There's no such thing as an error, only a bug. The program reflects the capability of the coder, and if you spend enough time planning, you... make... bulletproof code.
yea: if (dangerous == true){threadhandler.thread[3].run=false;}
edit: I meant process thread (for the bulletproof example), not forum.

1) That comment has no relevance to my comment as far as i can see.
2) You can't EVER write "bulletproof" code per my "bulletproof". KYA has a decent blog post called "all software sucks", i quite agree with him.
3) I can't say that code looks all that bullet proof or not. there is not context that I can see so I have no way to assert it's validity. The magic number '3' seems odd too, just throwing that out there.
4) maybe you were trying to be funny but I didn't get it. sorry

1) I was quoting you: I feel the same way. I added because I'm not exactly you.
2) There is bulletproof code, ever used a remote control for a CRT TV? (okay, hardware, but it's still logic, programmed once)
3) I was making an example of what too many people overlook: the common IF-ELSE
4) I was being tired with grammar bad and posting quick unthought ahead.

Same here, I enjoy the idea that I've just made someone's life a little easier (or harder if I did a boo boo :< ). There's something God-like about watching something you've coded ticking away doing what you told it to.
DAM RIGHT YOU JUST UPDATED AUTOMATICALLY! YEAAAHHHHHHH!

Take one computer running you "bullet-proof" code.
Take one loaded gun
Aim gun at computer
Pull trigger.
Was it bullet-proof?

in what ways are you practicing your java??
[/quote]
I've been doing some programming through my uni, where Java modules are compulsory for my degree. On the top of that I got myself the book from Deitel 9h edition and going through every single exercise in there. On the top of that I'm trying to think of situations, where simple applications could come handy and picking up the ideas from the other thread of project ideas. My practising is just writing a lot of simple and less simple programs using both netbeans and notepad + cmd. My approach is simplistic but it works for me especially that there's an exam coming in June.

I was also stubborn. I hated the textpad crap IDE they kept pushing on us, so I used notepad and the java compiler to help debug my programs. It can be a pain, but you will pick up the syntax very quickly!
However, make sure your checking for logic errors. Those tend to be the ones that creep in later in your programming education.
I was also well prepared for my Java exam. (which was pretty tough for an intro class and covered mostly syntax).
BUT late ron you will find that an IDE can help you debug a program faster or without even have to compile it to figure out where it is failing.
Notepadd++ is the one I recommend for Windows. I may be shot for this, but emacs is pretty good on a linux machine
Acutually, I sort of like gedit better.
