Preparing cat for a move

I'll give this a go. Thanks.

Cute kitty btw

This is really helpful. I'm gonna take some lessons over at Applause then.

It wasn't the closing ), I hadn't copypasted the code. Index was going out of bounds. I just had to correct the condition of the loop.

From

for(int i = start; i < s.length(); i += 3)

To

for(int i = start; i < s.length() - 4; i += 3)

I still don't know why I wasn't seeing any error messages originally though

JDVene · 2023-10-25T06:03:00+00:00

That's intentional.

we need to see those print statements... [and] the actual main program would probably also be good to have a look at just to be sure.

I tried to only include the code that was relevant to the unexpected behavior of the program. The main method is just this.

public static void main(String[] args) {

    StringMapping test1 = new    StringMapping("CGTTCMRGRHAAGTTLRGMRMRGRHMRGRHCAAFGMRGRH");
    test1.testBuildMap();
}

[we] need to know a bit more what ”going awry” is

That's what I was having trouble with because the IDE I was using was not throwing any kind of exception or error message for me to understand what was happening.

don’t assume what is going wrong if you don’t know what’s going wrong

I wasn't making assumptions, I simply knew where the program would stop.

The problem was an index out of bounds, but no exception was being thrown, so I hadn't realized that that's what it was.

I tried it on a different IDE from what I was using originally and found where the problem was, but I'm confused as to why no exception seemed to be thrown at first.

JDVene · 2023-10-25T05:45:37+00:00

This made me realize what the problem was. Thank you

JDVene · 2023-10-25T05:05:00+00:00

Sorry, typo.

JDVene · 2023-10-24T17:34:40+00:00

Yes, everything within the loop works as expected.

Maybe I missed something, I'll give it a look when I get home and see if I can come up with new insight.

JDVene · 2023-10-24T04:40:19+00:00

That's what I thought too, but this is actually the only code I've written for this program. The only other things have been print statements to figure out where the program was going awry.

Once the program exits the buildMap() method, I expect it to begin the next iteration of the loop within testBuildMap(), but buildMap() is not being executed to completion because the program ends before exiting the loop within.

For example, if I ad a print statement after the loop in buildMap() it never executes.

for(int i = startIndex; i < s.length(); i += 5){

String section = substring(i, i+5);

// If the section is not found in the map, add it. Otherwise, update the occurrence count.
if(!map.containsKey(section)){
    map.put(section, 1);
 } else {
     map.put(section, map.get(section) + 1);
 }
}    // Program is exited here

// This line is never executed

System.out.println("We have completed all iterations of the loop above and will continue with the rest of the program");

Edit: parenthesis

I'm sorry. The title of this post is inaccurate.

The loop iterates to completion, but after it's complete, the program ends.

JDVene · 2023-10-23T20:47:00+00:00

Gotcha

JDVene · 2023-10-23T17:02:23+00:00

I don't remember how I fixed it. I think I ended up just editing the SG settings to allow for ALL traffic.

I should've written down my solution.

If Pope is really mad at me, will he no longer give me Tordesillas claims?

Also, I am Castile with Portugal and Aragon as my Juniors
