
looking on the Apple homepage and all it talks about is photo storage in ICloud. I can't even find
anything in my ICloud about photo storage. If anybody has any idea how to do this can you please help
me tonight.

Hey TrishaA2466,
Based on your description, it sounds like you may be talking about the new iCloud Photo Library beta feature. If you are looking for more information on this new feature, you may find the following pages and articles helpful:

Need help with an SHDB BDC program for Change outbound delivery(VL02N).

I have created recording to change outbound delivery(VL02N). Steps are as below-
For VL02N recording 1st I have click on the header(F8) then dates tab.
Then insert line (+ button) then it shows 8 transport types.
I have chosen 7th transport type. In SHDB it shows BDC_CURSOR = '08/07'.
Then I have created BDC program for this recording, but it's not working,
because It is changing BDC_CURSOR value every time when we do SHDB or VL02N and in my code I have hard coded BDC_CURSOR = '08/07' .
Can anyone tell me how to get this BDC_CURSOR changed value. So that instead of hard coding this value I can select this value every time.
(FYI For this Screen name = SAPMSSY0 Screen No = 0120.)
Thanks.

Need Help With File Matching Records

I need help with my file matching program.
Here is how it suppose to work: FileMatch class should contain methods to read oldmast.txt and trans.txt. When a match occurs (i.e., records with the same account number appear in both the master file and the transaction file), add the dollar amount in the transaction record to the current balance in the master record, and write the "newmast.txt" record. (Assume that purchases are indicated by positive amounts in the transaction file and payments by negative amounts.)
When there is a master record for a particular account, but no corresponding transaction record, merely write the master record to "newmast.txt". When there is a transaction record, but no corresponding master record, print to a log file the message "Unmatched transaction record for account number ..." (fill in the account number from the transaction record). The log file should be a text file named "log.txt".
Here is my following program code:

Much help is appreciated. Please help.

From the output, it looks like one problem is just formatting -- apparently you're including a newline in log entries and not using tabs for the newmast output file.
As to why the numbers are off -- just from glancing over it, it appears that the problem is when you add multiple transaction values. Since account.combine() is so simple, I suspect that you're either adding creating transaction objects incorrectly or not creating them when you should be.
Create test input data that isolates a single case of this (e.g., just the Mary Smith case), and then running your program in a debugger or adding debugging code to the add/combine method, so you can see what's happening in detail.
Also I'd recommend reconsidering your design. It's a red flag if a class has a name with "Create" in it. Classes represent bundles of independant state and transformations on that state, not things to do.

I need help with re installing my apple account for itunes.

Had problems with my itune account, so I uninstalled and now need help with re-installing the program with the songs I have already purchased.

Your iTunes account is something at the iTunes Store online. It is not possible to uninstall it. Do you mean the iTunes application? Even if you delete the application and restore it, it should not have deleted your iTunes library (essentially the contents of the iTunes folder in Music) on your computer unless you did a separate steep and specifically deleted that too. You need to tell us what it was you deleted.
