All that whitespace will surely be fine, right?

I have to work with a DB that uses whitespaces instead of null..sometimes.... it's killing me inside.

What program is that running in? in IDLE mines doesn't look like that

The editor looks a lot like the default Sublime Text 2 or 3 theme to me. Which is just an editor and not a whole IDE but I believe you can install plugins/compilers with Sublime to make it closer to an IDE.

Guys I'm a beginner calm down, will take your response though, thanks guys.

It was only some quick work, wasn't some hard graft.

I just copied and pasted it, didn't sort it all out, I'll come to you as my main man if you want me to @Yiggles, considering you're the brains of the clan, well Id rather prefer you thab anyone else.

Yeah yiggles I meant C++, been a while since I've used it.

Also thanks Charlie for your work time to steal it gg, jkjk.

I am thinking of going full on with this, I am really enjoying it and want to persue programming/coding in general.




Will do yiggles

Heres something I wrote last year while learning Java
plz r8 no h8


import java.util.*;
public class Main {
//Shows the Winning Matrix in order.
public static String[][] answer = {
{"Yellow","Blue","Red","Green","White"},

{"Cats", "Horses", "Birds", "Fish", "Dogs"}
};
//Making a blank matrix for the player to fill
public static String[][] user = new String[5][5];

public static Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
//Another part of filling the blank matrix. null->empty
public static void main(String[] args) {
for(int i=0; i<5 ; i++){
for(int j=0; j<5; j++){
user[i][j] = null;
}
}
//Giving options for selection
System.out.println("ENTER SELECTION 1.WRITE CLUE 2,PRINT USER TABLE 3. PRINT ANSWERS 4.PRINT HINTS");
int select = scanner.nextInt();
looper(select);


}
//Runs the input selection
public static boolean input(){
int row,col;

return true;
}
//Used either player or final matrix is wanted
public static void print(String[][] a){
String[][] print = a;
for (int i = 0; i <5; i++) {

System.out.println();

System.out.print(print[i][j]+" ");
}
}
}
//Checks if player wins the game. IS CASE SENSITIVE
public static boolean userCheck(){
boolean win = false;
if(Arrays.equals(answer, user)){

return win;
}
//Used for after selection. Tells the program which selection to run.
public static void looper(int x){


switch(x){
case 1:

break;
case 2:

System.out.println(1/0);
}
System.out.println("ENTER NEXT SELECTION");
int loopTemp = scanner.nextInt();
//throws program into loop until matix is win game
looper(loopTemp);

}

//Prints the hints
public static void hintPrint(){
System.out.println("The Englishman lives in the red house. \n"
+"The Swede keeps dogs.\n"

Yeah no way am I going to read through that without formatting, sorry.

I used a bit of Charlie's code (well mainly all of it just to try it out lol) but I am stuck and do not understand this bit.

When he uses:



it brings up an error saying randomNumber is used as a method but is a variable, here is the screenshot.

Can yiggles help me with this or Charlie?

Read the error message... it explains it very clearly.

"randomNumber" is declared as a variable, how do you use a variable?
How are you trying to use the variable "randomNumber" right now?

Right now the switch is trying to call the function "randomNumber", but there is not a function called that; besides, inside the scope of the function there is a variable with the same name.

If you haven't learned switches, they are like variable if-statements. They just make it easier to "switch" out different code portions.

switch = if () else if {} else if {} else if {} else if {} ...etc

Don't think too hard, the error isn't that huge (and I mighta edited it in thinking I fixed it , but this way you learn at least, instead of copy / paste)

Ah. Sweet thanks, just was a but stuck that's all. Cheers buddy

Lol, add them to the IT team Yiggles, and give them access to the repo. Then teach them Python (assuming they haven't already learned it, like they probably should have).

Then BOOM, new IT team.

Also, I used to use this format:

\\"blah" function does this that and the other thing
\\"%cl" is for client; "%arg" is for the argument
function blah(%cl, %arg)
{
//code
}

It's not letting me do indents on this for some reason, but imagine there's an indent for the code.
Of course, this was on a shitty scripting language that I haven't used in years. (Torquescript. If you've heard of it, you probably know how shitty it is)

Python's fairly similar in the way I indent it and comment it, but generally I just group things together now-a-days, such as my imports, and then do smaller comments here and there.

Beep boop.
