Need help with an intro level programming class

[Watashi]

I need to create a program using five methods, and I am so close to finishing it. The program is supposed to look like this:

*******************************************************

*******************************************************

*******************************************************

Please enter the course code: CIS 120

Please enter the course name: Application Programming I

Please enter the number of students currently registered: 41

*******************************************************

*******************************************************

*******************************************************

CIS 120: Application Programming I

Total number of seats = 50

Number of students currently registered = 41

Number of seats available = 9

Everything underlined is console input. I'm making the program with Java in Jgrasp.

The code is functioning up until I attempt to print out all of the variables.

I am going to link the code that I have created.

Paluso333.java

I'm kinda out of Java Programming and mostly do JavaScript, but I feel that you should save the return values of your console1 and console2 functions somewhere. So your main method should look something like this

 

line(3);
String coursestring = console1();
int studentsreg = console2();
line(3);


int sum = calculation(seats, studentsreg);
myAwesomeFinalConsoleOutput(coursestring, sum);

If I recall correctly (man, Java 101 feels like ages ago), once executed, your main method is processed from top to bottom, halting at the user input. You currently simply ommit the values returned to your main method.

(Above code will not work out of the box for obvious reasons, regards it as some kind of pseudocode

 

Best,

Chris

 

edit: also, you should really reconsider the way you name your variables and methods. Its way more readable, if you'd call your stuff

public static void printEmptyLines(int count)

public static String requestCourseCodeInput()

public static String requestCourseNameInput()

public static Int requestPupilCountInput()

and so on

 

edit2: maybe it's just me, but I'm not that fond of downloading unknown executables from the internet. I saved your file as plain .txt, maybe consider uploading stuff that way or post it here dircetly using the <Code> markup

What is it doing that tells you that it's not functioning correctly?

Dude thank you so much, saving the variables in main did the trick.
