Solve this problem in the shortest code possible (JAVA)

Hobbes

Sorry assignments or things people are getting paid for (ie. looking for the whole thing) I don't do.

Go read a book.

Me neither soz

what college are u in?

itb by any chance?

i have the code but you are definitly not getting it! if i told you now that would be too easy. the code is ****in handy dumbass!

hehe yes it is handy actually, but hey ! call me lazy

Write a Java Applet that checks whther three number entered by the user could be the sides of a right angled triangle.

Use Label objects on screen to request information from the user, i.e., integer numbers.

The user should input the integer numbers through a number of TextFields.

Your Java applet code should call a programmer defined method with the name of myTriangleChecker to calculate the result using the assignment:

where: a2 = b2 +c2 (2's are to the power of)

Note that a is the largest of a,b and c.

The integers should be passed into the method and from which a result is returned.
Your program should then display the result back to the screen user.

Assume that you have the use of paint and the Graphics object g.

( Yeah yeah ok so it is an assignment I have to do but I aint too hot on the old Java at the moment.)

Try and figure it out and post up the code here

*sigh* boards doesnt get the indentation right
so my answer to this doesn't work when posted here
see the code for yourself at http://csd.dot-ie.com/~dogs/solved

i'm tired of wrestling with boards and lynx
replying/posting is a bytch. fix this
fscking textarea, use much wider column
widths and so forth

Lazy dude. Any first year could do that for you.

You want us to do your exam for you too?

I hope the teacher reads the boards and fails anyone who cuts and pastes.

My reasoning to why I don't do this. I took a C course one time (knew it already but work felt that as I wasn't qualifed they didn't have to pay me more money). Out of a class of about 20 people, only 3 people were capable of passing (1 of them being me).

How many passed? all but one. Why? Because they all cheated except for the three I mentioned. The sad thing is these people had problems sitting in the right direction let alone programming, yet from what I gather a lot of them have good jobs now based on that course as thier experience.

I had a similar incident some years back where I helped some guy set up his machine with Domino server and client and explained how to use it (only with about 1 months experience myself, him less then 3 days). Both of us went for a job, I told them my level of experience and he said he was setting up servers for over a year and he got the job (good pay too sob). I only hope they fired his sorry ass later.

These are just two examples... I have seen loads of instances where people have gotten better grades/jobs on the backs of others or by bull****ting.

Yeah, getting someone else to write your code doesn't do you any favours. Programming (IMHO) is a very practical thing, you can read a lot of theory and not have a clue about how to code properly.

The only way to learn is to write it, debug it, run it, debug it again, run it.

There was a guy who used to practically copy my code line for line in labs, fine for "Goodbye World" stuff, ended up dropping out unsuprisingly enough (...and the course only started in september).

That's enough finger wagging from me, but if you really want to learn to code, you have to do the work yourself (or pay me -- standard contracting rates apply)...

bleh.

Looks like an old problem from the All Ireland Secondary Schools Programming Contest.
http://www.compapp.dcu.ie/~cdaly/ire_comp.html

IIRC it was from the 95 competition and was one of the first questions in the first round anyone could enter.

I did it when I was 15. It's not hard.

Think about it.

Get pen and paper and draw out the various cases.

Get the maths behind it ok in your head.

Put together a systematic way of solving it.

Code that.

Add the shiny buttons and stuff etc. afterwards.

ta da.

After reading all this I decided that yer all a binch of ****ers anyway
So I got off my lazy behind and did it myself. It took me all of one class which I could have used for browsing, I mean for **** sake like .

****ers the lot of ye.

Slaanesh is my brother.
I spent sixty squid on a Java book for him last christmas.

Use the book, he might learn something that way.

Did you try putting it between CODE tags?
