So, how long before you guys implement computers within computers within computers?

We already did it.

We already did it.

Depending on how recursive reality is, we might actually live in one.

Too much recursion error

Most errors just crash the program.  That one managed to screw over the OS, forcing a reboot.  Granted we were using 15 - 20 year old computers in a programming environment that stopped existing back then.

Hey guys, wondering if you can help me. I'm running an SVN repository for a java project, and we're trying to use checkstyle. we have the xml file we want to use in the repository but any time i try to activate checkstyle i get this error:
Fileset from project "Supermarket" has no valid check configuration.
Fileset from project "Supermarket" has no valid check configuration.

and whenever i save a file i get this error:
Errors occurred during the build.
Errors running builder 'Checkstyle Builder' on project 'Supermarket'.
Fileset from project "Supermarket" has no valid check configuration.
Fileset from project "Supermarket" has no valid check configuration.
Fileset from project "Supermarket" has no valid check configuration.
Fileset from project "Supermarket" has no valid check configuration.

ive googled around a bit but it didnt really help at all. what do?

Spoiler: Just a off-topic not-constructive rant about how much java sucks (click to show/hide)

Solution #1: Don't use Java.

(Sorry bout that but I'm really fed up with my job (which uses Java) right now and I'm using this thread to vent )
I recently acquired an old bluray player (didn't have one yet) and it takes almost a minute to start up properly. So I look on the back and there the problem presents itself: A logo with "powered by Java".

Usually I type these things and then don't press the post button (several times per day), but I'm having a sharing mood.

Gentlemen, I have a programming issue.

In AP Computer Science, we're working with GridWorld, the environment tested on the AP exam. I have client code that looks like this:

Code: [Select]

import info.gridworld.actor.ActorWorld;
import info.gridworld.actor.Critter;

public class StuffRunner {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        ActorWorld world = new ActorWorld();
        world.add(new Rock()); // Compiles fine
        world.add(new FunkyCritter()); // Error
    }
}

FunkyCritter is a subclass of Critter. Critter is a subclass of Actor. The function world.add takes one Actor object as an argument.

Could someone explain why this wouldn't work?

What kind of error?

off topic,

I just finished making my Pig-Latin translator.

it's a very good reason as to why you should use functions.
it's 104 lines long,
and main is only 10 lines long.

Spoiler: Int Main (click to show/hide)

int main()
{
    string::size_type wordnum = 0;
    string str;
    cout<<"Enter a word or phrase to be translated."<< endl;
    getline(cin,str);
    for (int onword = 0 ;  onword < wordcount(str) ; onword++)
    cout  <<   pigLatin(returnword ( str , wordnum )) << "  ";
    return 0;
}

was my first time trying out word manipulation, and I think a got the hang of it.

also I found I prefer to work in Notepad and copy / paste into my IDE. I use it to put my thoughts in writing.

Strange habit... What IDE are you using?

[Mego]

What kind of error?

Compile error. It says that world.add(FunkyCritter) cannot be found.

[Gatleos]

What kind of error?

Compile error. It says that world.add(FunkyCritter) cannot be found.

Does it say it's not defined? What is the content of the error message?

[Max White]

1. Check the spelling of the function. Make sure you got upper and lower case where it needs to be.
2. Check the visibility of the function. If it is internal, you are going to need to find another way to sneak your guy in there, because the front door is tight!
3. Check you have the right number and type of arguments. It might need more than just the critter.
4. Double check that FunkeyCritter does indeed inherit from Actor.

[Stargrasper]

What kind of error?

Compile error. It says that world.add(FunkyCritter) cannot be found.

The code you posted works fine in my test environment.  Check to see if FunkyCritter isn't extending Critter correctly.  If it can't find FunkyCritter, then make sure it's either defined in the same package as your code or you import the package that it is in.  If it isn't either of those, then post the exact error message you're getting.

Code::Blocks

I only write in notepad when working on a complex function.
in notepad I can type noncode then hit return a few times and start coding,

Spoiler: example of what I'd write in notepad (click to show/hide)

take string isolate each word and return it as a string.
take string find position of space, starting at 0 for first word, then starting at
last position +1 for next space.
make new string starting at postition going to the length of position of space - start postion
etc. just like, little notes that don't make much sense, Then I put it all together into something like

string returnword(string wholestring, string::size_type &wordpos)
{
string::size_type endofword;
endofword = wholestring.find(" ",wordpos) ;
string word;
word = wholestring.substr(wordpos,endofword-wordpos);
wordpos = endofword+1;
return word;
}

then copy that into Code::Blocks, and start working on the next function.

and I can change the font size, I can do that in codeblocks too, but I prefer to keep the font small in codeblocks and bigger in notepad, so I can see more clearly the part I'm working on, like zooming in on the specific part I'm working on



Also, I have a question, how come when I use using namespace string, it doesn't work, yet I have to use functions in the namespace with the scope resolution "::"
such as string::size_type,
I don't know how well I worded that, basically string::size_type works, but using namespace string; size_type doesn't, but to my understanding of namespaces it should,
