Can you help me, sfisque Xd |

i'm not very versed in financial math, but if you're trying to read input from the user, in java, you pretty much have 3 avenues for a "simple" program. either pass in as an argument to the program [main( String[] argv ) ], use an InputStream or Reader to read stdin, or gather input from a graphical widget via swing/awt window. |

No idea what you're talking about :D |

Look at that link if you want to understand better what I'm supposed to do |
| 19:59 |
|
sfisque |
you might want to explore something simpler, like "hello world" or adding two numbers together |
| 20:00 |
|
sfisque |
if you are just learning java for the first time |
| 20:00 |
|
SageOfFailure |
This is a program for school |
| 20:00 |
|
SageOfFailure |
For a computer science class |
| 20:00 |
|
sfisque |
that link doesnt work for me |
| 20:00 |
|
SageOfFailure |
Oh right, you have to login, huh? |
| 20:00 |
|
SageOfFailure |
My bad |
| 20:00 |
|
sfisque |
does your class have a TA or does the prof have an email you can send help requests to? |
| 20:01 |
|
SageOfFailure |
It's due tonight, and we don't do help requests |
| 20:01 |
|
SageOfFailure |
I just want some tips |
| 20:01 |
|
sfisque |

Here's a picture of my current program |
| 20:01 |
|
SageOfFailure |
See where I created the variable "annual" |
| 20:02 |
|
SageOfFailure |
I want to switch that out with a variable "monthly" instead and have it be what the user inputs divided by 12 |
| 20:02 |
|
sfisque |
aye. well that's your answer. just translate that sentence into a math equation |
| 20:02 |
|
SageOfFailure |
Can I just take fsl.nextDouble() and divide it by 12? |
| 20:03 |
|
sfisque |
if you're on a relatively modern jvm you should be able to, due to auto boxing |
| 20:03 |
|
sfisque |
but you might have to coerce the Double to a double |
| 20:03 |
|
SageOfFailure |
I guess I'll try that then. I was thinking there might be a specific way to do it with a java method or object |
| 20:04 |
|
SageOfFailure |
Nice, it worked |
| 20:04 |
|
sfisque |
:-D |
| 20:05 |
|
SageOfFailure |
just wrote "double monthly = fsl.nextDouble()/12;" |
| 20:05 |
|
SageOfFailure |
I'm going to have more questions within the next hour(I need to read up on printf real quick). Will you be here to help me? |
| 20:06 |
|
sfisque |
i will be afk, but maybe someone else will be around. you can always ask questions and check back. people come and go from afk alot |
| 20:06 |
|
SageOfFailure |
There's only like 11 people here. I hope so |
