Thread: Help for java homework

can you please elaborate more of what do you need in your program?

Sounds to me like you want to put all your toString code into a private method, then just call the private method from toString().

Or even better, instead of having static ints represent the type of wine, use an enum

    public enum WineType {
        RED,
        WHITE,
        PINK;
    }

However if I read this question correct you want some help on implementing the getTypeAsString method I take it.

private String getTypeAsString() {
    if type equals 1 return "red";
    else if type equals 2 return "white";
    else if type equals 3 return "pink";
    else return "unknown";
}

You have to figure out how to write the code for the actual thing but that's more or less what you can do. You can of course use a switch as well.

I don't like java... C programming was much easier for me. XD

So I did a switch...

	final static int red = 1;
	final static int white = 2;
	final static int pink = 3;
 
	private String getTypeAsString() {
            switch(type){
    	         case red: return "red";
    				break;
    	        case white: return "white";
    				   break;
    	        case pink: return "pink";
    				 break;
	    }
	}

Method toString

public String toString(){
    	return "\n\t" + getName() + " is a " + getType(getTypeAsString()) + " wine from " + getOrigin() + " and it costs " + getCost() + "$.";

JCreator LE is telling me getType() cannot be applied to java.lang.string -_- The switch would have worked in C programming...

Its probably because you're trying to pass the value of getTypeAsString into the getType method in your toString method.

maybe its better if you ask your problem in C forums..
