    Exclamation Help with Arrays

    Okay I am making this program and I have everything down except the last part to display the results. Here's what I have so far. THe error (in red) is that it can't find symbol : JOptionPane

    The program generates 100 random integers between 0 and 9 and should display the # of each occurence.

    Code:
    public class CountingSingleDigits {
    
        /**
         * @param args the command line arguments
         */
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            // Declare and create and array
            int[] ints = createArray();
            
            // Count occurence of each number
            int[] counts = countLetters(ints);
            
            // Call display result
            displayCounts(counts);
        } 
        public static int[] createArray() {
            int[] ints = new int[100]; //make new array to hold 100 ints.
             
            for (int i = 0; i < ints.length; i++)
                    ints[i] = (int)(Math.random() * 10); //generate 100 random ints
            return ints;                                 //between 0 and 9
        }
            
        public static int[] countLetters(int[] ints) {
            int[] counts = new int[10]; //make new array to store occurences
                    
            for (int i = 0; i < ints.length; i++) //count how many occurences
                        counts[ints[i] - 0]++ ;
            return counts;
        }
        
        // Display results
        public static void displayCounts(int[] counts) {
            for (int i = 0; i< counts.length; i++) 
               
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(counts[i] + (i + 0) + "\n" 
                       , JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE); 
            
        }    
        
    }

    You need to import JOptionPane!

    Start your code with

    Code:
    import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

    And not to say that your code will be working then - to output something with Swing you will need quite a bit more code ...

    I'd advise to work through a Swing tutorial.

    Doh...I knew it was something stupid...but yea,

    showMessageDialog is what is highlighted now with this error

    symbol : method showMessageDialog(java.lang.String,int)
    location: class javax.swing.JOptionPane
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(counts[i] + (i + 0) + "\n"
    1 error

    Hmm, Not sure...

    As I said, I strongly recommend working through a Swing tutorial. At least you should have the Javadocs at hand - you'd know why your approach can't work.

    Do you really need a graphical output for your program?

    Why not just use a simple output to the console, like:

    Code:
    System.out.println(counts[i]+" "+i);
    and all is well ... ;-)

    Code:
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog("value " + i + ", occurs " + counts[i] + " time(s)", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
    you might also want to consider concatenating all those counts into a single string inside the loop and then displaying it once, rather than a billion popups.

    Thanks codex
    Hmm, Yea i decided to just go with the println method...but....hmm your right icymint. That's actually how i wanted the output but so far i have only worked with results that show at once and didn't even realize it would pop up for each result...I'll check that way later.

    I hope you are using netBeans or Eclipse as IDE. NetBeans, my favorite will tell you if you missed an import and even add the line for you.

    If you write a variable all occurences will be highlighted, if you send an object a message the parameters and their type will automaticall appear in a bubble etc. (Like Visual Studio but for an open Programming language)

    And best of all: It's free.

    See and download: http://www.netbeans.org/
    or: http://www.eclipse.org/

    its funny. I am using netbeans 6.0 It does help out in some cases but in that case it didn't show that the import was missing. Usually though if I import and it isn't used it tells me but not the other way.. I believe I have all settings on default so I'm not sure if i need to turn it on or something.
