Thread: Homework help plz!!!

I'm doing an assignment that has multiple classes that inherit from one another. That part I get, and the majority of my code is correct as I spoke to my prof and went over what I had at the time. The problem I'm having now is making sure the code I'm adding to is correct according to what she's asking for.

public class CreditStudent extends Student {
 
//(These are the instructions) override totalCredits so that only credits from classes the student passed are counted
 
@Override
    public int totalCredits() {
        int j = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < firstEmpty; i++) {
            Student S1 = new Student();
          j += S1.Course[i].getCredits();  
        } 
      return j;
    }

I want to make sure that my code says that only the credits the student has taken are being counted...am I missing something? If so, what am I missing...thanks in advance!

no the output isn't missing...I don't think anyway...I just wanted to make sure that the IDEA behind the coding is correct lol...I like to plan ahead you know lol

The IDEA of the code is to override totalCredits so that only credits from classes the student passed are counted...I think I need an if statement since it's a conditional right? I already have my instance var for all the other stuff from the other Classes needed

I think that's what we need to figure out lol...I have the all the other classes since the basis of the lesson is inheritance and how they work and what not. I have my passed method in another class but it's not the one that's inherited to this class...because those are the instructions she stipulated am I making sense? Because if you really need me to, than I'll of course POST all the classes and ALL the code that I have for the assignment

Ok...I'll consider and work through the questions you asked...maybe that will help I can certainly leave as is and when I run the file see what happens...Thx for your help Norm
