Uni Programing Help

You start the loop with counter = month (yes, you've replaced 'month' with counter2, but counter2 = month, so it doesn't make any difference), and the loop condition is to stop as soon as (counter<month) is false. Does it really surprise you that the loop doesn't do anything?

You really need to read up on the syntax for a for() loop. To be honest, I find it shocking that you could get almost 57 percent for your last coursework and be coming up with code this poor.

You know, no need to be rude, for a start its my first year, and the programing we are learning is very basic, and for a second its very easy to make a mistake and not spot it!

int counter1 = monthBirth+1;
        int counter2 = month+1;
        
        for(int counter=counter1;counter<month;counter++){
            counter1++;
            monthTotal = monthTotal+daysInMonth[counter1];
            
        }        
        for(int counter=counter2;counter<monthBirth;counter++){
            System.out.println(counter);
            counter++;
            monthTotalFinal = monthTotalFinal+daysInMonth[counter2];
        }

Is what I now have, but still does not return the correct value, may end up going with the 24 if statements after all...

this thread wouldn't have got anywhere near as many posts had it been posted in the right section.

scrap "HTML, Graphics & Programming" i say

Meh I find HTML Extremly easy, as for Graphics, not done them yet so I cant say, and no I wont give up on Programing, Im not letting it beat the j! It may take time but I shall master it!

Well I have given up on the for loops, and gone with 24 if statements, it may look a mess, but as you say its my first year and im here to learn how to be a student, and how to learn!

Im getting programing much more than I was at the start of the year, hell I found it hard to make a helloworld program to begin with, now I can get programs running fine, I just feel that my if statements (Well actualy I know) can be done in a much neater, less space intensive manner!

 

[jcb33]

you could always tidy them up using a switch statement

I have never even heard of that.... Not been taught everything yet.... not by a long shot :/

I have just made a UML Diagram for the following:

In a computer game, clans are made up of a set of players. Each clan has a name, a flag, a store containing clan items and some cash. Each player has a name, an experience score, and a collection of items (weapons, armour, etc). Produce a UML class diagram showing these classes and their relationships.

Is it at all correct? Never made one before

Your types seem a bit... weird :/

I would expect getItemInfo to return an Item, getClanName to return a string, etc., and then wouldn't Clan.Name be more useful as a string?

Also, it would probably be best to have an Item class, with "items" being a collection of instances of said class, so you'd have something like (C#, but I'm sure you can translate to Java—I'm not familiar with generics in Java, sorry):

Clan clan = new Clan("Witty Clan Name");

clan.Items = new List<Item>();

clan.Items.Add(new Item("Gun"));
clan.Items.Add(new Item("Grenade"));

Although items themselves would probably be better as structs, eg

public struct Gun {
    public string Name = "Gun";
    public float Value = 2500.00;
}

public struct Grenade {
    public string Name = "Grenade";
    public float Value = 400.00;
}

Well AFAIK I dont need to make the actualy items as I dont have much info to go on. Also can you have the word Item in UML? As this does not represent a type.... well not that I know
