Thread: Help with Java work...again.

//The purpose of this program is to compute average values, minimum values, and
//maximum values for the GPAs (grade point averages) of college students.
//Certain quantities are computed according to the living groups in which
//the students reside, and other quantities are overall values.

I would post the whole thing but you do have to read a little. Here is a link to assignment.

The problem I am getting is the,
';'expected.

It occurs on this line of code
=========================================
double overallMinGPA 0.0, overallMaxGPA = 0.0;
=========================================

The funny thing is that when I go through my code everything is correct in its format, so I have decided to let a fresh pair of eyes look at it to see any obvious mistakes.

FYI it is not completely done, but I think it still should compile.

Code:

//The purpose of this program is to compute average values, minimum values, and
//maximum values for the GPAs (grade point averages) of college students. 
//Certain quantities are computed according to the living groups in which
//the students reside, and other quantities are overall values.

    double minGPA = 0.0, maxGPA = 4.0;
    int numGroup = 0, numTotal = 0;

    while(scan.hasNext())
    {
      livingGroup = scan.nextLine();
      System.out.println("Living group: " + livingGroup);
      
      double stuGPA = 0.0, groupGPA = 0.0, overallGPA = 0.0; 
      double maxGroupGPA = 0.0, minGroupGPA = 0.0;
      double overallMinGPA 0.0, overallMaxGPA = 0.0;
      String stuName = "";
      stuName = scan.next();
      While(!stuName.equals(SENTINEL))
      {
        if(scan.hasNextDouble())
        {
          stuGPA = scan.nextDouble();
          if(stuGPA < minGPA || stuGPA > maxGPA)

Heh... Not sure you want me to point this one out to you........

Take a nice long look at that first variable declaration and tell me what you are missing.








=========================================
double overallMinGPA 0.0, overallMaxGPA = 0.0;
=========================================

Should Be:
=========================================
double overallMinGPA = 0.0, overallMaxGPA = 0.0;
=========================================

Ok ok you win, that was a really dumb mistatke.
Now I am getting the same error on another line.

if this code is too hard to see click on thumbnail below.

Click on "full size" for best view.

<cough cough> java is case sensitive <cough>

While != while

Will you stop cheating?

Ok man I'm not cheating, Im just asking for some new eyes to look at my code to see things that I am obviously not seeing.

If I were cheating I would ask, "can someone show me how to do this" or something to that nature.

I just want to get all these little trivial mistakes out of the way.


P.S.Thanks for the help guys, I'm done with this crap.^^

The worst part...

I don't program java. Never liked it and I've never written one program in java. I'm a .NET man myself.

Java is so much better than VB and C# though ...

Don't MAKE me crawl all up in this computer here and kick some ass.

I've always said though that those that don't like .NET have never really dug into it and used it for any length of time. I hated it when I started. And I've seen many other converts over the years.

I prefer C++ :P
