Programming / Re: Programming With Android by piouson(m): 9:51pm On Dec 01, 2014
henryobinna:
ever since I posted that error here no body ever cared to give a suggestion or probably the cause.
I know this is ages ago, but I just stumbled on the post and decided to reply, as no answer been given.
From the error message:
henryobinna:
Exception in thread "main" java.util.UnknownFormatConversionException: Conversion = '2'
at GradeBook.displayGradeReport(GradeBook.java:82)
at GradeBookTest.main(GradeBookTest.java:7)
In the GradeBook.displayGradeReport method, change the line:
System.out.printf("class average is %2.f\n", average);
to
System.out.printf("class average is %.2f\n", average);

Java Formatter uses "%.2f" to represent a 'float' variable, but you used "%2.f" which threw the UnknownFormatConversionException

That book was my first Java ebook and I really enjoyed it. Lemme know if you need any other Java help.

This won't work!!
You'll only retain such knowledge for a short time. Nothing beats typing in your code and running it.
@OP, get a Netbook or a Solar charger.
Did you miss the part that says "while you wait for power"
Programming / Re: Help A Frustrated Programmer With Power Problem by piouson(m): 4:49pm On Oct 29, 2012
Hahaha I once used TWO of those INEC batteries... sweeeeeeeeeeet!!!! cheesy Those or anything close would be the best option for you, 3 days (or 1 week) no power or not!!! I had no need for Gen for the most part, but the erratic power supply often left me with the 3 batteries drained (lappy battery too), that's when I use the Gen.
Most of y'all commenting, Gen (betterPassMyNeighbour) cant charge those batteries well enough, might leave the battery broken, which it did mine You need to charge with *NEPA* or a real *big Gen... I still got 2 or 4 of those INEC batteries (broken) in my room in Lagos grin i have no use for them no more!!
Dunno how you're studying programming, but GET A BOOK (not eBook) if you haven't already, a BIG NOTE, and you're still having fun studying while you wait for power!!!! wink well... you can also have sex while you wait coollipsrsealedgrin
Goodluck kiddo-programmer, hurry up, catch up to- and surpass many of us lazy programmers cheesy
Programming / Re: Does He Need Programming In Elect/elect.. by piouson(m): 3:40pm On Jul 17, 2012
monkvirus: Please i wanna study Elect/Elect and i was told by a friend that i would need programming to be an outstanding Engineer...
I guess you have you answer now, besides the fact that 'C' is the closest to Elect/Elect, anyone who learns C can learn any other language easily!!! Java PHP Python C++ etc... C is the mother of all!!
Programming / Re: [Help Request ] I Want To Learn Programming, what are the requirements by piouson(m): 3:18pm On Jul 17, 2012
The poor newbie programmer said *cant*afford* sad but I hear 'some NIIT shit' and "get a system first" cry *smh*
newbie said *java*phone* sad you given him tons of helpful links which i doubt he can put to use atm *smh*
finally newbie mentioned *just*finished*college* and MrIKnowIt lipsrsealed said *C/C++* shocked grin LWKM!!

Dear Pato5,
IMHO as a prospective Elect/Elect student, 'C' will be real close to your discipline, especially for embedded systems, circuits, etc., but the first thing you need is to understand the principles of OOP - Object Oriented Programming!
Languages like Java or C# which are rid of the hectic stress from C/C++ can caress you into the OOP idea, especially with books like 'Deitel How To Program...', 'SAMS Teach Yourself...' etc. Furthermore, you can just find a book on OOP generally and NOT language specific, just to master the principles of Classes, Objects, Functions, Encapsulation, Inheritance, etc., first, all which are among the basics of OOP. This way you can learn while you find a system to borrow occasionally, pending you get your own.
If you're able to find a Java or C# book for beginners, using a BIG NOTE, you can practice writing the codes you read, this is actually the recommendation for beginners, you'd find that many books, as well as programmers recommend using 'NOTEPAD' (and NOT IDEs) while just getting started with programming... This will dramatically build your programming keyword/syntax vocabulary!

With that said, I recommend walking to your nearest bookstore (maybe a friend if you're lucky or someone in NL here you can borrow from) or bend-down-select store to find yourself 'JAVA HOW TO PROGRAM' or 'C# HOW TO PROGRAM' by DEITEL DEITEL, pen, pencil, and a BIG NOTE, and you'll be well on your way to becoming a PRO DEVELOPER!! wink

Programming / Re: Programming Maths by piouson(m): 2:41pm On Jul 17, 2012
First
NO ONE needs to spend 1/4 time on charts!!
For crying out loud netbeans 6 can generate UML diagrams, plus we got Balsamiq Mockup, Visual-Paradigm, Gliffy, Creately, YUML, LucidChart, MSWOrd, and tons of apps out there to make charting a breeze!!! If you know what you want, Charts and the slides needed for presentation shouldn't waste time!!
Second
Debugging time can be reduced to near zero by adopting good programming principle and testing as you code.
Third
Yea testing takes the bulk of the time but even that has been reduced somewhat since automated testing became the craze...

With that said, many seem to find Programming straight forward at first and thinking it don't need a big deal of math...
Well that's only before you begin PDS - PROGRAMMING DATA STRUCTURES!! Even cool languages like Java where you have tons of classes pre-written for data structures like ArrayList, HashMap, etc., try BINARY SEARCH TREE, try RECURSION!!!
MATH, and not just basic algebra, is a crucial bit in C/C++ and Game Development!
It all lies in how well we can understand PDS...
Programming / Re: I Want To Develop A Software In Java To Calculate CGPA by piouson(m): 2:17pm On Jul 17, 2012
You've been on this for awhile but you still did not point out what you've been having problems with.
How do you intend to calculate the CGPA??
1. input each semester GPA?
2. input each module result?
Extra features of application??
1. database (what did you do on this)?
2. retrieving all preciously recorded GPAs?
3. retrieving all module results?
4. line/bar/pie charts to show individual growth?

I dont think you need go as far as the JDBC for this, using a .CSV file will do the trick!
I'll have so much fun implementing this on Android:
primarily with Java, Content Provider for storage, WebView for charts using HTML5 Canvas and Javascript....

Travel / Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered by piouson(m): 4:05pm On Aug 23, 2011
Hello House, I wish I found this thread long before now, though I'm so glad I got the best of advise from a friend working with an agency at no charge!
I applied for my tier 4 VISA 02/08/11 and today makes it 15 working days. Initially I was so worried it was taking longer than usual. But 2 week ago, someone just got their tier 4, and it took 21 working days. In addition, a friend who started his MSc January, got back last week and told me that though his own took only 5 working days, this season is peak period, and would usually take longer, 20+ days.
At this point, I am very relaxed, and urge my fellow applicants to be at ease as well. Every document I submitted checks, I paid 60% of my fees just to help with the VISA application, my maintenance cash is in my name and had been in my account for about 32 days before I applied, everything looks fine so far, and I have no doubt that my good news wont exceed next week!
I nid to read up all this post now. All these comments really has been super helpful guys. Thanks alot!

Well, let's assume your solution is the best option. The question is, is INEC even doing anything to tackle the problem at all?

Most laptops today come with onboard cameras. Since the laptops you are working with there are not connected to any live network, chances are low that the camera's are being used at all. You probably mistakenly put it on when it you turned the machine on or something.

D REGISTRATION IS NOW BACK TO LIGHTNING SPEED LOL!!!
NO MORE LOADING, NO MORE WAITING, NO MORE HASSLE!!!
MINE WAS DONE TODAY, &I JUS CANT WAIT 2HIT OVER 100 REGISTRANTS A DAY!!!!
Politics / Re: INEC Voter Registration: Eyewitness Accounts by piouson(m): 12:10am On Jan 26, 2011
@ufumes true word! though its the ARO1's duty 2make sure d prints r genuine! a major problem INEC may not av realised will b after collating results from all over d country, &over 30% of registrants nationwide end up as *duplicates due to the tweakn of the scanner!! for crying out loud, wen d mumu *Jega knew he'd require 10 finger prints 4a *common voting excercise, y d hell dint e provide a 5-fingerprint scanner!?!?!? SMH, &mayb dis single print scanner as an alternative in d DDC!! imagine they want me 2bliv dat d DDC machine costs US$1771 ROTF LOL LMAO LWKMD!!!
Now corps members r protesting about cos no transport/feeding allowance, u mean 2telme dat d INEC budget cannot accomodate #1000 daily to all participating corps members, besides the #30000!!!! screw nigerian politics!!
Politics / Re: INEC Voter Registration: Eyewitness Accounts by piouson(m): 7:27am On Jan 25, 2011
1ST OF ALL I WANT TO SAY TO ALL ARO1s AND ARO2s OUT THERE THAT ALL OF THE EQUIPMENTS ARE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!! THOUGH SUB-STANDARD!!!
THE ONLY PROBLEM IS DAT THESE PRODUCTS WERENT TESTED AND TRUSTED, LEAVING ALL CORPS MEMBERS TO SERVE AS *DEBUGGERS, &WORSE, IN A NATIONWIDE EXCERSICE!!!
IF ANY ARO1 OR ARO2 OUT THERE STILL CANT REGISTER OVER 50 PEAOPLE WITH EASE DAILY, FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES!!
(NOTE INEC EXPECTS PEOPLE TO BE REGISTERED IN 10MINS!!! THIS IS PREPOSTROUS!!!)

FINGER PRINT SCANNER
a steady blue light (not blinking) indicates ready to accept prints. when a finger is placed on it, it flashes red (infra-red) to capture d print. afterwards, the blue light goes off for a brief moment to allow for print processing, then comes back on steady to indicate ready for the next capture.
1. please discontinue letting registrants put their fingers on it themselves.
2. wait for the steady blue light.
3. place their finger flat on it yourself. after the red flash, check the percentage capture. (target a 54% or 60% print capture, but 48% is also ok.)
4. watch that the blue light go off briefly and come back on.
5. capture next finger.
6. its safe to assume that a BLINKING BLUE LIGHT is a warning sign, when you see this, unplug and plug the printer again, and click the 'reset' ONLY ONCE, else you'll get the blinking blue light again.
note: why didnt INEC use a 5 finger scanner, when they knew they wanted 10 fingerprints!?!?!

LAPTOP
the software was perfectly engineered, kudos to them on this, you hardly need a mouse to do everything, note all the key-board shortcuts on each menu/entry (F1, F2, F3, etc, ). but a software like this, that has not gone through proper *debugging will need frequent fixes, patches and updates!!
the only problem of note here is that the processor speed should have been doubled, so that corps members dont experience *significant delay/down time after registering over 300.
unfortunately no patches now, so if anyone has exceeded 300 and the laptop is becoming annoyingly slow already, SHUTDOWN AND RESTART AFTER THREE (3) REGISTRATIONS!!! trust me, you dont wanna go further than 3!
And for crying out loud, get used to using the keyboard shortcuts!!!

PRINTER
1. one significant problem here is the printing of yesterday's work today!!!
go to "manage printers" somewhere in the menu, right click on the printer in question and click "view print queue"
ctrl+A to highlight all queue, then goto edit (i think) and select delete! viola!
2. another is sending to print and nothing prints, whether because no paper at the time, printer off, etc, just make sure you got paper in the printer, and that it is on, then press the power button ONCE, it starts to blink and continues printing.

THERE ARE MANY MORE, BUT FOR NOW THIS IS ALL I CAN REMEMBER, SEND ME A MAIL WITH ANY OTHER HELP YOU MAY NEED piouson(at)gmail(dot)com AND I'LL REPLY ASAP!!
