Programming & Design - November 2006

In java, is there anyway to instanciate an object and name it a word stored in a String variable? like if i had:

String thing=test;
random test=new random();
thing=something

would there be anyway to create another instance of class random without having to maually type it in? in otherwords, is there any way to name the object using the string's name (thing) and not the actual value stored in it. Basically i want it to say something like this:

String thing=everything;
random thing=new random();

but to have the object named everything, not thing. Can anyone help me?

I have only VERY basic skills - a bit of Fortran I've forgotten and some Basic on a commodore 64 (I made it up to sprite collisions!)
My goal is to write freeware games like Bridge Construction or a entrepreneur sim.
I need: Easy to learn, Free or Cheap, Easy to learn. ;)

I am 15 and I designed a website for my high school's track team.
Here is the site: http://www.freewebs.com/paramusrunning

I would like to enter the site into some sort of a design contest or competition so I could get more recognition for it.

I would appreciate if anyone gives a name or a link to a contest suitable for this case. And please tell me whether you think I have a chance at winning or not.

I'm doing an assignment for Web Design and I can't figure out how to keep my menu frame from getting horizontal scrollbars. When it's just the plain menu there are no bars, but when I click on "intvertebrates" and the menu expands the scroll bar (horizontal) appears. Take a look and if you don't get the scrollbar let me know which browser you are using as my teacher will most likely be using Safari.

I want to display text vertically, either by rotating it or by putting letters on top of each other, i don't really care but rotating is my preference.

I found this for css:
writing-mode: tb-rl;
filter: flipv fliph;
but it does not work in firefox

I'm working on some Java code, and I create a string with characters of another string.

example: strStringName = "" + strAnotherString.charAt( 0 ) + strAnotherString.charAt( 1 );

Since I include the empty quotes at the beginning, this assignment statement should automatically typecast the added characters as string type. This statement works fine for me in my code; this is not where the problem lies.

Next, I evaluate whether that string is equivalent to a string literal in an IF statement.

example:
if (strStringName == "ab")
{
(this doesn't work, blah blah blah)
}

For some reason, this IF statement evaluates the express as "false"...which it shouldn't do!

However, if I use the charAt method, it works...but it sure is a lot of added code I have to write which I shouldn't have to.

example:
if (strStringName.charAt(0) == 'a' && strStringName.charAt(1) == 'b')
{
(this works, blah blah blah)
}

wtf is going on??!!!!...is it a bug with the SDK/JDK?...bleh!

I'm having a problem like so.

stream>>FirstName;
stream>>LastName;
stream>>IDnum;
cout<
Instead of outputting something such as

John Smith 45

It outputs this...

45n Smith

For some reason, after the LastName is printed, it goes to the beginning of the buffer and writes over the characters. FirstName and LastName are character arrays and not a strings, and that's what they have to be (class assignment). I've tried flush between LastName and IDnum, but that doesn't seem to work. Whats the problem?

I want to learn how to do some programming. I will be taking a class soon on the subject but I want to get some feedback form people who have been through all the struggle of learning how to program. I have ask some programmers on where to start if I were to learn the business, most have told me to learn how database works and how to program.

I am planning to take a class in C++
I am also planning to take a class that deals with database. However, I am not sure where to start and which is the most useful. I heard there were several different types of database the companies use. Access, SQL, and some other that I cannot think of.

So what are your thoughts, what would you do if you were me?

I have a question about image maps. First off, what I would like to do is set in a background that the images are strategically placed behind and around a form that you would fill out, I could make it one big BG image, however that would load very slow. I would like to tell the server to place X image on X coordinate, can this be down, oh and I don't need links. I need the form to be posted over the top of the images. Here is the link to an image I made of what I ultimately want to do. http://www.donateerg.com/image/formimage.gif. If you have any ideas feel free to email them to me at gralex07@yahoo.com in addition to answers. thanks so much

On one of my pages i get this error:

Ive heard it could be to do with 'white spaces' but have checked and not found any. Is there anything else that could be causing this?

Also what exactly is a white space, is it just a gap in the script?

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/content/t/n/i/tnine/html... in /home/content/t/n/i/tnine/html... on line 51

Thanx.
