Some advice with some loops - I'm new to java!

I am trying to make a game (text based) Where you have 1 of 3 weapons a dog (can tell if a person is a vampire and warn you) a map (allows you to find a place to hide) and a gun (allows you to shoot the vampires!)
I want it to be a 50/50 chance of being a human or a vampire for now, so I have randomly generated either a 1 or 2 for vampire or human. The user will have chosebn his wepaon and also what he wishes to do...either run, hide or fight. Now I am trying to make a loop below:
public String test()
                    int d1 = (int) (Math.random() * 2) + 1;
                    if(weapon == "Dog")
                    //seePerson();
                    System.out.println("The dog can tell if its a vampire!");
                    else if (weapon == "Map")
                    //hide();
                    System.out.println("You can find a good place to hide!");
                    else if (weapon == "Gun")
                    //kill();
                    System.out.println("You can kill the vampire");
                    else if (weapon != "Dog" && d1 == '1')
                    System.out.println("This line wont work!");
                    System.out.println(d1); \\this one will????
                    return outputString;
               }

I have another problem...again possibly easily fixed.
                    int d1 = (int) (Math.random() * 2) + 1;
                    String weapon = "Gun";
                    if("Dog".equals(weapon))
                    //seePerson();
                    System.out.println("The dog can tell if its a vampire!");
                    else if ("Gun".equals(weapon) && (d1.equals('1')))
                    System.out.println(d1);
                    System.out.println("This line wont work!");
                    }When I try to compile it points at the line else if ("Gun".equals(weapon) && (d1.equals('1'))) and says that an int cannot be dereferenced. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with that, I dont think i have come across that before?
Thanks

LinkedList<Rectangle> rects = new LinkedList<Rectangle>();rects is an empty LinkedList at this point. It has no elements added to it.
rects.set(1,myrectangle);So you can't set the item at index 1 (the 2nd element in the list) because it doesn't even exist. You need to add items to it.

I need some help with a loop..

Hi,
I am creating a program to calculate time, when entering the time and how many minutes you want to add. The program is done, except for the fact that I need to build a loop to add 1 to h (for hours) for every 60 minutes. My idea was to have the 'if-else' statement in newHours() loop. I tried to enclose this inside a 'do-while' loop, with while(newMin>60), but it seems that it creates an infinite loop as the program just sits there. If someone could check my code and gimme some advice I would reall appreciate it.

Why do you think you need a loop at all?
When you post code, wrap it in [code][/code] tags so it's easier to read.
You realize that what you're writing basically duplicates the java.util.Calendar class (and its subclass GregorianCalendar), right?

Hi! i'm having a problem with my safari as unnecessary new tabs keeps opening overtime i open some link! is anyone experiencing something like this !

hi! i'm having a problem with my safari as unnecessary new tabs keeps opening overtime i open some link! is anyone experiencing something like this !

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

What are some best practices to work with Compressor 3 droplets and new Compressor 4?

I have purchased Final Cut Pro X / Motion 5 and Compressor 4 from the App Store. My installation of Final Cut Studio 6.0.6 / Motion 3.0.2 / Compressor 3.0.5 has been moved to a new folder "Final Cut Studio". I have started the old version of Motion first as advised in this document.
I just tried to use my old Compressor 3 droplets and i am able to convert as before.
I am wondering what I should do now and what the best practices are
Use the old droplets and stick with Compressor 3?
Import the droplets to a new location to be able to use them in Compressor 4?
Recreate new droplets with similar settings within Compressor 4?
What are the changes I can expect from using Compressor 4?

I've found that it helps to meet with each person in your new org that you'll be supporting. Start with the Eloqua Admin(s) and ask for an overview of standard reports, naming conventions, folder structure, processes, etc. Make sure to do the same with sales operations, too. If you're moving into an admin role ask for the data dictionary so you can study it to understand how the data maps from front end CMS to MAP to CRM.
The next phase would be to meet with field marketing and campaign managers. Ask them about current projects, future projects and how you'll support their success with Eloqua.
And last but certainly not least - process documentation! Ask for all of those things and you'll be rocking and rolling in no time.
Good luck in your new role!

I have some loops from acid 5 which I have dragged in a folder to the loop browser. Some of them retain the folder name in the View: and some don't. I have had some that seem to go in but I can't find them. Where should I look?

I have some loops from acid 5 which I have dragged in a folder to the loop browser. Some of them retain the folder name in the View: and some don't. I have also had some that seem to go in but I can't find them. If I try to add them again, I get a msg that they are already there. Where should I look?

It may be best to recreate the folder and the smart playlists from scratch.

Some loops not showing.

i installed gb3 on top of gb1, i found almost every loop appears twice in the loop browser. i then trashed the old "apple loops for garageband" folder and the old "apple loops index" folder.
after that, problem solved, but some loops are now missing in the loop browser. i've checked, the "missing" loops are still in the loop folder.
why would that happen?
how to solve?
k.

Make sure Keyword BRowsing is turned off in GB's prefs. Also any loops not in the same time signature as your song won't be displayed.

Only way to get it back is to restore your phone from a backup, if those pics were included in that backup.
But most likely those pics are gone.
What you should've done was import http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 the pics to your computer and after you restored from your old backup, you could sync those new pics to your phone via itunes.

Help, please! Any advice on how I link my new iMac and my new itunes software with existing external harddrive containing my entire itunes library?

Help, please! Any advice on how I link my new iMac and my new itunes software with existing external harddrive containing my entire itunes library?

Hello!
It should be a matter of
Quiting iTunes first if it's running
Connecting your external harddrive to your Mac, use the Finder to browse to it
Find your iTunes folder on the ext HDD and double-click on iTunes Library.itl
If you have any trouble with this, please let us know.

Hi,

DVD problem with missing loops, instruments

(trying to get a helpful subject there for those searching for answers)
the fact that the loops are greyed out and instruments missing in new garagebands is well known. so is the solution of installing from DVD. i cant seem to get that to work for my high school music class.
back story is that every student has a macbook (yes i know.. amazing). thing is, most students give their macs to the IT department to get their machines 'set up' and the IT department collects their DVDs. i borrowed a bunch of those DVDs from the IT department and inserted the DVD when asked but its just not working..
any ideas? do i need to get the EXACT DVDs that came with the machine? i doubt that.
also - why doesnt any of the download options work? does anyone from apple know thats broken?
lastly - what about instruments? i can get the students some loops by dragging loops of my machine into garageband (using target disk mode), but how do i get instruments? i dont drag them into the loop browser, so where might they get put? should i put them in /Application Support/?
as we're talking about 37 students (this semster - last semester we had an ugly fix) i thought i'd ask before i did something.
thanks a bunch..

I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out". No probs with old computer, just the new one. I'm onto my third new computer - same problem. Any suggestions please?

I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs using the new computer, there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out" during play back, similar to a small scratch on a vinyl record. Although when I play the same song over again, the "miss" occurs in a different location during the song. No probs with old computer, just the new one. I'm onto my third new computer - same problem. Any suggestions please?

You don't say which version of iTunes you are using, but the symptoms you describe have been encountered by some users with the 64-bit version of iTunes 12.1.
There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent. The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer. The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8). It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

Some advice with some loops - I'm new to java!
