Thread: Simple Java Poll - Please Help

Are you trying to do this as an applet? Or are you talking about, say, using jsp to display the quiz on a webpage? Or are you actually talking about javascript (which isn't java)?

I should point out that you might be reinventing the wheel here- I don't know what kind of website you have now, but I would predict that most packages (like wordpress, forums like these) have some kind of quiz feature pre-installed or at least available.

Applet, possibly.

At this stage I'm just trying to construct the code for the Poll on Java e.g Jeditor/Eclipse

That really wouldn't change the response you're getting. We need to know more background to answer your question. Actually, I'm not even sure what your question is. You've posted your requirements, but not where you're stuck. If you don't know where to start, the only thing I can really tell you is to consult the basic tutorials: The Java™ Tutorials

If you need help with your IDE there is a section of the forum for that:
Java IDEs

If you have java programming problems, you can post them here.

The IDE forum is for posting questions specific to an IDE- how to export a Jar in eclipse, for example. Problems about code are not inherently about an IDE, because you'd have the same problem in jEdit, eclipse, notepad, whatever. I've deleted your post in the IDE section.

You've posted your requirements, but you haven't actually said where you're stuck. What have you tried? What do you have so far?

Do you have a design for what you want the program to do? If the design is at a high level, you need to take each feature or step in the high level design and make a detailed design for how to do it.

When you have the details worked out, THEN you would start coding. Don't start coding without a detailed design.

Like I said, I suggest you check out the tutorial I linked. Can you write hello world?

Please stop posting duplicate copies of this same question in multiple forums. You aren't going to get any answers that are different from the advice I already gave you, and it's just going to confuse people trying to help you. I deleted your other post, again.

Did you read the tutorials? Did you try to write any code at all? What have you tried? Where are you stuck?

Ask your questions about the problems you are having writing a java program. So far there have not been anything specific asked that can be answered.

Post the code that you are having problems with.

This was the last thing I attempted.

>public class HolidayPoll{
 
public static void main(String args[]){
 
	int holidayVotes;
	int votes[] = new int [3]; //Array to hold 4 votes
	USA[0] = 56;
	Greece[1] = 45;
	Thailand[2] = 33;
	Italy[3] = 34;
 
arrayElement = Dialogs.integerInput("Which Holiday do you want to show?"};
	Dialogs.outputMessage("The amount of votes this Holiday has is: " + holidayVotes[arrayElement]);
 
	//print all element
	for (int i = 0; i < 0; i++{
			System.out.println("Holiday Votes (" + i +") is: + Holiday Votes[i});
	}
	System.out.println("No more holiday votes");
  }
}<

Like I said in my first post, I haven't done Java in a long time.

What are you questions?
Post the full text of any error messages here.


Please Edit your post and wrap your code with[code=java]<YOUR CODE HERE>[/code] to get highlighting

reread post #12.
Describe what you are trying to do in the code you posted.

Ok, what are the steps the program must take to accomplish that?

Now you need to define the steps the program must take to do the desired task.
For instance:
define an array to hold the count of answers for each question.

What's next?
