Solving a Programming Problem - Adam

[Pearce_09]

Programming problem!

hello,
This might be a simple answer, but I'm not sure because I am very un-familiar with programming.
also I am not sure if this can be answered (because I am not giving enough information)
__________________________________________________________
public static String[] findAndReplace( String[] in, String[] what, String[] with ) {

// Implement this method.

return null;

public static void main( String[] args ) {

displayStudentInfo();

String[] text;
text = new String[ 10 ];

text[ 0 ] = new String( "I" );
text[ 1 ] = new String( "have" );
text[ 2 ] = new String( "never" );
text[ 3 ] = new String( "let" );
text[ 4 ] = new String( "my" );
text[ 5 ] = new String( "schooling" );
text[ 6 ] = new String( "interfere" );
text[ 7 ] = new String( "with" );
text[ 8 ] = new String( "my" );
text[ 9 ] = new String( "education" );

String[] query;
query = new String[ 3 ];

query[ 0 ] = text[ 0 ];
query[ 1 ] = text[ 1 ];
query[ 2 ] = text[ 4 ];

String[] replacement;
replacement = new String[ 3 ];

replacement[ 0 ] = new String( "You" );
replacement[ 1 ] = new String( "should" );
replacement[ 2 ] = new String( "your" );

String[] result;
result = findAndReplace( text, query, replacement );

if ( result == null ) {
System.err.println( "findAndReplace should not return a null value" );
System.exit( 1 );
}
___________________________________

I am having trouble with my program right here, I don't know what I have to put so the programm will continue and not exit every time... Here is the rest of the program... its unfinished..

// We now know that result cannot be null

for ( int i=0; i<result.length; i++ ) {
if ( i > 0 ) {
System.out.print( " " );
}
System.out.print( result[ i ] );
}
System.out.println( "." );
}
}
_________________________________
my output needs to be "You should never let your schooling interfere with your education"... I just need help getting past the "System.exit(1)..
thank you for your time..

Is the code beginning with "for (int i = 0...)" supposed to follow the code "if ( result == null ) {..." or what?

'if' is meaningless, everything was so clear.

for ( int i=0; i<result.length; i++ ) {
if ( i > 0 ) {
System.out.print( " " );
}
System.out.print( result[ i ] );
}
System.out.println( "." );
}
}

if your program doesn't continue beyond the if(result==null) then it is the way you calculate "result" the string is null, your function is returning null..attempt to display before the iff statement...therefore always terminating..Looking back at that FindAndReplace Function...do you actually have implementation in the part that's comment //implementation?
if not then your returning null..therefore in the main it'll retreive a null.Also the if in the for is not meaningless.

 

[Pearce_09]

well, i guess.. I am sorry I am not sure what your saying..but thanks anyways

 

[NafiBear]

Also the if in the for is not meaningless.

i is always larger than 0;.

That is an interesting program, you can use one string holder to store the string, it might be better in this case.

2)About whether it is cross or not, I still don't know but its possibility is high(75%). Marriage and high reproductiveness are not signs to prove oneself not being cross.

 

[neurocomp2003]

NafiBear: i is equal to 0 on the initial run. It would have been better to leave it above the for loop and change the initial condition, i would agree with you.

Pearce: is there actuallyh code inside that function Find&Replace?

Of course there is,
You can just look at the source code, no algorithms flow, only objects are being instantiated. :-D
