I was trying

for (int i = 1; i < lowercaseInput.length(); i++) {
            if (lowercaseInput.charAt(i) != firstChar) {

[soft locust]

sounds good. whats the issue?

and please share the entire code

[zealous niche]

for (int i = 1; i < lowercaseInput.length(); i++) {
            if (lowercaseInput.charAt(i) != firstChar) {
                return false; character
            }
        }

Detected code, here are some useful tools:

Formatted code

for (int i = 1; i < lowercaseInput.length(); i++) {
  if (lowercaseInput.charAt(i) != firstChar) {
    return false;
    character}
}

[zealous niche]

thats all i got till now

[soft locust]

entire code please

thats missing a class, main method etc

[zealous niche]

public static boolean areAllLettersSame

{
for (int i = 1; i < lowercaseInput.length(); i++) {
  if (lowercaseInput.charAt(i) != firstChar) {
    return false;
    character}
}

        return false;
        character}
    }

@zealous niche if u ask chatgpt for the solution, u wont really learn it and will be stuck on the very next task again

it would be helpful if u answer the questions, then i can assist u through it and get ur attempt working

the code u provided has some syntax errors and wont compile like that

and it's also missing a main method, so u can't even run it and try it out like that

[zealous niche]

which ones?

[soft locust]

its missing the paranthesis for the method params, the definition of what lowercaseInput and firstChar is, a return true case and that character thing is misplaced

[zealous niche]

is it ok if i ask questions?

[soft locust]

it looks like u went head first into a too advanced topic instead of first learning the basics

[soft locust]

that's literally what this server is for 🙂

[zealous niche]

alright thanks

[zealous niche]

ill be honest

im reaally lost when you say things as specific names

for each part

i wasnt taught with it

so i was right on the first part right?

[soft locust]

perhaps step back and learn programming with a proper resource, such as mooc

[zealous niche]

do you have a link to it?

[soft locust]

the general idea of ur code is correct. but its full with syntax errors and looks more like a draft/pseudocode than Java

MOOC is a completely free introductory Java course created by the University of Helsinki, it is a great way to learn Java from the ground up.

It consists of two parts, one at beginner, and another at intermediate level. The end of the course is marked by creating your own Asteroids game clone!

Even though the instructions show how to configure and use NetBeans for the course, you can use IntelliJ. To use IntelliJ, simply install the TMC plugin by opening IntelliJ -> File -> Settings -> Plugins and searching for TMC. You will then be able to use IntelliJ to complete MOOC.

Visit MOOC here: https://java-programming.mooc.fi/
(the course is available in both English and Finnish)

oh

[zealous niche]

thanks

cuz i was trying so desperately XD

i have an idea of things

but to many other things i have issues

its okay if i re-try to do it

and send it to you?

public class SameLetterChecker 
{
    public static boolean areAllLettersSame
    {
        for (int i = 1; i < lowercaseInput.length(); i++)
        {
          if (lowercaseInput.charAt(i) != firstChar)
         {
          return false;

}

[soft locust]

u didnt really fix any of the mentioned issues

id suggest u start with hello world and get a proper ide

it will tell u when u do mistakes

[zealous niche]

i accidentally sent it

im editing it xD

srry

[zealous niche]

the System.out.println("Hello world"); ?

[soft locust]

yeah but its way more than just that. stop doing pseudo

get a ide, put the full entire code in it and hit the run button

validate if it works or not

and if not, read the error messages

[zealous niche]

where?

[soft locust]

we recommend IntelliJ

[zealous niche]

alright lemme go for it

[soft locust]

at this point, u could also just follow mooc and learn everything by doing that

[zealous niche]

alright lemme give it a small read

im installing it

its really heavy

its taking me a while

[zealous niche]

where is the run botton?

srry im reaaally lost
