You made an effort. You even thought about it some and made changes. That's good.

Here's the method as it should be:

    private String getRelationToPar( int score )
    {
        // calculate the difference between score and par
        int difference = par - score;

        // initialize a string for the result
        String relation = "";
        
        // score and par are the same
        if ( difference == 0 )
        {
            relation += "Same as par";
        }
        // the score is less than par
        else if ( difference > 0 )
        {
            relation += difference + " under par.";
        }
        // the score is greater than par
        else
        {
            relation += Math.abs( difference ) + " over par.";
        }
        
        return relation;

    } // end method getRelationToPar()

Read this method. Ask questions about what you don't understand. Paste it into your GolfScore() method. You tell me what's next.

What is math.abs? And next isn't there one more method and if so can you just give it to me so we can be done and just explain it.Or we have to go call the methods in the client. haha

[GregBrannon]

Math.abs() is the method abs() in Java's Math class that returns an absolute value. You could easily find how to do these kind of things in Java by Googling, in this case Google "java absolute value" and an answer that points you to this solution will be in the top 2 or 3 results.

Yes, I've had enough. I'm not sure that you've learned anything or that dragging you kicking and screaming through writing more code will teach you anything. I suggest you reconsider whether you should be in a programming class at all or if you've given the class the effort required to gain any benefit from it.

Here's a completed class GolfScore (some of the names have changed because I've been using two versions of everything. Just copy and paste this over your existing code). See if it all runs together, let me know if you have any questions or discover errors or problems that I can help you with.

Thank you i will read this all over now in my client calculateGameResults and getRelationToPar are underlined beacuse i am calling them from golf score but they are privates not publics should i change it to public.

[GregBrannon]

What I just gave you should BE the class GolfScore. There shouldn't be any squigglies. Please verify that the code I gave you is now your GolfScore. If you changed it, send back the updated version to me so that I can see what you've done to it.

    } // end method outputResults()

}

Thank you i will read this all over now in my client calculateGameResults and getRelationToPar are underlined beacuse i am calling them from golf score but they are privates not publics should i change it to public.

This is the error i get when i go to run it:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems:
The method calculateGameResults() from the type GolfScore is not visible
The method getRelationToPar(int) in the type GolfScore is not applicable for the arguments ()

You set your method private

private void calculateGameResults()

and to be accessed outside that class it should be public.

getRelationToPar(int score) must pass int when called, and you call without passing anything

myGolfScore.getRelationToPar();

Lines 39 - 44 don't belong in the client. Delete them.

Then try running and let me know what happens.

Okay soooo close for the fourth output i get 0 instead of 6?

[GregBrannon]

Somehow, the following lines got left off of the client. Insert the lines at the end of the for loop, starting at line 39.

            // tally the holes won by each player
            myGolfScore.tallyHolesWon( playerA, playerB );
