Why isnt this loop working?

I am trying to fill an array with the Fibonacci sequence.
Oh and, I know its very silly to use 'long i' instead of 'int i' as my incrementor in the for loop. But... I have a reason.
import java.math.*;
public class euler20{
     public static void main (String arghp[]){
          BigInteger a[]=new BigInteger [1000000];
          a[1]=new BigInteger("1");
          a[2]=new BigInteger("2");
          for(long i=3;i<10;i++)     
                    System.out.println(a[(int)i]);
                    a[(int)i]=new BigInteger(""+a[(int)i-1].add(a[(int)i-2]));
          Tell me I am doing something REALLY stupid..

uhm well, I imporvised my code a little..
replace a[(int)i]=new BigInteger(""+a[(int)i-1].add(a[(int)i-2]));with
a[(int)i]=a[(int)i-1].add(a[(int)i-2]);However, the problem persists.

    I personally didn't play with swing components when they were in the com.sun.java.swing state, but I have a strong feeling it is very buggy and could be causing your problem.
    Before posting gui issues, please use a newer API, even jdk1.1 would be fine, anything would be better than what your using.
    you wrote: I dont care if its javax.swing or
    com.sun.java.swing
    I would also gather from this statement that your attitude could be one of your other issues.

  • Why isnt my sound working on my ipod

    why isnt my sound working on my ipod only when i have headphones in

    If you confirmed the headphones are not the problem.
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

  • HT202853 I have many project made in move HD that are not updating to the new iMovie 10 on my new iMac.  Why is this not working as stated?  How do I get my projects back from backup after old iMac crashed?

    I have many projects made in imovie HD that are not updating to iMovie 10 on my new iMac.  Why is this not working as stated on the article HT202853?  How do I get my projects back from backup after old iMac crashed?

    According to:
    Update projects and events from previous versions of iMovie in iMovie (2014) - Apple Support
    you can update from iMovie versions 7, 8 and 9, but iMovie HD is iMovie 6.
    Maybe you can update in two steps, first from iMovie 6 to iMovie 7, 8 or 9 then to iMovie 10.

  • Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?

    Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?
    Depending on the system version, and Office Word version:
    - a pure URL link starting with http or even www sometimes works in PDF, either produced by Aperçu or Adobe, sometimes does not work;
    - other kind of links where the text under display is not a URL, never work!
    I like everything with Apple computers and software, except PDF generation. Output files are usually bigger in size, and no better quality, than under Windows. Furthermore, it is weird that something as common as hyperlinks does not work correctly!
    I related this question with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is still there with Mac OS Lion.
    This problem seems to have been around for years, without any proper solution from Apple and/or Adobe! To me, this is very embarrassing!

    Greetings NoNameGiven,
    If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

  • Why is this loop incorrect please

    Hello,
    Im trying to get a 5x5 grid of images to display on fullscreen mode.
    The only code that renders these 5 images is below. Please note, ive been testing this section out to try to fix the problem, using r + c for coords, and x and y to show the 5x5. To me, this loop goes through each y, 0 - 4 , and should display a 5 x 5 grid of images. Instead, only one row of 5, (the last one_ is shown. I really dont understand so if you can help, please do :)
            // draw the visible tiles
            int r = 1;
            int c =1;
            for (int y=0; y<5; y++) {
                for (int x=0; x <5; x++) {
                     r = r+10;
                     c=c+10;
                     Tile tile = map.getTile(x, y);
                     if (tile != null) {
                        g.drawImage(tile.base,r,c,
                            null);
            }Thankyou,
    L28

    Hello,
    thankyou for your reply. I used your code and unfortunately the output displays as 5 images, going down (eg 0,0 1,0 2,0 3,0 4,0). Swapping the x and y results in it showing 5 images left to right. Ive had a look and think the problem could be how the loop is called.
    here is how the code to render the 5x5 grid is used.
    GameLoop
      // draw the screen
                Graphics2D g = screen.getGraphics();
                draw(g);
                g.dispose();
                screen.update();
                // take a nap
                try {
                    Thread.sleep(20);...callable code
    public void draw(Graphics2D g) {
            renderer.draw(g, map,
                screen.getWidth(), screen.getHeight());
        }Using System.out.println, instead of being 25 outputs (ie the 5x5 grid), there are hundreds ( i think) of outputs (probably limited by how many lines System.out.println can display.
    Thankyou
    L28
    edit
    Hard coding the grid (replacing the loop code) produces expected output
    Tile tile1 = new Tile("GrassTile1");
            Tile tile2 = new Tile("GrassTile1");
            Tile tile3 = new Tile("GrassTile1");
            Tile tile4 = new Tile("GrassTile1");
            g.drawImage(tile1.base,0,0,
                    null);
            g.drawImage(tile2.base,0,64,
                    null);
            g.drawImage(tile3.base,0,128,
                    null);
            g.drawImage(tile4.base,0,192,
                    null);Edited by: Lance28 on Mar 29, 2008 11:54 AM

  • Why isnt this  working

    After a big loss of out-pulled hair here is the code:
    setInterval() calls getNewMess function but it happens
    nothing with onNewMess function.
    Instead, if i click refresh-button, it gives me result
    correctly.

    evt.target._parent
    is just using the event argument that is dispatched to and
    therefore received by your listener function. It is dispatched/sent
    by your button component instance. The event object from components
    - in as2 - normally contains at least two properties. A type
    property... in this case that's "click" , because its a click event
    and a target property. The target property is a reference to the
    component instance from which the event originated. It can be
    particularly useful if you have one listener handling events from
    many sources. So.....
    evt.target._parent is referring to the container clip of the
    instance that sent the event. i.e. The _parent of the button in
    this case.
    That's why I replaced it with t (=this) which is a reference
    to the timeline that the button is running in. Now it doesn't need
    to get that reference from checking the _parent of the evt.target
    property from the evt argument. Which means the argument that the
    newMess function receives can be ignored and its no longer reliant
    on it. Sounds confusing but once you "get" it, it all makes sense.
    Eventually, lol.
    And of couse you don't need to have a button if you don't
    want one.

  • Why isnt this working? add container to frame..

    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class MortgageCalcFrame {
        private static void createAndShowGUI() {
            //Create and set up the window.
            JFrame frame = new JFrame("Mortgage calculator");
            frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            // Add's a container in the frame
            Container content = new Container();
            frame.getContentPane().add(content, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
            JButton btn = new JButton("test");
            content.add(btn, BorderLayout.EAST);
            JTextField input = new JTextField(5);
            frame.getContentPane().add(input, BorderLayout.CENTER);
            //Display the window.
            frame.pack();
            frame.setVisible(true);
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    createAndShowGUI();
    }

    Well the problem you got is that the layout of a Container is null. You've got several options here.
    1. You set a layout for your container like this
        Container content = new Container();
        content.setLayout(new FlowLayout());2. You use a different container that inherits from container like Panel or JPanel since this one already got a FlowLayout set.
    Panel content = new Panel();or
    JPanel content = new JPanel(); //better since you're currently mixing Swing components and AWT.

  • Why isnt this working?? - I really need this!!!

    Hi, can you please have a go at this problem? Thnx!!
    Here is the code:
    import java.io.*;

    newname = in.readLine();}
    public String getName(){

    m.setName();

    public class Main3 {
    public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception {
    Main2 p = new Main2();
    System.out.print("Hello "+p.getName());}}

    For one, Main2 has a recursive constructor:
    public Main2() throws Exception
      //Main2 p=new Main2();
      //p.setName();
      setName(); // You don't need another instance
    }Also, there is no reason to create a new class to get every entry from standard in. You could just do:
    System.out.println("Enter A: ");
    a=in.readLine();
    System.out.println("Enter B: ");
    b=in.readLine();

  • Problem: Why does this only work for powers of 2?

    I wrote this program to create a golf league schedule for, ideally, eight players. However I want it to be flexible enough to permit for other denominations, such as 10 or 12. When I run the program it works perfectly for any number that is a power of 2 (2,4,8,16,32,etc...) but it will not work for other even numbers such as 6,10, or 12. If anyone has any insights it would be most helpful.

    Ah, I have discovered the problem. The reason for the infinite loop was because of the resetting of the counter/index after every successful match entry back to (a - 1). This was causing matches to be put into weeks where they didn't belong, which caused the program to infinitely loop because it couldn't find an appropriate week to place it's next match. The only time the count should be reset back to zero is when a new player A is being processed or the last valid array index has been referenced before an out of bounds exception would be thrown. I'm still not entirely sure why this doesn't occur on powers of 2 but theh again I haven't put too much thought into it having solved the initial problem! :)
    Anyways thanks for the input all who posted, much appreciated.
    Happy programming!!!!

  • Why is this loop infinite?

    I only want it to iterate once and prompt the user again, until they hit enter.
    public class assignment5
              public static void main(String[] args)
                   System.out.println("Please type in a sentence.\nTo quit at any time hit enter.");
                   String sentence = SavitchIn.readLine();
                   String sentenceTrim = sentence.trim();
                   int quit = sentence.length();
                   int questionIndex = sentenceTrim.indexOf("?");
                   int exclamationIndex = sentenceTrim.indexOf("!");
                   int length = sentenceTrim.length();
                   int evenOdd = length % 2;
                   do
                   if ((evenOdd == 0) && (questionIndex != -1))
                        System.out.println("Yes ");
                   else if ((evenOdd != 0) && (questionIndex != -1))
                        System.out.println("No ");
                   else if (exclamationIndex != -1)
                        System.out.println("Wow ");
                   else System.out.println("You always say \"" + sentenceTrim + "\" ");
                   while (length > 0);

    Doesn't this question have a little homework
    feeling??? No, not at all. His question is not "How do I make a program that returns when the user hits enter?" His question is "Why doesn't this work?"
    He has already tried and is clearly not getting what he predicted. What do you expect him to do? If he didn't feel this was the time to ask a question, then he has no hope.
    I think it is a very good question, although it probably belonged in the beginner forum.
    To answer the original poster, just follow your code one line at a time and when it starts to do things that you don't want it to, it's time to rethink the placement of your lines and loop points (start and stop). And think about what the other posters have written.
