Thread: Area calculator.

What am I missing? There is no errors in the actual script, but when I run it it just says successful and isn't asking for variables. What am I missing?

I'm using textpad, and just copy/pasting the code it runs perfectly. It asks for variables, it didn't display anything, as helloworld pointed out, but it does ask for the variables. What are you using to compile/run?

I am using NetBeans.

Also, I have hit run>mainproject> and set it to area which is the program im trying to run

Unfortunately, I don't know anything about NetBeans, but the code works perfectly, no errors. The only thing is it doesn't display the numbers it computes, but it does asks for the variables and computes them, had to be an error in terms of either your computer or a glitch in the program, as the code is fine.

The only thing I have seen is build and run.... I have built it but it didn't change the results for me.

If you have a new question, please start a new thread so that searching a forum is more useful. Post the related code and your instructions to make it easy to understand. Finally be sure to ask a question specifically about what problem you have. The first step in solving any problem is understanding the problem to be solved. Then you need to decide how to solve it without worrying about code. When ever you get stuck you will have a good question to ask by default.
