Help with code!

red_ice

Im writing a program for college that inputs, deletes, edits and shows bookings for a cinema ticket.

I have to use vectors for the program and we can use any other methods for the layout.

Basicly i need help with the coding used to call a procedure..
This is pseudo code of what i mean

---

main(); // in here is the names of the sections i wish touse
newbook();
delbook();
etc...

---

static void main()
************
1 newbook // shows a ****ty layout of options
2 delbook
3 editbook
*************

switch (book)
case 1 : newbook
case 2 :

---

Right, heres the part i need help with. The parts in bold i need them to call a different procedure.
So when i hit '1' it opens up the newbookings section, when i hit '2' it opens up delete booking and so on..

What code do i use to make it call the different sections?

Cheers

Wolf

Sorry im in work atm and cant use mirc. Ill try if I get a chance. Is it the vector contruction you have probelms with or is it the sotorage ?

heh...

ok, so your code looks somthing like:

public class CinemaBooker {

    public newBook() { .... }
    public delBook() { .... }
    public editBook() { ....}

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        .....
    }
}

And in your main method you have (something like)
int book = System.in.read();

So for the switch statement, it would just be
switch(book)
case (1): newBook();
break;
case (2): delBook();
break;
case (3): editBook();
break;
default: System.exit(0);


If that makes any sense

red_ice

it does, but for ''public newBook() { .... }'' do i put {return surname} or what ever?

And the switch statement is not calling the procedures for me

know what i mean?

You need to create the object of the class within the main section to access the methods.

eg.

Class myClass {
  public void helloWorld() {
    System.out.println("Hello World"); 
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
     myClass example = new myClass();

     example.helloWorld();
  }
}

Also if newbook() doesn't need to return a value (which guessing at what's written so far it doesn't) then use "public void newbook() {...}".

Oh look at that, I forgot to include type identifiers....Must have been tired last night.

You could make the class purely static, from an aesthetic POV, but do what Hobbes said, it'll save on confusion...
