This is my original code that i have to re-write to use a vector. I feel a little overwhelmed... i almost don't know what i'm doing.

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

public class CodeDetection_comment
{
	static final int maxCodeSize = 250;

	public static void main (String[] args) throws
										FileNotFoundException
	{
		int[] codeArray = new int[maxCodeSize];
		int	codeLength;


		Scanner codeFile = new Scanner
					  (new FileReader("SecretCode.txt"));

		PrintWriter outFile =
					new PrintWriter("SecretCodeOut.txt");

		codeLength = codeFile.nextInt();

		if (codeLength <= maxCodeSize)
		{
			readCode(codeFile, codeArray, codeLength);
			compareCode(codeFile, outFile, codeArray,
						codeLength);
		}
		else
		   System.out.println("Length of the secret code "
							+ "must be <= " + maxCodeSize);

		codeFile.close();
		outFile.close();
	}

	public static void readCode(Scanner inFile, int[] list,
								int length)
	{
		int count;

		for (count = 0; count < length; count++)
			list[count] = inFile.nextInt();
	}

	public static void compareCode(Scanner inFile,
								   PrintWriter outP,
								   int[] list, int length)
	{

		int length2;
		int digit;
		boolean codeOk;
		int count;

		codeOk = true;

		length2 = inFile.nextInt();

		if (length != length2)
		{
			System.out.println("The original code and "
 							 + "its copy are not of "
 							 + "the same length.");
	 		return;
		}

		outP.println("Code Digit   Code Digit "
				  +  "Copy");

		for (count = 0; count < length; count++)
		{
			digit = inFile.nextInt();

			outP.printf("%5d %15d",
						list[count], digit);

			if (digit != list[count])
			{
				outP.println("  corresponding code "
						   + "digits not the same");
				codeOk = false;
			}
			else
				outP.println();
		}

		if (codeOk)
			outP.println("Message transmitted OK.");
		else
			outP.println("Error in transmission. "
					  + "Retransmit!!");
	}
} 

And this is what i have so far(not much):

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

public class arrayhw
{
	static final int maxCodeSize = 250;

	public static void main (String[] args) throws
										FileNotFoundException
	{
		Vector<float> codeVector = new Vector<float>();
		int	codeLength;


		Scanner codeFile = new Scanner
					  (new FileReader("SecretCode.txt"));

		PrintWriter outFile =
					new PrintWriter("SecretCodeOut.txt");

		codeLength = codeFile.nextInt();

		if (codeLength <= maxCodeSize)
		{
			readCode(codeFile, codeVector, codeLength);
			compareCode(codeFile, outFile, codeArray,
						codeLength);
		}
		else
		   System.out.println("Length of the secret code "
							+ "must be <= " + maxCodeSize);

		codeFile.close();
		outFile.close();
	}

	public static void readCode(Scanner inFile, ,
								int length)
	{
		int count;

		for (count = 0; count < length; count++)
			list[count] = inFile.nextInt();
	}

	public static void compareCode(Scanner inFile,
								   PrintWriter outP,
								   int[] list, int length)
	{

		int length2;
		int digit;
		boolean codeOk;
		int count;

		codeOk = true;

		length2 = inFile.nextInt();

		if (length != length2)
		{
			System.out.println("The original code and "
 							 + "its copy are not of "
 							 + "the same length.");
	 		return;
		}

		outP.println("Code Digit   Code Digit "
				  +  "Copy");

		for (count = 0; count < length; count++)
		{
			digit = inFile.nextInt();

			outP.printf("%5d %15d",
						list[count], digit);

			if (digit != list[count])
			{
				outP.println("  corresponding code "
						   + "digits not the same");
				codeOk = false;
			}
			else
				outP.println();
		}

		if (codeOk)
			outP.println("Message transmitted OK.");
		else
			outP.println("Error in transmission. "
					  + "Retransmit!!");
	}
}

is this something that i can just change a few things around with? or am i going to have to rewrite a lot of this code?

the main things that are really hurting me are the method calls.... it uses some kind of array thing as parameters, and i'm just not really sure what that means or how i should replace it with a vector type thing...

sorry for posting so much code. any help would be immensely appreciated.

can anyone tell me at least if i'm on the right track?

if the array you want to replace is list[] you are on the wrong track
list is an array of int
and your codeVector is a Vector of float

[deb4te]

right, i haven't done anything to that area yet.. but i have to figure out what to replace as a parameter, one of them is left blank... i'm wondering if there's something i can use there as a parameter instead, or if i have to do something completely different?

just pass the Vector as parameter as you used to pass they array

public static void readCode(Scanner inFile, codeVector , int length)

by the way the lenght parameter might have been usefull for the array because the array was not full
fior the Vector no need for that the method can call vector.size() to know the nnumber of elements in the Vector

[deb4te]

this is my new code.... i think this is how i do it..

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

public class arrayhw
{
	static final int maxCodeSize = 250;

	public static void main (String[] args) throws
										FileNotFoundException
	{
		Vector<float> codeVector = new Vector<float>();
		int	codeLength;


		Scanner codeFile = new Scanner
					  (new FileReader("SecretCode.txt"));

		PrintWriter outFile =
					new PrintWriter("SecretCodeOut.txt");

		codeLength = codeFile.nextInt();

		if (codeLength <= maxCodeSize)
		{
			readCode(codeFile, codeVector, codeLength);
			compareCode(codeFile, outFile, codeVector,
						codeLength);
		}
		else
		   System.out.println("Length of the secret code "
							+ "must be <= " + maxCodeSize);

		codeFile.close();
		outFile.close();
	}

	public static void readCode(Scanner inFile, codeVector, int length)
	{
		int count;

		for (count = 0; count < length; count++)
			codeVector.elementAt(int count) = inFile.nextInt();
	}

	public static void compareCode(Scanner inFile,
								   PrintWriter outP,
								   codeVector, int length)
	{

		int length2;
		int digit;
		boolean codeOk;
		int count;

		codeOk = true;

		length2 = inFile.nextInt();

		if (length != length2)
		{
			System.out.println("The original code and "
 							 + "its copy are not of "
 							 + "the same length.");
	 		return;
		}

		outP.println("Code Digit   Code Digit "
				  +  "Copy");

		for (count = 0; count < length; count++)
		{
			digit = inFile.nextInt();

			outP.printf("%5d %15d",
						codeVector.elementAt(count), digit);

			if (digit != codeVector.elementAt(count))
			{
				outP.println("  corresponding code "
						   + "digits not the same");
				codeOk = false;
			}
			else
				outP.println();
		}

		if (codeOk)
			outP.println("Message transmitted OK.");
		else
			outP.println("Error in transmission. "
					  + "Retransmit!!");
	}
}
 

however i do get an <identifier> expected error, and it highlights this:

public static void readCode(Scanner inFile, codeVector, int length)

i'm not sure what i could be doing wrong?

[pbl]

You will have to identify the type of your parameter

public static void readCode(Scanner inFile, codeVector, int length)

public static void readCode(Scanner inFile, Vector<float> codeVector, int length)

but as I have already mentionned, you replaced an array of int by a Vector of float... not sure it is a good idea
should be a Vector of int

[deb4te]

unfortunately part of my assignment is to have it be of the float type... thank you though!!

[deb4te]

i have a feeling this isn't set up right...
i get a unexpected type error

public static void readCode(Scanner inFile, Vector<float> codeVector, int length)

You need to use the Float class type, instead of the simple data type float. Vectors, like ArrayLists and other Collections in Java, can only hold Objects.

[deb4te]

JUST got that as you posted... thank you so much... my main problem now is that i'm getting the same thing for this line

codeVector.elementAt(count) = inFile.nextInt();

[deb4te]

also... i changed the vector type to integer just to get this to work for now.
