Thread: help me plz with my code

hey guys

I am a new member will you please help me with this question?
Design a program that creates a virtual world you can “walk” around in, based on text. The user should be able to type in N,E,S,W to move North, East, South, and West.
The world can be represented with a two dimensional array. Based on where the user wants to move, you can increment or decrement the first or second dimension of the array.
Print the user’s position after each move, in X/Y coordinates

here is the code which i made


package chapt10;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class walk {

/**
* @param is
*/
public static void main(int[][] is) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

main(new int [10][10]);
Scanner sc = new Scanner (System.in);
String choice = "Y";
while (!choice.equalsIgnoreCase(choice))


System.out.println("Enter 'N' to move north, 'S' to move south, 'E' to move east, or 'W' to move west");
int currentX = 5;
int currentY = 5;

boolean quitGame = false;

while (!quitGame)
{
System.out.println("Enter 'N' to move north, 'S' to move south, 'E' to move east, or 'W' to move west");
System.out.println("Enter 'Q' to quit the game.");


String userInput = sc.nextLine();

if (userInput == "N")
{
currentY = currentY + 1; // move the player one unit north.

}
else if (userInput == "S")
{
currentX--; // move the player one unit south.
}
else if (userInput == "E")
{
currentY--; // move the player one unit east.
}
else if (userInput == "W")
{
currentX--; // move the player one unit west

}
else if (userInput == "Q")
{

quitGame = true;
continue;
}
else
{
System.out.println("I didn't recongnize that comman,Please try again.");

}
System.out.println("Tou are at the position" + currentY + "," + currentY + ",");
}
}
}

What is the question?
Please explain what your problem is. Show the error messages or show what the program does and what is wrong with its output.

if (userInput == "N")

A problem I see is that you are using == to compare Strings. You need to use the equals method to compare the contents of objects. == is for comparing primitives.

thanks

here is the copy

package chapt10;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class walk {

private static int currentx;

/**
* @param is
*/
public static void maps(int[][] is) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

maps(new int [10][10]);
Scanner sc = new Scanner (System.in);
String choice = "Y";
while (!choice.equalsIgnoreCase(choice))


System.out.println("Enter 'N' to move north, 'S' to move south, 'E' to move east, or 'W' to move west");
setCurrentx(5);
int currentY = 5;

boolean quitGame = false;

while (!quitGame)
{
System.out.println("Enter 'N' to move north, 'S' to move south, 'E' to move east, or 'W' to move west");
System.out.println("Enter 'Q' to quit the game.");


String userInput = sc.nextLine();

if (userInput == "N")
{
currentY = currentY + 1; // move the player one unit north.

}
else if (userInput == "S")
{
setCurrentx(getCurrentx() - 1); // move the player one unit south.
}
else if (userInput == "E")
{
currentY--; // move the player one unit east.
}
else if (userInput == "W")
{
setCurrentx(getCurrentx() - 1); // move the player one unit west

}
else if (userInput == "Q")
{

quitGame = true;
continue;
}
else
{
System.out.println("I didn't recongnize that comman,Please try again.");

}
System.out.println("Tou are at the position" + currentY + "," + currentY + ",");
}
}

public static int getCurrentx() {
return currentx;
}

public static void setCurrentx(int currentx) {
walk.currentx = currentx;
}
}




and the console show me this message
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main
Exception in thread "main"

is not this one

public static void maps(int[][] is) {

Computers are very fussy about spelling and many other things. You must give it exactly what it wants.
The String[] args parameters are where the java command will pass in commandline options that follow the class name when you start your program. The name MUST be main

thank you so much

here is the code
package chapt10;
import java.util.Scanner;


public class walk {


public static void main(int[][] is){

main(new int [10][10]);
Scanner sc = new Scanner (System.in);
String choice = "Y,x";
while (!choice.equalsIgnoreCase(choice))


System.out.println("Enter 'N' to move north, 'S' to move south, 'E' to move east, or 'W' to move west");
int currentx = 5;
int currentY = 5;

boolean quitGame = false;

while (!quitGame)
{
System.out.println("Enter 'N' to move north, 'S' to move south, 'E' to move east, or 'W' to move west");
System.out.println("Enter 'Q' to quit the game.");


String userInput = sc.nextLine();

if (userInput == "N")
{
currentY = currentY + 1; // move the player one unit north.

}
else if (userInput == "S")
{
}
else if (userInput == "E")
{
currentY--; // move the player one unit east.
}
else if (userInput == "W")
{

}
else if (userInput == "Q")
{

quitGame = true;
continue;
}
else
{
System.out.println("I didn't recongnize that comman,Please try again.");

}
System.out.println("Tou are at the position" + currentY + "," + currentY + ",");
}
}

}

-------
but why the " int currentx = 5; "
is not correct

Please post the FULL text of any error messages here.
Or explain what your problem is.

You need to use the equals method to compare the contents of objects like Strings. The == operator is for comparing primitives.

when I run it the eclpis says :

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main
Exception in thread "main

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main

See post#4 and #6 about your missing main method.

yeah i got it and i change it to

public static void main(String is){

but when i run it still did not the result.........anyways thank you

It MUST BE EXACTLY as I posted in post#4 EXACTLY!!!

sorry guys I am not really good with java

I made this code but i'm still having trouble with if else statement any idea?

package chapt10;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class walk {

public static void main(String[][] args ){

Scanner sc = new Scanner (System.in);
String choice = "Y";
while (!choice.equalsIgnoreCase(choice))
{

System.out.println("Enter 'N' to move north, 'S' to move south, 'E' to move east, or 'W' to move west");
int[][] currentY,currentx = new int[5][5];
int currentY1 = 5;
int currentx1 = 5;


boolean quitGame = false;

while (!quitGame)
{
System.out.println("Enter 'N' to move north, 'S' to move south, 'E' to move east, or 'W' to move west");
System.out.println("Enter 'Q' to quit the game.");


String userInput = sc.nextLine();

if (userInput == "N") {
currentY = currentY + 1;
} else if (userInput == "S") {
currentx = current + 1;
} else if (userInput == "E") {
currentY--;
} else if (userInput == "W") {
currentx--;
} else if (userInput == "Q")
{

quitGame = true;
continue;
} else {
System.out.println("I didn't recongnize that comman,Please try again.");
}
System.out.println("Tou are at the position" + currentY1 + "," + currentY1 + ",");
}
}
}

Since you didn't post any question, I guess you've solved it.

here is the question for the last code :

Add a function to your program you made during class.
This function should loop through each of the dimensions two arrays.
Use Math.Rand to randomly select Yes or No.
If yes, place something in that X,Y coordinate. It can be a gem, treasure, or something else of note. Use your imagineation.
The end result should be a randomly populated X/Y coordinate ‘world

To get help with your code, you will have to post your code and your questions.
