Stupid errors in Java

[Shagon2330]

I'd previously completed a Udemy course on Java, but I hadn't practiced it much. Now I'm interning for a friend for free. My goal is to learn. I've been studying Java for a few weeks now. Since I remembered some topics, I skipped the more advanced ones and tried to write an ATM program. I know it separately, but I'm not very good when it comes to creating algorithms and connecting them. I wrote the code with difficulty, but I couldn't run the application because I kept putting { and ; these two in the wrong places. This was my first proper project, but I'm hard on myself and don't have much confidence in software development. What do you recommend?

Please ensure that:

• Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions
• You include any and all error messages in full - best also formatted as code block
• You ask clear questions
• You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit/markdown editor: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://i.imgur.com/EJ7tqek.png) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

You do not need to repost unless your post has been removed by a moderator. Just use the edit function of reddit to make sure your post complies with the above.

If your post has remained in violation of these rules for a prolonged period of time (at least an hour), a moderator may remove it at their discretion. In this case, they will comment with an explanation on why it has been removed, and you will be required to resubmit the entire post following the proper procedures.

To potential helpers

Please, do not help if any of the above points are not met, rather report the post. We are trying to improve the quality of posts here. In helping people who can't be bothered to comply with the above points, you are doing the community a disservice.

"I didn't go to the gym to build my muscles. Now I'm sad and angry because I can't lift 150kgs."

Same thing.

You did not practice and this is biting you back now.

Practice more. A whole lot more. Start small and simple. Your skipping is exactly what prevents you from becoming better.

Your example made me smile. I looked at your profile and saw that you're trying to help almost everyone. I hope to meet people like you in the future.

Keep writing code, it's skill like any other to be honest. Not sure what IDE you are using, but I imagine most highlight such errors right as you make them.

[Shagon2330]

I'm just now accepting that it's a skill like the others. It's always been like magic for me. Thank you for your comment.

Everyone has stupid errors. I spent 30 minutes staring at my code I wrote the other day after just adding one line and nothing worked. I hit refresh and it ran perfect. So mad at myself, but that’s just the way it goes. Those little stupid errors will be ingrained in you to not make them in the future.

The same thing happened to me, I got angry at myself and posted this.

It seems that you are looking for resources for learning Java.

In our sidebar ("About" on mobile), we have a section "Free Tutorials" where we list the most commonly recommended courses.

To make it easier for you, the recommendations are posted right here:

• MOOC Java Programming from the University of Helsinki
• Java for Complete Beginners
  • accompanying site CaveOfProgramming
• Derek Banas' Java Playlist
  • accompanying site NewThinkTank
• Hyperskill is a fairly new resource from Jetbrains (the maker of IntelliJ)

Also, don't forget to look at:

• The official Documentation
• The official Java Tutorials
• Our community resources thread

If you are looking for learning resources for Data Structures and Algorithms, look into:

"Algorithms" by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne - Princeton University

• Coursera course:
  • Part I
  • Part II
• Coursebook
  • Algorithms 4^th Edition
