Hey how are you guys doing?

im trying to convert this snipet of of pseudo code in java code.

String operand = ""
get char c from current position in string (pos)
if c isn't (, ), +,-,*,/, or ^ then check if c is a letter
if c is a letter, operand+=c
  increment current position
  get char c from current position in string
  while c is a letter or a digit
	operand+=c
	increment current position
	get char c from current position in string
  end while
operand now contains the characters which make up its name

here what i got so far

 //method to check multi-variable characters
public String getMultiVariables(char c){  
	String operand = "";
	int pos=0;
	if(c != '*' || c!='/'||c!='+' ||c!='-'||c!='('||c!=')'||c!='^')
	 if(Character.isLetter(c))	  
		operand +=c;
	   pos++;
	
	while(Character.isLetterOrDigit(c))
	{	  
		operand +=c;
		pos++;
	  }
		  
	return "unknown type";
} 

not working thou close

any help at all will be good

thanx

Here's a tip, actually write out some code and people will be much more likely to help you out

Anyway, I won't do the whole thing for you, but I can at least get you started in the right direction.

String operand =""
would be

String operand = "";

...that was a pretty easy translation, lol.

Most of the lines of this pseudo code pretty much tell you exactly what to do. If it says "while", then that is a hint to use a while loop and pretty the stated condition in the parenthesis. when it refers to "get char" that means you'll most likely want to use a string function to get the character at a specific index of a string.

Hope this helps! Put some effort into this and show us what you have done, then we will be more than happy to help correct anything or answer any questions.

I disagree with the previous statement. PseudoCode has it's place and if you're doing pseudocode then stay away from actual code, it will just screw you up in the end. However, since you have the pseudocode already, and no java code was posted we will need to see some code before helping you out. DIC has a policy in which we like to see a good faith effort on your part before we do any work on our end. Please edit your post and post your code between the code tags like this...




Cheers

[pbl]

if(c != '*' || c!='/'||c!='+' ||c!='-'||c!='('||c!=')'||c!='^')
	 if(Character.isLetter(c))	  

So if C is not * or / or + or - or .....
check if it is a letter

why don't you just check if is a letter ? If it is a letter if wont be * / + - .....

Or there is something I missing ?
