I'm am trying to place 10 people around two tables of 5 at each table randomly which i need help to get this program running. it does not allow me to javac the program because there is an error in the code which i don't know.can someone help me to get this program to run? i am new to java and still don't understand all aspect at this point. i don't know what the errors is or what to do.

From a quick look at your code -

1. Line 6 you have a semi-colon in the middle
2. In Java Strings have to have a capital 'S' - String not string
3. Line 7 you are trying to put a 2d array into a 1d array
4. Line 23 and 27 you use square brackets to denote locations in arrays - [2][person[i]]
5. Line 32 and 33 persons does not exist. Plus that will not work out like you thing it will anyways.

If you don't know what I'm talking about then I suggest you go back and learn the principlies of arrays before you try and make a program using them.

Good luck.

You should know by now to post your errors, copied and pasted into your posts. We shouldn't have to beta test your code to help you.

I have fixed line 6 and also changed the string to Capital and also changed line 23 and 27. it is still showing errors in line 23 and 27 due to the brackets

i am trying to put 10 people around two table in randomly which at the moment i don't know how to get this working. i also don't know how to fix these errors.

[pbl]

these 2 statements are not valid Java statements.

    string [] ; person = new int[10];
    string [] table = new int[2][5];

What are you trying to achieve ?

That is a very high level description already described in your first topic.

Now back to these 2 statements.
First String is String not string
the ; goes to the end of a statement
if person is a String array it can't be new int[10]. You can't store int in String
If table is a Straing array you can't store a int[][] into it

Two tables, 5 seats each = 10 seats total, filled randomly with 10 people. It doesn't seem that hard.

Without posting any code, describe how you're trying to randomly fill the 10 seats.

i don't know how to do this. this is the code so far what i think . i believe there are some errors which i don't know what to do. i am a new leaner to java so i don't fully understand everything at the moment. could you help me please. at this point it don't know if I'm doing it correct

If you are a beginner in Java don't start with array
We told you at least 3 times that is String not string
We told you at least twice that you cannot put int[][ into String
We told you that the ; in the middle of a stement is not valid syntax

Here to let you start as you don't seem to read our posts

public static void main(String[] args) {

   String[] person = new String[10];
   for(int i = 0; i < person.length; ++i) {
     person[i] = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"Enter FullName");
   }

   System.out.println("The " + person.length + " are: ");
   for(int i = 0; i < person.length; ++i)
     System.out.println(i + ") " + person[i]);
}

In java a string is declared as String, read the earlier posts. You cannot store an int in to a String array, it has to be a string. Also why don't you just run a loop asking for full names, until the loop hits the end of the array? Then once the array is full, just randomly place people at random spots. If I am understanding your original problem correctly.
