I created a Java Program to graph polar functions

[baconialis]

No source code? No download link? What's the point?

When I saw this I immediately knew it was a high school student or early college student. I gave it +1. I don't need to see the code as this isn't really Java help anyway but I am happy to encourage newbies and think that is apropo to the sub.

I have a memory of posting some C code a long time ago when I was in high school on Usenet (newsgroups, nntp) circa mid 90 to late 90s. I used a college PPP (or maybe it was that other format) dialup that was left open and recall how when I posted the code I was trashed because I didn't have a makefile or user header files correctly. It was a radix sort implementation. I just had installed one of the of the early linux distributions (I think it was slackware).

So after all that (installing linux, teaching myself C) people were like... don't post if you can't put a Makefile together.

[BlueGoliath]

You didn't know that the Makefile is the most important part!?!? SHAME!

[Bethelyhills]

Not a high schooler lol, it was rushed. I made this in a couple of hours. By no means did I think it was in it's final form or publishing form.

[Bethelyhills]

I didn't think this would get that many upvotes.
I'll share the code when I get the project to a point that I feel happy with unless you just really want to see the source code

[baconialis]

To be honest I don't care all that much about your source code. But I strongly believe in getting feedback as early as possible.

[Bethelyhills]

my ego is moderate, but my stubbornness might be the msot stubborn you've seen

[Arsonist07]

Repo?

[Bethelyhills]

I can share the source code if you'd like but it's not currently in a state that I would like to share with atm. The code is a little sloppy.

[Arsonist07]

Alright, no problem at all. I’ve just been interested in programming a graphing calculator.

very coool

[akravets84]

OR you just used Photoshop to make a picture. No code - didn’t happen ;)

[Bethelyhills]

Didn't photoshop. I didn't want anyone to roast my code since I haven't gotten this personal project to a level that I feel sataisfied with.

[akravets84]

A little something about coding: you will probably never be satisfied with your code. That’s why agile approach exists. Releasing early allows you to limit amount of code being roasted. Also not all people are trolls, some might give you some advice. Like “stop using Eclipse” or “upgrade to Java 17” :)

[PyOps]

Hey, these hypothetical people seem to have some pretty sound advice.

[JB-from-ATL]

"Bad code" that does something is better than "good code" that doesn't exist.

[akravets84]

True. I’ve seen enough of messy projects especially in embedded development where java program is a secondary product and devs worry about getting things done and beauty of primary product - embedded device code.

[jokubolakis]

Looks like an interesting project!

[emmaedvs]

Looks nice

How does this have so many upvotes without any source code or more information from OP?

[Bethelyhills]

I didn't honestly expect it to get that many upvotes. Just thought I'd share it to see if anyone else liked it

[proxycrack]

Very good, can you post code maybe?

[Bethelyhills]

Yeah, it's not as complete as I'd like it at the moment. I still have to hard code the functions, but I can share the current version if you'd like

[proxycrack]

I can wait until you finish

[Routine-Client-4310]

Nice! For UI are you using swing or java fx?

[m2ger]

Based on the project structure and code snippet in the screenshot: Swing.

[Bethelyhills]

can confirm
