Can someone please help me translate this c++ code to Java. Below the C++ code, is my Java code that I have so far. Thanks in advance :-)
C++ code:

 
    #include <string>  
    #include <iostream>  
    using namespace std;  
      
    string numberToBarcode(int);

        int num1, num2, num3, num4, num5, checkNum;  
        int tempNum;  
        int checkTotal;  
        string barcode = "|";   // initialized with a front framing bar  
      
        cout << "Please enter a 5 digit zip code.\n"  
            << " --> ";  
        cin >> zip; // prompt for zip code  
      
        // check if valid zip code  
        if (zip >= 100000 || zip < 0) {  
            cout << "Error: Not a zip code.\n";  
            return 0;  
        }  
      
        tempNum = zip;  
        //parsing each digit to determine check value  
        // the parsing is done in reverse order, so the digits are stored in reverse order

Why did you use different variable names in Java and not using C++ ones. It make everything more confusing.
Why complicating your life soo much ?
Redo your exercise using the same variable names and I'll be glad to check/validate

Your Java code does not even compile. Is it what you have a problem with ?

tempNum = zip;

may be

tempNum = zip.nextInt();

Im mainly having problems with this part:

string numberToBarcode(int);  

barcode += numberToBarcode(num1); 
045	    barcode += numberToBarcode(num2); 
046	    barcode += numberToBarcode(num3); 
047	    barcode += numberToBarcode(num4); 
048	    barcode += numberToBarcode(num5); 
049	   
050	    barcode += numberToBarcode(checkNum);  

[pbl]

Which type of problem ?
As your code won't even compile it would be a compilation problem
Is your problem in the method invocation or in the methnod itself ?
I hate it when, to fix someone problem we have, to beg for informations

I'm sorry... I am not sure why you are upset. I just need help translated the code into Java that's it. The specific part I am having problems with above is the exact part that I am stuck on. I am not sure how to translate that into Java, because I believe that part in the C++ code is using a custom function called numberToBarcode(), and in Java i've read you cannot create custom functions but theyre methods instead. I need helping turning that function into a method so i can continue with the rest of the code.

[pbl]

I am not upset. A bit frustated
As your code does not even compile, don't you think it would be a good idea to show us these compile error(s) ?

[avbFan07]

I do not have any errors because I have not finished writing the code, that's why I need help, Im unsure what next to put because I do not know how to translate the part into Java.

C++ code I am stuck on:

barcode += numberToBarcode(num1);  
    barcode += numberToBarcode(num2);  
    barcode += numberToBarcode(num3);  
    barcode += numberToBarcode(num4);  
    barcode += numberToBarcode(num5);  
  
    barcode += numberToBarcode(checkNum);  

[pbl]

that should work, without any modification in Java

How though? Java does not know what "string numberToBarcode(int); " is?

[pbl]

and C++ does have a standard libray function named: numberToBarcode(int) ?

c'mon man theres no need for sarcasm, im fairly new to java and i've never done c++. I can see here "string numberToBarcode(int); " that that's where the function is created, but in thought that in java you cannot do that (create a custom function) but instead make a method. That is what I attempted to do above, it is incorrect, that is where I need help. Please.

[pbl]

What I am saying is that your C++ code must have a function named numberToBarcode(int)
that you will also have to translate to Java

[Achri]

To change your C++ function over to Java, I would basically copy it all into your Java class, below your main method.

Then I would convert

string numberToBarcode(int num)
{ ... Do something }

into

public static String numberToBarcode(int num)
{...Do something}

I very quickly looked over the C++ function. So I would just see what other errors there are from that and fix them.
