Thread: Need some minor help.

S = pWeight * 0.0714285714; }

this is the line with the error and its the semi colon. Tells me to insert } to complete the block but once i do, the same error is still there.
As for being correct I meant as in how the whole code looks with the methods if I added the {} correct.
When I try to compile it I get:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:
Syntax error, insert "}" to complete Block

Where or How am I still defining a method inside another method?
I also still get the insert a } on the same semicolon after moving a } to the next line.

Honestly Ive got no clue, when I say that Im new to this I mean this is the second thing I ever tried coding..

Yeah anything I do doesnt not work for me. I still get an error somewhere.

Its due tomorrow night so I got to figure this out. I understand that there has to be the same amount { as }. Which i just noticed im missing two } somewhere in this thing. Am I on the right track?

Ok I will try that. Now once I figure that out will my methods like this code be ok still or do I need to move them around more?

Does this read any better?
Declare constants
Declare variables
get input
method 1
method 2
perform conversion
display report

Sorry this is taking so long, Im a visual learner rather then just reading things.

I know i just wrote that as an example. My first method is //Integer.parse which at the end of the method or at least what i think is the end just before the return isValid. I have }//end Integer.parse.
As for the other method //ValidateInput, on the line following validInput(); i have }//end validateInput

Ok let me try a different approach to this one step at a time.
Could you tell me if my methods are correct, their separate. just the methods none of my conversion equations on here yet.

public class validateInput {
 
	//ValidateInput Method
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		int minRange = 0;
		int maxRange = 212;
 
		validInput (minRange, maxRange);
	}
 
	private static boolean validInput(int minRange, int maxRange) {
		boolean True = false;
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		boolean withinrange = True;
 
		int a = 0;
		if (a < minRange || a > maxRange);
		System.out.println("Out of Range");
		withinrange = false;
 
		return withinrange;
	}//End validateInput method
 
}//End main method

import java.util.Scanner;
public class integerparsetwo {
 
 
 
	//Integer parse Method
	public static boolean validInput(String[] args, String Inputnumber) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		int fTemp, fDist, pWeight;
		boolean isValid = true;
		boolean validInput = true;
 
 
		try {
			fTemp = Integer.parseInt(Inputnumber);
			fDist = Integer.parseInt(Inputnumber);
			pWeight = Integer.parseInt(Inputnumber);
 
		}
		catch (Exception ex) {
 
			System.out.println("The entered value is invalid");
			validInput  = false;
		}
		return validInput;
 
	}//End integerparse method
 
}//End main method

These are on two different classes just so I could write them out. So am I going on the right track so far and could proceed to putting in my conversions and then somehow joining the two classes to one project.
Oh and when I try to run either of them right now it just says Out of range like my println has in the validateinput method. But I cant enter any numbers as of right now.

the A comment is the ending of the method. the B comment is the end of the main which I thought I had to put. But all the { } are correct. I just found a video on how to do exactly what I needed and it works heres that code;

import java.util.*;
public class InputValidation {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		int value=-1;
		Scanner inputScanner = new Scanner(System.in);
		do {
			System.out.println("Enter a value (0-212); ");
			try {
				value = inputScanner.nextInt();
				if (value<0 || value>212) {
					System.out.println("Out of range");
				}
			}
			catch (Exception e) {
				System.out.println("This value is invalid.");
				inputScanner.next();
			}
		} while (value<0 || value>212);
		System.out.println("You entered " + value);
	}
	//Declare constants
	final double CS = (5.0 / 9);
	final double ME = 0.3048;
	final double KL = 0.4536;
 
	//Declare variables
	Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
	int fTemp, fDist, pWeight, number, guess = -1;
	double cTemp, mDist, kWeight, K, I, S;
 
	{		
	//Perform Conversions	
	cTemp = fTemp * CS;
	mDist = fDist * ME;
	kWeight = pWeight * KL;
	K = (fTemp + 459.67) * 5/9;
	I = fDist * 12;
	S = pWeight * 0.0714285714; 
 
	//Display Report
	System.out.println(fTemp  + " fahrenheit " + cTemp + " celsius "  + K + " Kelvin ");
	System.out.println(fDist  +  " feet "  + mDist + " meters " + I + " Inches ");
	System.out.println(pWeight + " pounds " + kWeight + " kilograms " + S + "Stones ");
}
}

Even has my extra credit in it. Ok Now all I have to do is get these in the correct order Im guessing so that it will convert the temps into the different variations of temps and so on and so forth. Am I looking to understand it now?

I did, Im just trying to configure them in the correct place to get it all working. Do I add the other information in the do loop or do I add them around the loop?

That would be the validate input part of pseudo code.

As for when it is executed, it does almost everything i need. If I enter 250 it states that it is out of range, if I enter abc it states that it is invalid, if I enter 212 it stops.
When I say almost everything I mean I need to be able to enter a temperature, distance and weight for it to then be validated.

So I have to figure out where to put my equations for the conversions in the loop?


So im guessing it would look something like this.
Enter a temperature, distance, weight- for the get input
the loop that validates the information entered
the calculations somewhere either in the loop or outside
and last the display report outside the loop?

Am I getting closer?

The loop is for extra credit.

So should I do something like the fahrenheit to celsius on one line and the fahrenheit to kelvin later on in the code?

Or put the conversion somehow about the loop?
