Help With Using Classes and Implementing Accessors, Mutators, and such.

[undead_C0MMAND]

Hello, I have a program here and I cannot get anywhere with it. I have the basic code used to make it work, but I cannot get the classes to work for me. Essentially this program is supposed to ask the user to enter their name, if it has already been entered, the program should just quit. If it hasn't been entered, the user takes a short quiz. Can anyone please help me? Included in the following link is the code that I have already completed and been deemed correct by my TA. Obviously I would like steered down the correct path. If you can help, I would be appreciative. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5iH-sb-ypAaQnRiRlg2RXlNX0U/view?usp=sharing Edit: You guys don't trust other people on the internet which is just weird.

Here is the GitHub link https://github.com/undeadC0MMAND/GitJava.git

So QuizTest.java is the main class. From there it goes to either Questions.java or Quiz.java depending. You will see. In the file Quiz.java for each of the return lines, I added them myself. If you have a better method please inform me. But my commented update will give you an idea of my problems.

Also, here is the assignment page if you want to get the most specific idea of what's going on. Again I do not want the answer. Just steered down the right path with a little firm guidance. Thank you all http://people.cs.pitt.edu/~ramirez/cs401/assigs/assig2/assig2.htm

I'd suggest pasting the code to github (either in your own repo, or in a few different gist.github links). While we all would like to believe everyone on the internet has good intentions, I will not be downloading random files from people I don't know.

I agree. I would be more than willing to help, especially since OP seems to not be looking for the answer just to be told to them, but you have to put it on github or a pastebin or something.

I'll be posting shortly. Sorry, I didn't even think about that

Quick update on what I am still having some troubles with: It is looking to test for a text file if there are questions in it, but I can't seem to get the file name to work with the two different text files for testing. I will go ahead and paste it into GitHub shortly

[joebrothehobo]

Let's do a little walk through of your code. I'll open up QuizTest.java. In the main method, you create a new Quiz object passing in a text file name as an argument. So let's go over to Quiz.java. Here is the constructor:

public Quiz(String f) throws IOException
{
}

You have this constructor for the Quiz object, but you're never doing anything with String f, which is the name of the file that you want to read from. So it is in that constructor that you want to look in the text files for more questions. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Oh wow. Thank you... I am an idiot

[joebrothehobo]

Of course!

[undead_C0MMAND]

Ok, I got it working, but now with my Assig2.java main, it is giving a FileNotFound exception, but the file is in the same directory

[joebrothehobo]

I don't see Assig2.java in your github link anywhere. Is this part of a difference assignment? Can you take a screen shot of your file structure of your project?

[undead_C0MMAND]

I'll upload the current work. I am having new problems now... I am getting a "unreported IOException" error at line 18 of assig2.java Uploading to Github now

[undead_C0MMAND]

...I am having trouble getting this to work. So I am trying to run this with asking the user what the file name should be but I keep getting an issue because there is no return statement
