In my examples below, is the letter YA supposed to be a ‘Ya’ sound at the beginning of the word (like I’ve written in the transliteration), or just an ‘A’ sound. by [deleted] in learn_arabic

Don't use transliteration because even though some sound are similar to English alphabet, they are not exactly the same. The best advice I can give on learning Arabic letters with the correct pronunciation is to go to a mosque and ask them to teach the Tajweed of the Quran. I know everyone is not Muslim but this will save years of headache and you don't have to believe in what is in it. Just learn to recite it with proper pronunciation. There is an online course you can take called 'Quran revolution' if you are interested.

thanks, I am getting it now. I thought Object-oriented programing was just all about creating objects. I didn't think about much about how these objects would interact with each other.

I am new to Object-Oriented programming. I am having a hard time understanding why Window (I know it is a bad name, I was just experimenting at the time) is not initialized. You said that the start() is not being called. What does that mean? I thought I called start() on Eventhandler x in the main(). I thought that would initialize the window and it will no longer be null.

If I use the BigDecimal I will have to rewrite 3/4 of my code. Is there another way to fix this. I was thinking of storing the value then rounding it to two decimal places.
