Programming › [Code Review Help] Explanation In Java Needed by paranorman(op): 1:21pm On Oct 11, 2019
A semi-colon delimited file exists, I just wanna output its content to the console after splitting it like this using PHP:

try {
if (($fp = fopen("output.txt", "r" ) ) ) {
while (!feof($fp)) {
$line = explode(";", fgets($fp, 1024)) ;
list($firstname, $lastname, $othername) = $line ;
print "First name: $firstname; Last name: $lastname; Other names: $othername <br /> " ;
}
fclose($fp);
} else {
throw new Exception("Error: File is not available" ) ;
}
} catch(Exception $e) {
//implement control logic here ;
}

The above code works as expected

Java's output of this code is funny:

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

public class Test2 {

public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
File file = new File("output.txt" ) ;
Scanner in = new Scanner(file) ;

int count = 1;
while (in.hasNextLine()) {
if (in.nextLine().contains( " ; " ) ) {
String names[] = in.nextLine().split( " ; " ) ;
System.out.printf("(%d) Your name is %s %s %s\n", count, names[0], names[1], names[2] ) ;
} else {
throw new Exception("String " + in.nextLine() + " does not contain ; " ) ;
}
count++;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage()) ;
}

}


}

output:
(1) Your name is jacob zuma zoomzoom
(2) Your name is abbey jackson teme


This java code works just fine, as expected:
import java.io.* ;
import java.util.* ;
import java.util.regex.* ;

public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {

try {
File file = new File("output.txt" );
Scanner in = new Scanner(file) ;

int count = 1;
while (in.hasNextLine()) {
String names[] = in.nextLine().split(Pattern.quote( " ; " ) ) ;
System.out.printf("(%d) First name: %s; last name: %s; other names: %s \n", count, names[0], names[1], names[2]) ;
count += 1;
}
in.close() ;

} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.print("An error has occured" ) ;
System.out.println(e.getMessage() ) ;
}

}

}

output:
(1) First name: john; last name: doe; other names: wick
(2) First name: jacob; last name: zuma; other names: zoomzoom
(3) First name: optimus; last name: primus; other names: autobots
(4) First name: abbey; last name: jackson; other names: teme



The text file is (output.txt)
john;doe;wick
jacob;zuma;zoomzoom
optimus;primus;autobots
abbey;jackson;teme


question:
Why is the console output of the first java program omitting the odd rows of the text file?!
NL smileys are getting in the way, so I had to space some characters oddly out.

Christianity Etc › Re: Can A Man Advice God?? by paranorman(m): 8:57pm On Oct 07, 2019
Man cannot advise God, no.
....And there is a difference between intercession and advice. Moses was intercedding on behalf of the Isrealites. Abraham did something like this when he interceded on behalf of Sodom and Gomorrah because of Lot's presence in those cities, God didn't heed to Abraham's plea for two cities but saved Lot (and members of his families that Lot could) which was what Abraham wanted anyway. Samuel interceded for Saul and God rejected it. Standing in the gap is something God does not overlook and we have read several examples in the bible.

God also initiated several discussions with his prophets and judges in the old testament just to hear what they have to say and then agree to it.
Jesus did same and got the perfect responses, sometimes, from folks seeking miracles, and even from His disciples.

God even honoured the request of some folks when they asked for signs in the old testament and Jesus gave none to those that asked for it in the new testaments since they had the books of the prophets to read from back then.

The need for reorientation is one thing I wave aside and I always think 'shouldn't people know these things? ' The force needs a mental overhaul. Their salaries, benefits and walfare packages needs overhaul, else they will continue these misconduct. For those that have had experience similar to this harassment, you'd hate the police. A armed robber could even treat you better than a cop.

As is in the cooperate world, it's someone's fault. Some employees of both telcos will bare the brunt by the time the emails will start flying around..

56 customers huh? Someone have reported them to NCC, and they investigated. Free cash to fly around.

I see rice there didn't I? But saying rice was banned for logistical reasons is lame. We all know it's political. I guess it good news for dealers doing imports FROM Benin. If they like, they should adjust rates and make the price unbearable, people still smuggle them vehicles. Taking off all officers from the road?! They had better have something that really works, not on paper!

Both have their strengths and weaknesses. Some call node.js a Javascript hack.. grin
Good ol' php.. My advice? Learn both.. Languages are like tool stacks: some have it almost all, some are strong in certain aspects, some weak. For example, spread is one of such factor. Relax and have fun learning.
Education › Re: University Admission Offer Vs Nigeria Air Force Recruitment Offer by paranorman(m): 8:58pm On Mar 16, 2019
obinoral1179:
This is a serious issues but let me point the con and pro for you


Goin to school advantage

1 you will be able to build your intellectual capacity
2 you will be able to become a professional in any field you find yourself
3 you will be able to control your destiny and decide what to do with your life
4 you can impact your knowledge to others
4 you can strive to make it in life by challenging yourself
5 Education is the bedrock of a successful nation

Disadvantages

Nigeria settings will make you look for jobs after graduation

You will depend on your parent for funding

Lecturer will frustrate you

You need to come out with a good grade to be able to get a good job

Nigeria situation will turn you to teacher or compulsory entrepreneur...


Air Force advantage

1 after six month you will allocated a house and a salary is guaranteed

2 you will be able to control people with your uniform

3 promotion is after 5 years but you will write exam kr go to course in some field

4 you will be respected by civilian

5 your kids school fees will be reduce if they attend force school which am sure they will

6 after 6 months you are big boy and after 2 years you will be the one giving your parent stipend.


Disadvantages

They will likely post you to anywhere they want including BH states

Your life belongs to the air force

You can't further your education because that loop holes has been blocked

If you don't have a plan your retirement after 35 years will be a waste of time because you knowledge and experience will only be needed at CDA or landlord association....

Your parent will be praying everyday for you for fear death



The choice is yours, pray to God and seek his face he alone can tell what your future holds....if not for unemployment nobody will near Airforce or military job...

Still waiting for the problems php7 would pose though and oh php7 has moved beyond "lamp".

Pathetic. I just wish PDP can win this coming election so that the defections and counter-defections can occur again, witch hunt of APC members, so the cycle of uselessness can continue.

Sebi you Nigerians don't want to have sense àbí? Continue rooting for APC or PDP you hear, by banking on sentiments and tribal foolishness; as if these guys have something to offer. They have both been tested and have failed woefully.

PDP and APC: different side of the same coin!
