Thread: free tutoring for beginners

Hi, i am trying to get better at communication skills. So i am willing to tutor any one who is new to java, algorithm, or GUI. And in return I don't expect anything.

Hi mate..I could do with help to design a library project..your help would be appreciated..thanks

--- Update ---

ps..Im very new to JAVA

Just remember, you get what you paid for.

so do u reckon its possible? i ve done the basics like designing the book class, library class, loan class and the membership class. i ve also done some mutators and accessors. let me know and how much...cheers..

how much...cheers..

See:

And in return I don't expect anything.

so do u reckon its possible?

Of course. Anything is possible, especially the impossible..

i ve done the basics like designing the book class, library class, loan class and the membership class. i ve also done some mutators and accessors.

Finish it yourself. Because:
1) You will learn more
2) You will know your project well and this will aid in troubleshooting
3) You can maintain and modify the code more effectively
4) If you have done so much already, why give the glory to someone else, that is the best part.

Ye, i ve done a bit but it wont compile and i struggled with the arraylist

import java.util.ArrayList;

{
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
this.phoneNumber = phoneNumber;
this.refNumber = refNumber;

}

public String getPhoneNumber()

}

The membership class

import java.util.ArrayList;

/**

public class Library
{
// instance variables - replace the example below with your own
private ArrayList<Membership> member;
private ArrayList<Book> books;

/**
* Constructor for objects of class Library
*/
public Library(Membership member)
{
// initialise instance variables
members = new ArrayList<Membership>();
books = new ArrayList<Book>();
}

/**
* An example of a method - replace this comment with your own
*
* @param y a sample parameter for a method
* @return the sum of x and y
*/
public int sampleMethod(int y)
{


}
}
}

The library class

/**
* Write a description of class Loan here.
*
* @author (Michael Clark)
* @version (30th October 2012, version 0.1)
*/
public class Loan
{
// instance variables - replace the example below with your own
private int x;

/**
* Constructor for objects of class Loan
*/
public Loan()
{
// initialise instance variables
x = 0;
}

/**
* An example of a method - replace this comment with your own
*
* @param y a sample parameter for a method
* @return the sum of x and y
*/
public int sampleMethod(int y)
{
// put your code here
return x +



this is just a template for the loan class

clarky, your question is important, so give it its own separate thread/question rather than hijacking hwoarang69's thread. Also, when you do re-ask your question in its own thread, please 1) put [code=java] [/code] tags around your code so that it retains its formatting and is readable, and please 2) show the compilation errors, and indicate by comment in the code which line is causing the compilation errors. Best of luck!

cheers mate, i know wot u mean now, i only joined last night..
