    Default Translate code

    I need this code translated into English. The question is to write this code like u r explaining it, line by line. Exactly what is going on in each line


    I don't know to much so if u go line by line exactly what's happening I'd really appreciate it!

    Thanks

    Import csl.Keyboard;

    Public static void main (String[] args)
    {
    Final int NUMCHARS = 26;
    Int[] upper = new int[NUMCHARS];
    Int[] lower = new int[NUMCHARS];

    Char current;
    Int other = 0;

    System.out.println ("Enter a sentence:");

    What are your questions about the code that was posted?
    What parts are not "English"? All java's keywords are English.

    What happens when you compile and execute the code?

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:
    [code=java]
    YOUR CODE HERE
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    }
     
    System.out.println ();
    System.out.println ("Non-alphabetic characters: " + other);
    }
    }






    I need to say what each line of the code does. Line by line, what does each line do

    --- Update ---

    And ignore the Capitol letters at the start of the lines. They should be lower case

    Default Re: Translate code

    Have you tried to compile and execute the program to see what it prints out when it executes? That will help you understand what the code is doing.

    If you need further explanation of what each statement does, add a println() statement after every assignment statement that shows what was assigned to the variable. For example:
      int x = 20*5/3;      // assign a value to x
      System.out.println("x="+x);   // show value of x


    BTW the code needs formatting. Most of the statements need to be indented to show the nesting logic.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Why don't you comment the code first, and then ask us whether we agree with your comments?

    I've ran the program
    Can you post the version that will compile and execute. What is posted won't compile.
    Also add the println statements that I suggested be added in post#6.

    Then compile and execute the program and copy what it prints out and paste it here.

    If you want any more here, do as I suggested in post#9. If you can't fix the program and compile it today, it's ok if you take whatever time you need to do it.

    Waiting for the corrected code and its output.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
