The code is attached in the zip file. i included the methods in one and in the other i am calling the methods from the main file.

book newGetAuthorCount = new book();
newGetAuthorCount.getAuthorCount();
}
}


So the problem is not necessarily it running properly, but making sure i am using the methods the right way.. for example, i don't know how to exactly implement the get or set methods and did this based on what i understood from my boook and from online videos on youtube. let me know my mistakes and what the heck to do.. once i implement the methods for my var(s) i have to call them using the main function with a GUI using java. Any help would be appreciated. Been working on this sh** for a while.. as you can see it's 2:20 and am still working on it!

so now my only issues are: getting the damn getAuthorCount to work properly because it's not, for some reason...thought not sure why (i've tried many ways including boolean and it don't work). Also, the next things would be to create a search function and to make sure that it updates it self and to create an array of book [100}. If anyone can help, it'd be nice. Thank you guys.

In the future, please properly indent your code as well. It is hard for me to follow the logic of your code.

As for your problem, you are testing while(author1 != null), without modifying the condition inside the loop so it becomes false. Each author variable will always be set or null- so this creates an infinite loop and will cause overflow in your count variable (meaning that the count will exceed the maximum value for int and start back over at Integer.MIN_VALUE). I think if statements would be more appropriate than loops here.

int getAuthorCount() 
{ 
while (author1!=null) 
{ 
authorCount++; 
} 
if (author2!=null) 
{ 
authorCount++; 
} 
else if (author3!=null) 
{ 
authorCount++; 
} 
else if (author4!=null) 
{ 
authorCount++; 
}

Right, but how would you fix it? that's just the same code i gave earlier

[macosxnerd101]

Code tags are for code, not questions.

I think I gave you some suggestions if you re-read my post. Yes- I'm well aware that I did not modify your code. I believe you have enough information to solve the problem now.

[_marlon]

i am not sure what you mean with what you typed? i corrected the other code and now it works properly, minus the method authorCount. now i just need to create an array and try date inside for it. as part c on the sheet says. If anyone is able to help in figuring out how to create an array for this class and create a search option, that would be nice.. Thank you guys.

The reason your authorCount() method isn't working is b/c it modifies the authorCount instance variable on each invocation. So on the first invocation, authorCount is incremented by up to 4 from the value you set it to. On the second invocation, it is incremented by up to 4 again. So rather than recalculating the number of authors each time the method is called, why don't you just return the instance variable authorCount (I didn't realize you had a setter method for authorCount, so that changes things)?

As for working with arrays, you should check out the Java Tutorials section. TriggaMike has a good tutorial on arrays.

Also, please do properly indent your code. You can easily download the JIndent plugin for NetBeans that will format your code for you. Right now, I can't easily follow your code. If you want us to help you, please help us by indenting your code.

Okay, i will get to it during my lunch... passed out trying to work on it yesterday night. I will also download the plug in.. reason i don't have the indent thing properly is that i am using jgrasp and am not familiar with netbeans... but i will download and fix. i will also look at the video. thank again, will keep you posted.

Regardless of what IDE you are using, I'm sure you at least know how to use the space bar and tab key to indent your code.

[Syed Faraz]

Nice code though

I do, most of this stuff is aligned. I aligned it my self... though am not sure how far i am suppose to indent certain things. either way, i'm downloading net-beans right now and the plug in as well as reading the array tutorial... Though, my author count does not work as i expect it too, yet, this program will also save other peoples but once i'm done with it! Either way, i do appreciate your help as well as everyone else's contribution(s). So, for those that are contributing, thank you.
