How do I return the current number of trades(number) from an array?
This is what I have so far.
I am just stuck on my method int numTrades(), I have to return the current number of trades from the array.
//Fields double lastPChange; double dailyPrices[]; int numberOfDaysWithData; public void addTrade(double price) { dailyPrices[numberOfDaysWithData] = price; numberOfDaysWithData = numberOfDaysWithData + 1; this.numberOfDaysWithData++; lastPChange = (numberOfDaysWithData - 2); } public void numTrades() { dailyPrices[numberOfDaysWithData] return; }

You need to change the definition of numTrades() to show that it returns a value:public THEDATATYPE numTrades() {
Change THEDATATYPE to be the type of data that the method returns, like String or double or int;
Change the return statement to include the variable whose value is to be returned.
See the tutorial: Returning a Value from a Method (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Classes and Objects)

Thank you !
This is what my code look likes now.
What is the difference between using this.numberOfDaysWithData and numberOfDaysWithData?
I know "this" refers to the object of the method.
It would make since if i used this.numberOfDaysWithData to return the numTrades, right?
public void addTrade(double price) { dailyPrices[numberOfDaysWithData] = price; numberOfDaysWithData = numberOfDaysWithData + 1; this.numberOfDaysWithData++; lastPChange = (numberOfDaysWithData - 2); } public int numTrades() { return this.numberOfDaysWithData; }
Re: How do I return the current number of trades(number) from an array?
If there is NOT a local variable or arg named: numberOfDaysWithData then the this is redundant/not needed. If there is a local variable with the same name, then the this would use the class level variable vs the local one.What is the difference between using this.numberOfDaysWithData and numberOfDaysWithData

One more question, I have no idea what my professor is talking about with our last method.
void checkBreakerAndPrint()
basically it checks the breaker condition for the last added trade and if the breaker trips with a 10% or more change up or down
What is my professor talking about?
