Trouble with Scanner

Okay I'm a little stumped as to how to use Scanner to scan the user input and then using delimiter "." to seperate the two numbers that is seperated by the period and assign them as int's here's what I have:
import java.util.* ;
import java.math.* ;
public class LongDistance {
     private static Scanner sc1 = new Scanner(System.in) ;
     private static Scanner sc2 = new Scanner(System.in) ;
     private static float input = new Float(00.00) ;
     private static float input2 = new Float(000.000) ;
     //private static String [] startTimeArray = new String [2] ;
     private static int hours = 0 ;
     private static int minutes = 0 ;
     private static double rate1 = 0.14 ;
     private static double rate2 = 0.42 ;
     private static double rate3 = 0.28 ;
     private static int roundedInput2 ;
     private static void getStartingTime() {
          input = sc1.nextFloat() ;
          return ;
     private static void getDurationOfCall () {
          input2 = sc2.nextFloat() ;
     private static void validDurations () {
          sc1 = new Scanner(System.in) ;
               sc1.useDelimiter(".") ;
               hours = sc1.nextInt() ;
               minutes = sc1.nextInt() ;
               System.out.print(hours) ;
          return ;
     private static void validCallDurations () {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
     System.out.print("Starting time: ") ;
     getStartingTime () ;
     System.out.print("Duration of Call (in format hh.mm): ") ;
     getDurationOfCall () ;
     validDurations () ;
     //System.out.print(startTimeArray[0]) ;
}

Okay I put in just some values with two decimal places such as 20.00 for the starting time and 20.00 for the duration of time which is in HH.MM format. After I press enter the program just continues running without displaying anything. I've tried to convert it from string to int and such but to no avail. I just want to know if i'm on the right track as far as the coding is concerned. I know everything is static, I know i'm not closing scanners, I know I'm coding in that kind of way which is bad. Okay the teacher's teaching style isn't what I like, better than using the word sucks. What I'm expecting it to do is take the first 2 digits of the duration input and the 2 digits after the decimal and save them seperately in an int variable. With this I can take the hours and convert that into minutes than add the minutes to the minutes saved in the other integer than do an if statement. That is my plan.

    I scan the image but am not able to get it off of the 'scanner' window to the computer

    Try scanning from your Mac. Use Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
    Click once on the scanner on the left side, then click on Show Details along the bottom. Along the right side you will see LOTS of options for scanning and saving.

  • Having trouble with scanner.hasNext()

    hey guys,
    i'm doing in assignment for which i need to use the scanner class's hasNext() method but for some reasons i'm not getting teh result i expect maybe someone could help me and explain me where my understanding is wrong, thanks i advance
    here's what i've, very simpleand basic code:
    public static void main (String[] args)
            String str = "My name is" + "\n" + "Muhammad";
            Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
            while (input.hasNext ()) {
                System.out.println (input.next ()); 
                System.out.println(input.hasNext ());
    If my input is this: "My name" then it should display:
    My
    true
    name
    false
    and then exit from the loop but it's not doing that instead it displays this:
    my
    true
    name and then asks for input again, then displays
    true (that's obvious bec, i feed another input)However, if i've pass a string as an paramter to scanner then it works fine. e.g.
    String str = "My name is" + "\n" + "Muhammad";
    Scanner input = new Scanner(str);
    Output:
    My
    true
    name
    true
    is
    true
    Muhammad
    falseCould someone please explain me what is the problem or where my understanding is wrong, thanks in advance!

    ok i got that but is there way to get out of the
    loop? Because what i'm eventually trying to do is
    read an input, could be mutliple lines, then do some
    manipulation. If you're reading from the keyboard--i.e., System.in--how will you, the user, signal to your program that you're done?
    * Not type anything for 30 seconds? Ick.
    * Type a special "DONE" token?
    * Enter a fixed number of lines?
    There has to be some agreed upon signal between your program and whoever/whatever is providing the input as to what it means to be "done." Decide on that, and write your code accordingly.
    There's no way to know that there are "no more tokens" on System.in, because System.in doesn't "end."

  • Trouble with my scanner.

    After installing the new OS, I'm having trouble with my HP scanner (documents turn out solid black). What can I do?

    What software are you using with the scanner?  Have you tried Image Capture, from Finder > Applications?
    That has been working for my Epson much better than the Epson software.

  • (Trouble printing) Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510.

    Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510. (Nothing Prints).
    I have a Macbook Pro and am having difficulty printing documents from ‘Pages' from my Hp Deskjet 1510. I have installed the necessary software for the printer and it is connected via USB. Every time I try to print the printer icon comes up as it should, 'printing' and then 'job completed' and then the icon disappears. (Nothing is printed.) I thought it might be something to do with Pages compatibility with the printer but exporting the document to Word or making it a PDF doesn’t change anything. I don’t have Microsoft Word on my computer. The scanner does work and when I printed a ‘Test Page’ that worked too.
    Let me know if you know why this is happening.

    With these settings the network now works flawlessly, however, when i have my ethernet cable plugged in, my internet access via my airport card(on the macbook pro) is no longer available. Hoping you can tell me why this would be with this info i've provided.
    Educated guess. The networking devices have priorities as to which are used. The standard order is that Ethernet has a higher priority than Airport.
    While your Ethernet is unplugged it is inactive and the Mac ignores it. Once you plug it in, the Mac sees that it is active and switches traffic to that interface.
    I actually take advantage of this feature at home, but configuring my Airport and Ethernet with identical fixed IP addresses. Normally I'll use Airport, but if I'm copying a huge file and I want faster performance, I'll just walk my MacBook (previously iBook, previously Powerbook) over to my Ethernet switch and plug in my MacBook. Magically, the Mac detects that the Ethernet is active and continues the file transfer uninterrupted over the faster 100baseT Ethernet connection. When the transfer is finished, or if I really need to move back to the Comfy Chair, I unplug the Ethernet cable, and all activity reverts back to the Airport, all without disrupting any existing networking connections.
    You on the other hand have totally different settings for your Ethernet and your Airport, so when you switch to Ethernet, you basically loose your Airport connections.
    Something you can try:
    System Preferences -> Network
    Gear icon on the bottom left, next to the [+] [-] icons.
    Select *Set Service Order...*
    Now Drag the network interfaces into the perfer priority order you want. In this case put Airport above Ethernet.
    NOTE: You may want to create a new Network Location for this, instead of messing with your normal home Location (which is most likely the default Automatic. That way you have your original you can always fall back to.

  • Having Trouble With Formula

    i am doing an assignment and im having a lot of trouble with it.
    here is what it is asking for
    read a value representing a number of seconds, then print the equivalent amount of time as a combination of hours, minutes, and seconds. (For example, 9999 seconds is equivalent to 2 hours, 46 minutes, and 39 seconds).
    and so far i have this
    package Convert;
    import java.util.Scanner;
    public class nSeconds {
    public static void main(String[] args)

  • Need help with scanner/printer

    I'm having trouble with my scanner. I only started having problems yesterday. When I came to this website it told me to use HP print scan dr. But I ran it, and it told me to go back to HP customer care. I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it. Nothing works. I don't know what I did to it. 

    Hey @bluepen ,
    Thank you for joining us on the HP Forums today, hope you enjoy your time with us!
    I understand you are having trouble with your scanner.
    So that I can better assist you I need to know a few things first;
    1. What Operating System are you using? Press the link to find out, in case you don't know already. http://whatsmyos.com/
    2. What printer are you using?
    3. How is the printer connected to the computer?
    Do you have the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or is it in a surge protector or power bar? Even if you have been using a surge protector/power bar all this time and you feel it is not the cause, please connect it to a wall outlet just so we can eliminate the power source as the root cause. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector
    In this document you will see, ISSUE: Problems or issues may arise when an HP LaserJet series printer is connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), a power strip, or a surge protector

    Searching on the web, most results I found lead to this page, where it is said that the problem is due to badly tuned overcurrent protection, and advocated that unplugging and switching off the computer for a little while gets things back into normal. This does not really work for me; the problem seems to occur more randomly, unfortunately with high probability (my camera is available after less than one boot out of ten).
    I tried to ensure that the ehci-hcd module is loaded at boot with the ignore-oc option (with a file in /etc/module-load.d/), to no avail.
    I also wrote a script which alternatively removes and reloads the ehci-pci driver until my device is found in lsusb. It is sometimes helpful, but usually not. And even when my device is found that way, it can only be used for a while before disappearing again.
    Anyway, such a hack is unacceptable... So, my questions are:
    is it indeed related to overcurrent protection ?
    is there anything else I can try ?
    should I file somewhere an other of the numerous bug reports about "unable to enumerate USB device" already existing ?
    If of any importance, I am running linux 3.15.7, because at the time I installed my system, I couldn't get the hybrid graphic card Intel/AMD working under 3.16.

    Hello Sue,
    I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
    I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
    It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

  • Trouble with OR in where clause

    Hello,
    I'm having trouble with execution speed. The problem seems to be with using OR in my where clause.
    Here's the meat of the function where i_pledge_number is an input parm:
    BEGIN
    SELECT /*+ INDEX (pp) */ SUM(pp.prim_pledge_amount)
    INTO return_amount
    FROM
    primary_pledge pp
    WHERE
    -- Get total if multiple allocations
    pp.prim_pledge_number IN
    (SELECT pc.pledge_number
    FROM pledge_codes pc
    WHERE pc.pledge_code_type = 'M'
    AND pc.pledge_code = 'AC'
    AND lpad(pc.pledge_comment,10,'0') = i_pledge_number)
    -- Get total if single allocation
    OR pp.prim_pledge_number = i_pledge_number;
    RETURN return_amount;
    END;
    If I comment out either half of the OR statement (either the subquery or the pp.prim_pledge_number = i_pledge_number half) the function returns a value in .02 seconds. If I leave the OR in, it takes 2.764 seconds to execute?? Can someone please show me a better way (faster) to do this? I tried using nvl() around the subquery but couldn't get it to compile.
    Thanks

    These things are difficult to diagnose remotely, but here is something you can try....
    SELECT */ SUM(pp.prim_pledge_amount)
    INTO return_amount
    FROM   primary_pledge pp
    WHERE  pp.prim_pledge_number IN (SELECT pc.pledge_number
                                     FROM pledge_codes pc
                                     WHERE pc.pledge_code_type = 'M'
                                     AND pc.pledge_code = 'AC'
                                     AND lpad(pc.pledge_comment,10,'0') = i_pledge_number
    UNION ALL
    SELECT i_pledge_number FROM dual)
       RETURN return_amount;
    END;If that doesn't do anything (and it might well not) there are a large number of different ways we can recast this query. To save us further guessing please give us more details: execution plans, database version number, volumetrics.

  • A trouble with "LIKE" in a select statement

    Hi!
    I'm having trouble with "LIKE" in a select statement...
    With Access I can make the following and everything works well:
    SELECT name, birthday
    FROM client
    WHERE birthday LIKE '*/02/*';
    but if try to do it in my application (it uses Access), it doesn't work - I just can't understand that!!!
    In my application the "month" is always the currently month taken from the "System". Look what I'm doing...
    String query1 = "SELECT name, birthday " +
              "FROM client " +
              "WHERE birthday " +
              "LIKE '*/" +
              pMonth +
              "/*' " +
              "ORDER BY birthday ASC ";
    ResultSet rs = statement1.executeQuery(consulta1);
    boolean moreRecords = rs.next();
    The variable "moreRecords" is always "false", the query returns nothing although the table "client" has records that attend the query.
    Please, anyone can help me?! It's a little bit urgent.
    Thanks,

    Hi Katia,
    I'll bet the problem lies with the characters you're using to escape the LIKE clause. You're using the ones that Access likes to see, but that's not necessarily what's built into the JDBC-ODBC driver class.
    You can find out what the correct escape wildcard characters are from the java.sql.DatabaseMetaData.getSearchStringEscape() method. It'll tell you what to use in the LIKE clause.
    I'm not 100% sure about your code. It doesn't use query1 anywhere. I'd do this:
    String query = "SELECT name, birthday FROM client WHERE birthday LIKE ? ORDER BY birthday ASC";
    PreparedStatement statement = connection.createStatement(query);
    String escape = connection.getMetaData().getSearchStringEscape();
    String test = escape + '/' + pMonth + '/' + escape;
    statement.setString(1, test);
    ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery();
    while (rs.hasNext())
    // load your data into a data structure to pass back.
    rs.close();
    statement.close();Let me know if that works. - MOD

  • Edge Animation having troubles with iOS devices within Muse Site

    Hi All! I've been creating a mobile version of my website www.rinkdesigns.com and have it all complete. I created an animation/navigation bar within Adobe Edge Animate and imported it into Muse. It functions AMAZINGLY on my Nexus 4 (Android) in Chrome but on a buddies iPhone 5 Chrome only loads about 3/4 of the animation/nav bar, in Safari the animation does not load at all and half of the page background does not load either. Please check out the preview site here http://rinkdesignsmobile.businesscatalyst.com/phone
    Has anyone else been having animation/mobile troubles with iOS devices? Any hints as to how you fixed your errors would be extremely helpful! I also posted this question in the Muse forum and haven't gotten a response...
    Thanks,
    John

    Or, how about this:
    Does anyone know how to have Edge Animate objects that utilize "_top" in an open url trigger make the Muse site that they are a part of open a new window/tab with that action (as opposed to having it open the url in the current page, or using "_blank" in the trigger)?

  • Trouble with 3rd party VST installs for Garageband, can't find instruments

    Hi,
    I am having trouble with Audio Units for Garageband when installing 3rd party software, VSTs, loops, instruments. I have more issues with Logic Pro. I am hoping that it is the same underlying issue and that I am just missing something. I have the manuals (not great for troubleshooting). I am confused with some installs use User Library and others use the Computer Library. I do go to the mfgs sites for updates. The installs sometimes work as standalones but I don't see ALL of the components of the software in say Garageband or Logic. Mostly, I am missing the "instruments" and "loops" that I want to access within the DAW. Some examples:
    • Here is some of the software I am talking about:  East West sample libraries (Play and Native Instruments); Vienna Symphonic librarires; Sylenth1 (just last night); Sample Tank 2 and Total Workstation 2 from IK Multimedia and others.
    • In GB I see the Audio Units for Vienna, Play, Sylenth, some of the IK Multimedia but NOT any instruments when I go to the "Sound Generator" -- I seem to be missing the instruments and loops. I see less AUs in Logic Pro. Some of these are VST instruments.
    • Can I just drag-drop samples to the library folders to fix this?
    • The plug-ins do not seem to work (though Sylenth1 worked for a single sound). When there is a standalone app (as in Sample Tank), I finally got the "sounds" to be reinstalled and loaded, those sounds/samples don't show up in any DAW.
    • When and if the sounds/loops/samples show up in GB's "Instruments" section will I be able to tell that they belong to that particular software or library?
    Thanks in advance.

    Found the answer myself, it was simple:
    • Select the Track
    • Show the Instrument (info area)
    • Click on Edit
    • Click on the "Sound Generator" pop up field.
    • At the bottom of the pop-up list, select from the Audio Units that you have installed. This is where you see "Sample Tank 2, Vienna Instruments..."
    • NEXT -- IMPORTANT:   CLICK ON THE PICTURE next to the Sound Generator pop-up field.The AU unit loads up, the interface pops up, you load up the instruments in this AU Unit. You do NOT see the sounds from the AU unit in the normal Apple instrument list.
    This was not intuitive but once you know it, fairly simple.
    Still, the devil is in the details -- more questions on the way.
