hey peeps, i have a really big probelemo...i'm in grade 11 and writing i.t p1 prac on monday and still dunno how to call a method from another to a class.....im trying to create a simple program........

Code:

public class Display
 {
  void display(String heading)
  {
        System.out.println("My name is bob.");
  }
 }

---

then call it from this class

Code:

---


public class CallDisplay
 {
  public static void main(String[]args)
  {
        Display print = new Display();
        print.display();
        System.out.print(print);
        }
 }

Vipur, two things you have to know to work forums like these:

1) Start your *own* thread, for your problem. With very few exceptions, you'll be way better off.

2) Get into the *right* forum. :p :p

This is the C forum, not the C++ forum, and C doesn't have classes at all.

Get over to our C++ forum.

For school assignments, I prefer Borland Turbo C/C++, myself. That's what I used to work on your program, btw.

I believe if you add a few things to the program I pared down for you, you'll have better luck than trying to use the bloated program, as the "backbone", and just trim it down and make it work right.

I killed it (your old program), at least once, trying to get it whittled down in size. :p

If you have any further questions, post up your current version so I'll know where you're at.

And *AGAIN*, you're in the WRONG FORUM!

And don't hijack other posters threads - start your own, and do it in the right forum (C++).

Agreed, but this looks more like Java than C, C++ or C#.

Finally found the thread..How did u kill my program? lol
I have an idea..what if i use cases for num1 like
case 1:
for()
case2:
for()
and generate different questions..but the cases would have different operators.like case1, plus, case 2, minus or times and so on..
at least that way..the code would be way shorter than before..what dou think?

As you can see the code creates a semblance of randomness..i just have to figureout how to store the answers in a way that it won't overwrite the previous one..iwill look at ur example and see how to do it..and how to change option 3 as well..thanks man..pls tell me if option 2 is now better than before..
yeah Borland C..is alright..but it is dimmer and makes my eyes sore..how didu get visual studio or C++ to compile for u? it doesnt work for me :(

lol sorry, i just like registered yday so i like looked everywhere for creating my own thread, counldn't find it lol.........but thanks, il post in c++:)
