New to java (using std I/O)

Dear group,
I am going to use java for practice problem solving in
http://acm.uva.es/p
They have give some restrictions of using java I/O which they
have specified in the following link:
     http://online-judge.uva.es/board/viewtopic.php?t=7429
I could not able to understand the explanation and the sample
code too because I have been doing toy programs in C/C++. My problems
is with simple stdin, similarly like C' scanf().
After going through the above links can any one give any url or tut.
Thanks for any help.

hanks for any help.
Instead of C's scanf() method, you use Main.ReadLn(int) to get a String from the console. It isn't even necessary to understand that method in order to submit your code.
The example they posted (http://acm.uva.es/p/data/p100.java.html) can be copied and pasted. You can even submit that example, and it will be accepted.
If you still have problems with it, why not use C or C++ instead?

  • ISetup new custom interface using BC4J/java class

    Hi,
    I am able to create new custom interface using the link :- How to setup an user to be Oracle iSetup Super user ? but I have not seen anything for BC4J filter set, as per oracle iSetup developer guide clearly explains step by step process how to create custom BC4J interface type, but they have not mention how to add filters, as per oracle developer guide we have to use 'iSetup Framework' for BC4J, if we select type as 'iSetup Framework' then we don't have option to add filter parameters.
    Any idea how to see existing  iSetup interface repository values, Search shows the result, but we can't go in details? any idea to see this?
    Oracle have good interface repository but most of them does not have option to filter, and  update so I want to customize them by adding new interfaces with filterable and update option

    First, be sure your properties file is in the root of the classpath.
    The Messages.properties or Messages_en.properties should be in the WEB-INF/classes/ directory of the war or as a root file of a jar included in the classpath (WEB-INF/lib).
    If it doesn't work, try adding a "/" before the file name. The classloader will try to find it as a root file of the classpath.
    For example:
              ResourceBundle messages = ResourceBundle.getBundle("/Messages", locale);
    If you are using sun appserver, the classloader hierarchy is configured by default from inside the war to outside, so it will search first in the WEB-INF/classes/Messages_en.properties and then it will search the file inside each jar file in WEB-INF/lib.
    If you want more information, check the classloader hierarchy of the appserver you are using.
    Hope it helps.

  • Using Listeners, Newer to Java.

    I've made a simple tic-tac-toe game, but I'm improving my code. Right now I have to type in coordinates to add my X, and I play against the computer.
    My question is, how can I add a listener to one of the squares, so that when I click it, it adds an X.
    If I knew how to do it with one square, I think I can conquer the rest.
    So right now, I have one square displayed. All I want my program to do is to add an X inside of it, when I click it. Thats all.
    Any tips? Any Help?
    I'm quite new to Java. Like said, I have the square drawn already, but now I want it to add an X if I click anywhere inside the square.
    Any help will be much appreciated. I've already got listeners and everything set up, I just don't know how to add the listener to the square. I can't post my code on here, because my other computer(the one where the code is) doesn't have internet access.
    Thank you all in advance.

  • How can I open help file (HTML or .chm) from Java Web Start (new to JAVA)

    Hi All,
    Im trying to open the help file of my application.
    When trying to access the help file from the GUI (pressing F1 for launching the help file), I'm geting the an error, something like:
    "Can't show help URL: jar:file:C:\Documents and Settings\%USER%\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\javaws\cache\http\Dlocalhost\P7001\DMwebstart\RMjar-name!/com/resources/helpFiles/MyHelpFile.html"
    It seems that the file which is packed in a jar, was downloaded to the Java Web Start cache directory:
    C:\Documents and Settings\%USER%\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\javaws\cache\http\Dlocalhost\P7001\DMwebstart
    The code which is activated when launching the help file is:
    try
                ResourceBundle resourceBundle = DoubleResourceBundle.getBundle("Resource", "ResourceImpl");
                RuntimeUtil.launchFile(new File(resourceBundle.getString("help.file")));
            } catch (IOException e)
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }where the property "help.file" is in some property file in the resource bundle named "Resource", and looks like this :
    help.file="com/trax/docs/help/global/MyHelpFile.html"
    The function "RuntimeUtil.launchFile" knows how to launch any file in its default application, and indeed it does launches the html, when giving it an absolute path to the file on my PC, as "C:\Helpfiles\MyHelpFile.html" as such:
    RuntimeUtil.launchFile("C:\Helpfiles\MyHelpFile.html");My question is :
    The application is going to be deployed on a Customer PC. How can I access the html file from the code, with a relative path and not its absolute path on the customer pc, which I can't know?
    I found these restrictions regarding web start:
    (copied from "http://rachel.sourceforge.net/"):
    *Rule 1: Java Archives only. No loose files.* All your resources have to be packaged in Java Archives (jar) if you want to have
    them delivered to the user's machine and kept up-to-date automatically by Java Web Start.
    *Rule 2: No file paths.* You can't use absolute or relative file paths to locate your
    jars holding your resources (e.g. <code>jar:file:///c:/java/jws/.cache/resources.jar</code>).
    Absolute file paths won't work because you never know where Java Web Start
    will put your jar on the user's machine. Relative file paths won't work because Java Web Start
    mangles the names of your jars (e.g. <code>venus.jar</code> becomes <code>RMvenus.jar</code>)
    and every JNLP client implementation has the right to mangle your names
    in a different way and you, therefore, can't predict the name with
    which your jar will be rechristend and end up on the user's machine in
    the application cache.Seems complex or impossible, to perform a simple task like opening a file.
    Please advise (I'm new to Java and Web Start).
    BTW, I'm working with IntelliJ IDEA 5.0.
    Thanks,
    Zedik.

  • New TO JAVA Programming

    Dear Forummembers,
    I am student doing postgraduate studies in IT.i have some queries related to one of my programming staff.i am very much new into Java programming and i am finding it a bit difficult to handle this program.The synopsis of the program is given below -
    You are required to design and code an object-oriented java program to process bookings for a theatre perfomance.
    Your program will read from a data file containing specifications of the performance,including the names of the theatre, the play and its author and the layout of the theatre consisting of the number of seats in each row.
    It will then run a menu driven operation to accept theatre bookings or display the current
    status of seating in the theatre.
    The name of the file containing the details of the performance and the theatre should be
    provided at the command line, eg by running the program with the command:
    java Booking Theatre.txt
    where Theare.txt represents an example of the data file.
    A possible data file is:
    Opera
    U and Me
    Jennifer Aniston
    5 10 10 11 12 13 14
    The data provided is as follows
    Line 1
    Name of the Theatre
    Line 2
    Name of the play being performed
    Line 3
    Name of the author of the play being performed
    Line 4
    A list of the lengths (number of seats) of each row in the theatre, from front to
    back.
    The program must start by reading this file, storing all the appropriate parameters and
    establishing an object to accept bookings for this performance with all details for the theatre
    and performance.
    The program should then start a loop in which a menu is presented to the user, eg:
    Select from the following:
    B - Book seats
    T - Display Theatre bookings
    Q - Quit from the program
    Enter your choice:
    And keep performing selected operations until the user�s selects the quit option, when the
    program should terminate.
    T - Display Theatre bookings
    The Display Theatre Bookings option should display a plan of the theatre. Every available
    seat should be displayed containing its identification, while reserved seats should contain an
    Rows in each theatre are indicated by letters starting from �A� at the front. Seats are
    numbered from left to right starting from 1. A typical seat in the theatre might be designated
    D12, representing seat 12 in row D.
    B - Book seats
    The booking of seats is to offer a number of different options.
    First the customer must be asked how many adjacent seats are
    required. Then start a loop offering a further menu of choices:
    Enter one of the following:
    The first seat of a selected series, eg D12
    A preferred row letter, eg F
    A ? to have the first available sequence selected for you
    A # to see a display of all available seats
    A 0 to cancel your attempt to book seats
    Enter your selection:
    1. If the user enters a seat indentifier such B6, The program should attempt to
    reserve the required seats starting from that seat. For example if 4 seats are
    required from B6, seats B6, B7, B8 and B9 should be reserved for the customer,
    with a message confirming the reservation and specifying the seats reserved..
    Before this booking can take place, some testing is required. Firstly, the row
    letter must be a valid row. Then the seat number must be within the seats in the
    row and such that the 4 seats would not go beyond the end of the row. The
    program must then check that none of the required seats is already reserved.
    If the seats are invalid or already reserved, no reservation should be made and the
    booking menu should be repeated to give the customer a further chance to book
    seats.
    If the reservation is successful, return to the main menu.
    2. The user can also simply enter a row letter, eg B.IN this case, the program should
    first check that the letter is a valid row and then offer the user in turn each
    adjacent block of the required size in the specified row and for each ask whether
    the customer wants to take them. Using the partly booked theatre layout above, if
    the customer wanted 2 seats from row B, the customer should be offered first:
    Seats B5 to B6
    then if the customer does not want them:
    Seats B10 to B11
    and finally
    Seats B11 to B12
    If the customer selects a block of seats, then return to the main menu. If none are
    selected, or there is no block of the required size available in the row, then report
    that no further blocks of the required size are available in the row and repeat the
    booking menu.
    3. If the user enters a ? the program should offer the customer every block of seats
    of the required size in the whole theatre. This process should start from the first
    row and proceed back a row at a time. For example, again using the partially
    booked theatre shown above, if the user requested 9 seats, the program should
    offer in turn:
    Seats A1 to A9
    Seats C1 to C9
    Seats C2 to C10
    Seats E3 to E11
    Seats E4 to E12
    If the customer selects a block of seats, then return to the main menu. If none are
    selected, or there is no block of the required size available in the whole theatre,
    then report that no further blocks of the required size are available and repeat the
    booking menu.
    4. If the user enters a # the program should display the current status of the seating
    in the theatre, exactly the same as for the T option from the main menu and then
    repeat the booking menu.
    5. If the user enters a 0 (zero), the program should exit from the booking menu back
    to the main menu. If for example the user wanted 9 seats and no block of 9 was
    left in the theatre, he would need to make two separate smaller bookings.
    The program should perform limited data validation in the booking process. If a single
    character other than 0, ? and # is entered, it should be treated as a row letter and then tested
    for falling within the range of valid rows, eg A to H in the example above. Any invalid row
    letters should be rejected.
    If more than one character is entered, the first character should be tested as a valid row letter,
    and the numeric part should be tested for falling within the given row. You are NOT
    required to test for valid numeric input as this would require the use of Exception handling.
    You are provided with a class file:
    Pad.java
    containing methods that can be used for neat alignment of the seat identifiers in the theatre
    plan.
    File Processing
    The file to be read must be opened within the program and if the named file does not exist, a
    FileNotFoundException will be generated. It is desirable that this Exception be caught and
    a corrected file name should be asked for.
    This is not required for this assignment, as Exception handling has not been covered in this
    Unit. It will be acceptable if the method simply throws IOException in its heading.
    The only checking that is required is to make sure that the user does supply a file on the
    command line, containing details of the performance. This can be tested for by checking the
    length of the parameter array args. The array length should be 1. If not, display an error
    message telling the user the correct way to run the program and then terminate the program
    System.exit(0);
    The file should be closed after reading is completed.
    Program Requirements
    You are expected to create at least three classes in developing a solution to this problem.
    There should be an outer driving class, a class to represent the theatre performance and its
    bookings and a class to represent a single row within the theatre.
    You will also need to use arrays at two levels. You will need an array of Rows in the Theatre
    class.
    Each Row object will need an array of seats to keep track of which seats have been reserved.
    Your outer driving class should be called BookingOffice and should be submitted in a file named BookingOffice.java
    Your second, third and any additional classes, should be submitted in separate files, each
    class in a .java file named with the same name as the class
    I am also very sorry to give such a long description.but i mainly want to know how to approach for this program.
    also how to designate each row about it's column while it is being read from the text file, how to store it, how to denote first row as row A(second row as row B and so on) and WHICH CLASS WILL PERFORM WHICH OPERATIONS.
    pls do give a rough guideline about designing each class and it's reponsibilty.
    thanking u and looking forward for your help,
    sincerely
    RK

    yes i do know that........but can u ppl pls mention
    atleast what classes shud i consider and what will be
    the functions of each class?No, sorry. Maybe somebody else will, but in general, this is not a good question for this forum. It's too broad, and the question you're asking is an overall problem solving approach that you should be familiar with at this point.
    These forums are best suited to more specific questions. "How do I approach this homework?" is not something that most people are willing or able to answer in a forum like this.

  • New to JAVA, but old school to programming

    Objects & Classes & Methods, Oh my!
    I'm pretty new to java, but I've been programming in several languages over the years. I thought it was about time to update my skill set, especially with the job market as it is today. I wanted to go JAVA because it's not specific to any environment.
    I picked up a begining JAVA book and was a little confused. When I was learning programming a program was called a program. a peice of code in a program called by a statement was called a subroutine (it was performed then control returned to the calling line and continued).
    Now I'm trying to make sense of everything I have read so far and trying to relate it back to my old school of thinking. I was hoping it would make it easier to retain and I could expand it as I learn and possibly realize that it IS different. I know it's a new way of thinking, but stay with me for minute.
    What I used to call a program is now a CLASS in JAVA (this can be a collection of code or other objects). A sub-routine in a CLASS is a Method. I know that the language part will come as I use it since I understand if's then's and whatever you use to gosub or goto, but I want to make sure I have down the lingo before I go to deep.

    I have no idea how you can compare Java to Cobol.
    DataFlex? How about that! In about '84 I switched to
    DataFlex from dBaseII. In '91 DataFlex changed from
    procedural to OOP. It took most of us at least a year
    to adjust, and then some to write concrete code. It
    was tough. They had bugs and we were limited with DOS.
    BUT, it was a great OOP training experience. Anyhow,
    needless to day Java is miles ahead on all fronts.Small world. I was stuck in the old DataFlex Ver 2.3 at that time. The company I worked for had the newer OOP package. I did get to work with it some, but not enough to become totally familiar with it. We started to move out of DataFlex towards PowerBuilder towards the end of 1995. I did get some OOP from that experience, but again only enough to learn about global variables, instance variables, and a few other items. I hoping that I will be able to get the solid OOP background that I need from JAVA since I hear through the grapevine that it may be a new tool that we will be looking at to enhance our programming. I was looking at PERL but even the PERL programmers we have agree that JAVA is more scalable.

  • New to Java and need help with this program..please!

    I'd really appreciate any helpful comments about this program assignment that I have to turn in a week from Friday. I'm taking a class one night a week and completely new to Java. I'd ask my professor for help, but we can't call him during the week and he never answers e-mails. He didn't tell us how to call from other classes yet, and I just can't get the darn thing to do what I want it to do!
    The assignment requirements are:
    1. Change a card game application that draws two cards
    and the higher card wins, to a Blackjack application
    2. Include a new class called Hand
    3. The Hand class should record the number of draws
    4. The application should prompt for a number of draws
    5. The game is played against the Dealer
    6. The dealer always draws a card if the dealer's hand total is <= 17
    7. Prompt the player after each hand if he wants to quit
    8. Display the total games won by the dealer and total and the total games wond by the player after each hand
    9. Display all of the dealer's and player's cards at the
    end of each hand
    10. Player has the option of drawing an additional card after the first two cards
    11. The Ace can have a value of 11 or 1
    (Even though it's not called for in the requirements, I would like to be able to let the Ace have a value of 1 or an 11)

    Thank you so much for offering to help me with this Jamie! When I tried to call change value using:
    Card dealer = (d.changeValue());
    I get an error message saying:
    Incompatible types found: int
    required: Card
    I had my weekly class last night and the professor cleared up a few things for me, but I've not had time to make all of the necessary changes. I did find out how toString worked, so that's one question out of the way, and he gave us a lot of information for adding another class to generate random numbers.
    Again, thank you so much. I really want to learn this but I'm feeling so stupid right now. Any help you can give me about the above error message would be appreciated.

  • New to java: how to replace an image extending a JComponent?

    Hi,
    I'm new to Java and I have a question about Swing:
    I have a class called ActiveImage (entends JComponent, implements     MouseMotionListener, MouseWheelListener) which takes an Image and displays it. It also receives some mouse events for zooming and moving it around. I display it in a JFrame using:
    content = getContentPane();
    content.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    image = toolkit.getImage (filename);
    ActiveImage activeImage = new ActiveImage(image);
    content.add(activeImage, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    (This code is in a class extending JFrame.)
    This works fine. However, this JFrame also contains a JToolbar with two buttons. Now when I click one of them, I want to replace the image with another one. I've tried removing it and creating a new ActiveImage to add that to content, but that didn't work very well. remove() resulted in a NullPointerException.
    My question: what would be the best way to go about this?
    Many thanks for any help,
    Diederick de Vries

    B.T.W., this is the trace:

              System.out.println("button clicked");
              activeImage.setImage(image);
    });Reading the trace, I would think that the exception has something to do with this last code, since it stops there (line 60 is the setImage()). If the setImage() function itself was where the fault was, wouldn't the trace end there?
    I'm really at a loss here ... :-(

  • How can i add custom attributes to a new Class Object using the API ?

    Hello everyone,
    Here is my problem. I just created a subclass of Document using the API (not XML), by creating a ClassObjectDefinition and a ClassObject. Here is the code :
    // doc is an instance of Document
    ClassObject co = doc.getClassObject();
    ClassObjectDefinition cod = new ClassObjectDefinition(ifsSession);
    cod.setSuperclass(co);
    cod.setSuperclassName(co.getName());
    cod.setName("MYDocument");
    ClassObject c = (ClassObject)ifsSession.createSchemaObject(cod);
    Everything seems to be OK since i can see the new class when i use ifsmgr. But my question is : how can i add custom attributes to this new class ? Here is what i tried :
    AttributeDefinition value = new AttributeDefinition(ifsSession);
    value.setAttribute("FOO", AttributeValue.newAttributeValue("bar"));
    c.addAttribute(value);
    But i got the following error message :
    oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-30002: Unable to create new LibraryObject
    java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01400: impossible d'insirer NULL dans ("IFSSYS"."ODM_ATTRIBUTE"."DATATYPE")
    oracle.ifs.server.S_LibraryObjectData oracle.ifs.beans.LibrarySession.DMNewSchemaObject(oracle.ifs.server.S_LibraryObjectDefinition)

    void fr.sword.ifs.GestionDocument.IFSDocument.createDocument(java.lang.String)
    void fr.sword.ifs.GestionDocument.IFSDocument.main(java.lang.String[])
    So, what am i doing wrong ?
    More generally, are we restricted in the types of the attributes ? (for example, would it be possible to add an attribute that would be an inputStream ? Or an object that i have already created ?).
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
    Guillaume
    PS : i'm using Oracle iFS 1.1.9 on NT4 SP6 and Oracle 8.1.7

    Hi Guillaume,
    you're welcome. Don't know exactly, but assume that ATTRIBUTEDATATYPE_UNKNOWN
    is used to check for erronous cases only
    and it shouldn't be used otherwise.
    Creating your own objects could be simply done via
    ClassObject ifsClassObject;
    DocumentDefinition ifsDocDef = new DocumentDefinition(ifsSession);
    // get class object for my very own document
    ifsClassObject = ClassObject.getClassObjectFromLabel(ifsSession, "MYDOCUMENT");
    // set the class for the document i'd like to create
    ifsDocDef.setClassObject(ifsClassObject);
    // set attributes and content for the document...
    ifsDocDef.setAttribute("MYFOO_ATTRIBUTE",....);
    ifsDocDef.setContent("This is the content of my document");
    // create the document...
    PublicObject doc = ifsSession.createPublicObject(ifsDocDef);
    null
