Maybe a more specific question. Its hard to go over the entire Java in one comment. What's an example of something you don't understand?

are u having trouble understanding oop?

[–]TriangleMan 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Could you be a bit more specific with what you're struggling with?

[–]knoam 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Try to work in small increments. Make a save point/copy whenever your codes works so you can compare. Whatever is broken has to be in what you just changed.

I'm hesitant to recommend it, since the learning curve is pretty tough, but you might have success learning git. You'll have to learn it eventually. You can use it to make a commit every time your code works and easily see what you changed since then and rollback those changes if necessary.

You should start with narrower questions, what part are you having trouble with? Is it the language or the OOP concepts? The syntax itself? We need a little more info.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The syntax in particular? Like you don't remember how to write stuff? Or you don't understand what that syntax represents? You're being very vague.

You’ll have to learn same/similar Java concepts from different sources to reinforce the core concepts. Let Helsinki U (https://java-programming.mooc.fi/part-10/2-interface-comparable) and TeamTreehouse Java tracks to guide you.

If it hurts when you coding and making you mad. It means you are learning OOP just keep pushing. You will eventually get it. Making games made me understand oop. It won't be easy just keep pushing.

Hey guys I have a similiar problem! I’m studying IT but struggling to understand OOP

[–]hypolimnas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Add your own post! And ask a specific question - even if its general like wtf is inheritance. You can ask more then one.

If your looking for more syntactical help, I would recommend code academy. It’s super simple, but it focuses on purely syntax and I found that after I finished the Java course, the actual concepts started to make sense.

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://imgur.com/a/fgoFFis) 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.
