Thread: Help, please. I'm lost

So this is what I have so far

public class lab3 {
 
import java.util.Scanner;
 
/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
 
System.out.println(" ********************* ");
System.out.println(" * Math Questions * ");
System.out.println(" ********************* ");
System.out.println("");
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print(" Please enter an integer. ");
int int1 = in.nextInt();
System.out.print(" Please enter another integer. ");
int int2 = in.nextInt();
System.out.println("");
System.out.println(" Answer the following questions: ");
System.out.println("");
 
}
 
}

This is what I need my code to do-

Mibpaste.bin (click me!)

Any help would be appreciated, I'm just not sure what to do next


Thanks

Errors: ( Fix in this order )


#1: The

import java.util.Scanner;

Must go before the

 public class lab3 {

#2: In your bin sheet it uses the dash -, not the star *. Try editing.

System.out.println(" ********************* ");

into

System.out.println("----------------------");

on both of the ***.

Also, take the * before and after the Math Questions printout, so it is more accurately
copying what you want.


Help:
#1: You understand the System.outprintln(""); Idea, so for the first line that you want to

print out:
1. 5 * 3 = ?

Which is the first integer times the second integer, To put a variable in that, outside of

quotations you put the variable set to the number, in this case the first variable is int1,

when making another part inside a System.out.print(); method, you must add a plus

sign(+), than you want it to show the *, so you put quotation marks (Or tell it to type

something) * with a space before an after. than a plus sign again, and the second integer,

or int2. Note this doesn't have to be an integer. In the example:

class example {
 
  public static void main(String[] args) {
 
String teststring = "This will output on the screen.";
System.out.println(teststring);
}
}

It will put whatever teststring is set to, which in this case is "This will output on the screen."

it WILL require the "" in setting the variable because it puts exactly whats on teststring

into it.

So, following what I just told you, to put

1. 5 * 3 = ?
on the screen you need to put the following :

System.out.println("1. " + int1 + " * " + int2);

Note the "1. " to start it, this writes it like you want it too, given what you told me.

#2:
Now that it print that out, your going to want it too scan that, and see if it's write.
For this we usually would want a double, but the site linked did not have accuracy of a

double, so we are going to use an integer again.

Our next line will be:

answer = int1*int2;

Than since we want to scan the line:

int response = in.nextInt();

Now we are stuck in another problem: How do we make the program know if it's write or

wrong! It's time for an if statement!

We know conceptually that if the answer is int1*int2 it is correct, and if it does not equal

that, it is wrong.

An if statement, explained here:

if/else Statement | Example Depot

should have 2 numbers, compare, than contrast.

So if you read that guide well, than you should know the code for this is going to look

something like

if(answer==response)
{
System.out.println("Correct.");
}

But wait, when we get to the end of the code, it needs to tell you the percent correct!

There will be 3 questions, so we don't need a variable for that, but we need one for

amount of correct. So at the top of the program, after you began the program add.

int correct;

So it looks like

public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
  int correct = 0;

and than the rest of your program so far.

Than in your if statement, make

if(answer==response)
{
System.out.println("Correct.");
correct = correct+1;
}

But what if it's wrong?

Remember, it's an if-else statement, not just an if statement.

So we want

if(answer==response)
{
System.out.println("Correct.");
correct = correct+1;
}
else
{
System.out.println("Wrong!");
}

Use that method through the other 2 problems, (I will give the full program at the end);

#3:
Now we are done with those parts, but the last part where it should say:

You did OK.
You got 2 correct.
That's 66.66667%
(if you had two correct)

Than you should use a few more if statements.

So far we have :

import java.util.Scanner;
public class lab3 {
 
 
 
/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
  int correct = 0;
 
System.out.println(" ---------------------- ");
System.out.println("Math Questions");
System.out.println(" ---------------------- ");
System.out.println("");
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print(" Please enter an integer. ");
int int1 = in.nextInt();
System.out.print(" Please enter another integer. ");
int int2 = in.nextInt();
System.out.println("");
System.out.println(" Answer the following questions: ");
System.out.println("");
System.out.println("1. " + int1 + " * " + int2);
int response = in.nextInt();
int answer = int1*int2;
if(answer==response)
{
System.out.println("Correct.");
correct = correct+1;
}
else
{
System.out.println("Wrong!");
}
 
 
System.out.println("2. " + int1 + " / "  + int2);
answer = int1/int2;
 
 
if(answer==response) 
{
System.out.println("Correct.");
correct = correct+1;
}
else
{
System.out.println("Wrong!");
}
 
 
System.out.println("3. " + int1 + " % " + int2);
answer = int1%int2;
 
if(answer==response) 
{
System.out.println("Correct.");
correct = correct+1;
}
else
{
System.out.println("Wrong!");
}
 
 
 
 
 
}
 
}

if you have followed what I said.

Now for the last part


So, first of we need a String for how well you did (bad ok perfect), and a double for the %

correct, because we already have the amount correct.

So, to get the ok, lets add a new string after all that we have, with that if statement!
Of course, we are going to need 3 of them. ( if 0, than terrible, 1, than bad, if 2 than ok, if

3 than perfect). And we are going to need to initialize the statement before the ifs, by

adding

String well = "perfect.";

 
String well = "OK";
if(correct==0)
{
well = "very bad.";
}
if(correct==1)
{
well = "poorly.";
}
if(correct==2)
{
well = "OK.";
}

3 is a special scenario, so we'll put that in with an if statements.

Note the periods and exclamationpoints, they are vital!

And now for the % correct, this one is simple, again using if statements.

double percentcorrect = 100;
if(correct==0)
{
  percentcorrect = 0.0;
}
if(correct==1)
{
  percentcorrect = 33.33334;
}
if(correct==2)
{
  percentcorrect = 66.66667;
}

And that's all we need for the end.

Now just implement the System.out.println(); and we have the program and the if

statement for the 3 correct and were done!

(If you don't know how add

if(correct!=3)
{
System.out.println("You did " + well);
System.out.println("You got " + correct + " correct.");
System.out.println("That's " + percentcorrect + "%");
}
else
{
System.out.println("You did " + well);
System.out.println("Good job!");
System.out.println("That's " + percentcorrect + "%");

)
And here is our finished program!

import java.util.Scanner;
public class lab3 {
 
 
 
/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
  int correct = 0;
 
System.out.println(" ---------------------- ");
System.out.println("Math Questions");
System.out.println(" ---------------------- ");
System.out.println("");
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print(" Please enter an integer. ");
int int1 = in.nextInt();
System.out.print(" Please enter another integer. ");
int int2 = in.nextInt();
System.out.println("");
System.out.println(" Answer the following questions: ");
System.out.println("");
System.out.println("1. " + int1 + " * " + int2 + " = ?");
int response = in.nextInt();
int answer = int1*int2;
if(answer==response)
{
System.out.println("Correct.");
correct = correct+1;
System.out.println("");
}
else
{
System.out.println("Wrong!");
System.out.println("");
}
 
 
System.out.println("2. " + int1 + " / "  + int2 + " = ?");
answer = int1/int2;
response=in.nextInt();
 
 
if(answer==response) 
{
System.out.println("Correct.");
correct = correct+1;
System.out.println("");
}
else
{
System.out.println("Wrong!");
System.out.println("");
}
 
 
System.out.println("3. " + int1 + " % " + int2 + " = ?");
response = in.nextInt();
answer = int1%int2;
 
if(answer==response) 
{
System.out.println("Correct.");
correct = correct+1;
System.out.println("");
}
else
{
System.out.println("Wrong!");
System.out.println("");
}
 
 
String well = "perfect.";
if(correct==0)
{
well = "terrible.";
}
if(correct==1)
{
well = "bad.";
}
if(correct==2)
{
well = "OK.";
}
double percentcorrect = 100;
if(correct==0)
{
  percentcorrect = 0.0;
}
if(correct==1)
{
  percentcorrect = 33.33334;
}
if(correct==2)
{
  percentcorrect = 66.66667;
}
 
 
 
if(correct!=3)
{
System.out.println("You did " + well);
System.out.println("You got " + correct + " correct.");
System.out.println("That's " + percentcorrect + "%");
}
else
{
System.out.println("Good job!");
System.out.println("You got 3 correct.");
System.out.println("That's " + percentcorrect + "%");
}
 
 
 
}
 
}

NOTE::

I know there is a better way for the part where you get 66.66667 if 2 are correct, but I tend to get loss of precision when I do 3/2, so instead of adding Bigdecimals and confusing things, this will do for this program. Might want to look into that though, because your teacher might not like this way.

All variable names you can change to your will!
Please READ IT ALL, do not just copy the end code, if you see errors (which I'm sure it has it's fill), or thought of a better way to do it, say so, I'm learning to
