<@&987246399047479336> please have a look, thanks.

[crimson spear]

the 3 pictures i have sent on my issues that are coming out

[night gull]

could u please give a quick explanation of the task and guide us through ur code? also please post the code as formatted code block with syntax highlighting and elaborate on what's unclear to u in particular

[crimson spear]

yes

i can send you the code

import java.util.Scanner;

public class TwoNumbers
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

  int a;
  int b;

  System.out.println("Enter two positive integers, the first smaller than the second.");

    do {
        System.out.print("First: ");
        a = in.nextInt();
        System.out.print("Second: ");
        b = in.nextInt();

        if (a >= b) {
            System.out.println("Invalid input. The first number must be smaller than the second. Please try again.");
        }
    } while (a >= b);
  // This line should only be printed when the input is correct
  System.out.println("You entered " + a + " and " + b);

}
}

[golden bane]

comparison yields wrong output

Changed the title to comparison yields wrong output.

Please use this format for posting code:

```java
// Example java program
int value = 5;
System.out.println(value);
```

Which results in:

// Example java program
int value = 5;
System.out.println(value);

For syntax highlighting, you have to add the name of the language after the three backticks, like ```java. Please make sure to use exactly this format, so no space between the backticks and the language name, and a newline before the code starts. If done right, the syntax highlighting will even be applied to your text as you type, before sending.

oh

[night gull]

1. could u please give a quick explanation of the task
2. and guide us through ur code?
3. also please post the code as formatted code block with syntax highlighting
4. and elaborate on what's unclear to u in particular

u have a tendency to only read half of whats been asked

once u addresses all 4 items, people will be able to help u 🙂

[crimson spear]

import java.util.Scanner;

public class TwoNumbers {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

    int a;
    int b;

    boolean validInput = false; // This boolean variable is used to control the loop

    while (!validInput) {
        System.out.println("Enter two positive integers, the first smaller than the second.");
        System.out.print("First: ");
        a = in.nextInt();
        System.out.print("Second: ");
        b = in.nextInt();

        validInput = (a < b); // Check if the first number is smaller than the second

        if (!validInput) {

        }
    }

    System.out.println("You entered " + a + " and " + b);
}

}

code issues

i am looking at where i did wrong

i am not now sure what i did wrong

it wants a code

[night gull]

please do the 4 things i asked u to do

ur just ignoring it

[crimson spear]

i see it

i am not ignoring it

[night gull]

okay. so lets start with point 1.

explain the task. what are u supposed to solve/do

[crimson spear]

The Scanner class is used to take input from the user.
Two integer variables a and b are declared to store the user's input.
The boolean variable validInput is initialized to false to control the loop.
The do-while loop continues until validInput becomes true.
Inside the loop, the user is prompted to enter two positive integers with specific messages for "First:" and "Second:".
The validInput is set to true if the condition (a < b) is satisfied, meaning the first number is smaller than the second.
If the input is not valid, an error message is displayed, and the loop continues.
Once a valid input is provided, the loop exits, and the entered values are displayed.
Regarding the error:

The error you encountered (variable a might not have been initialized and variable b might not have been initialized) occurs because the compiler cannot guarantee that variables a and b have been assigned values before their use in the System.out.println statement. To resolve this, you can either initialize a and b with default values when declaring them or use a do-while loop instead of a while loop to ensure they are assigned values within the loop.

[night gull]

that sounds like u asked chatgpt to solve ur issue and explain ur code

[crimson spear]

yeah but i still don't get it

[night gull]

1. could u please give a quick explanation of the task
2. and guide us through ur code?
3. also please post the code as formatted code block with syntax highlighting
4. and elaborate on what's unclear to u in particular

once u did that, we will help u

[crimson spear]

About the Error:
The computer sometimes gets worried that we are using the numbers a and b in the last sentence before the person has even given us any numbers. We need to convince the computer that we will only use a and b after we are sure the person has given us the right kind of numbers. We do this by using a special loop called do-while.

[night gull]

ill just stop responding until u did all 4 things now.

[mighty olive]

and use your own words , not some copy paste from the assignment

[crimson spear]

We use a special tool called Scanner to talk to the person using our program.
We have two boxes (a and b) to keep the numbers that the person types.
We also have a special switch (validInput) that helps us decide if the numbers are correct or not.
We use a special loop called do-while to keep asking for numbers until they give us the right ones.
Inside the loop, we ask for the first number, then the second number.
We check if the first number is smaller than the second. If it is, we say everything is good by turning on the validInput switch.
If the numbers are not right, we say that and keep asking again.
Once the person finally gives us the right numbers, we exit the loop and tell them what they entered.

[crimson spear]

who are you again? hi

[crimson spear]

i have anwered 4

of ur questions

[night gull]

u did not.

[crimson spear]

i did

look at it

[night gull]

i did look at it. I'm reading all ur messages

[crimson spear]

okie

i really help with this code

why do i have repeat my self lol

[night gull]

i know. that's why im offering u my help. after u did the 4 steps

u did none of them so far

[crimson spear]

i did

bro

i have answered it

never mind

[mighty olive]

cause your very unclear and your refusing to actually read anything. Even your own error screen which has the actual solution

[crimson spear]

i will answer it again

[golden ermine]

that's one of the most ridiculous asking for help i've ever seen

desbribe the problem with your own words, so that you can also understand it and paste a FORMATTED code, not just pasted in plain text because it looks like shit

[night gull]

i get ur frustration, but please remain friendly. also acknowledge a certain language barrier here

thanks

[crimson spear]

i wrote everything man

people that just texted are rude

[night gull]

lets do it together, step by step

[crimson spear]

yes

[night gull]

step one, please explain me what ur task is about

[crimson spear]

ok

the task i need a code for this

[night gull]

what is "this"?

[crimson spear]

and i wrote my code down

i sent the picture and everything

[night gull]

does ur code have to compute a + b?

[crimson spear]

yes

[night gull]

so ur supposed to add two numbers together?

[crimson spear]

when i runed it it gave me an error

[night gull]

or multiply them?

[crimson spear]

yes

add

[night gull]

or divide them?

okay

so if i enter 3 and 7, u have to output 10?

[crimson spear]

boolean validInput = false;

    while (!validInput) {
        System.out.println("Enter two positive integers, the first smaller than the second.");
        System.out.print("First: ");
        a = in.nextInt();
        System.out.print("Second: ");
        b = in.nextInt();

        validInput = (a < b);

        if (!validInput) {
            System.out.println("Invalid input. The first number must be smaller than the second. Please try again.");
        }
    }

this is what i wrote just now

for that

[night gull]

that code doesn't add two numbers together

[crimson spear]

and i got an error

[night gull]

u just said ur supposed to add two numbers. ur code doesn't add two numbers at all

could u please stop doing random stuff

stick with me

[crimson spear]

ok ok sorry

[night gull]

read what i say, respond to what i say

[crimson spear]

yeah

[crimson spear]

i am sorry

[night gull]

are u sure u have to add two numbers?

[crimson spear]

Complete this program, prompting the user to enter two positive numbers a and b so that a is less than b.

[night gull]

i know, i can read that myself

i feel like u don't understand the task. so ur not supposed to add two numbers together at all

[crimson spear]

i have make it less then b

[crimson spear]

yeah

[night gull]

anyways. next step. please post ur code as formatted text with syntax highlighting

heres how to do it :

[golden bane]

Please use this format for posting code:

```java
// Example java program
int value = 5;
System.out.println(value);
```

Which results in:

// Example java program
int value = 5;
System.out.println(value);

For syntax highlighting, you have to add the name of the language after the three backticks, like ```java. Please make sure to use exactly this format, so no space between the backticks and the language name, and a newline before the code starts. If done right, the syntax highlighting will even be applied to your text as you type, before sending.

zabuzard • used /tag id: code · Jan 12, 2024, 3:16 PM

[crimson spear]

yeah i know

but i don't know what to i am confused

[night gull]

what's unclear to u

i can't help u if all u say is "im confused"

confused on what exactly?

what can i explain in more detail to help u?

[crimson spear]

😕

[mighty olive]

what do u not understand about the last thing ?

[crimson spear]

The error message you are seeing is because the variables a and b might not have been initialized before they are used in the System.out.println statement. This error occurs when we declare a variable without initializing it

[mighty olive]

the last thing Zabuzard asked from u. Please try to respond to the questions and not do random things

[crimson spear]

my question is from only from me to you why you blocked me

[mighty olive]

It might feel weird, but its yourself that it blocking yourself from getting help, if u can be clear and try to respond in normal matter, this issue could of been solved more then an hour ago

[crimson spear]

you are also a bot

pfft

[night gull]

please post ur code as formatted text with syntax highlighting
ive explained how to do it here:
#1195379743013482626 message

[crimson spear]

i am looking at it

[mighty olive]

i'm not a bot, i just do not respond well to the things u said on your other topic ...

[night gull]

well. if u continue behaving like this, u will be kicked out and not get help at all

is that really what u want?

[crimson spear]

// Example java program
int value = 5;
System.out.println(value); idk where this goes

[night gull]

ur missing the backticks and everything

read the message fully

[tired ingot]

please just answer like Zabuzard requested

[crimson spear]

well they blocked me for no reason

and i wanted to know why

thats all

they don't have to be rude

[tired ingot]

Because you're making it very hard to help you

[night gull]

the reason is clearly u being unfriendly to people trying to help u in their free time

[crimson spear]

i am looking at it

[tired ingot]

just wrap your code in a code block as requested

[crimson spear]

thats not an answer

[mighty olive]

nah he was rather very rude in his other topic so. Well ...

[crimson spear]

oh ok

[crimson spear]

you and i just met

[night gull]

people can block u as they want. especially if they see u being rude to someone else

[tired ingot]

it is very much an answer. People here try to help those they can, and help us help them. But in case someone is rude, and just stubbornly refusing helping hands/requests...

[mighty olive]

https://i.imgur.com/8JTNWU1.png

that's the reason. My choice to block, your choice to respond like that. Things will happen that u do not like

also doesnt mean that your blocked that i'm not reading your messeges...

[crimson spear]

she is starting problems bro @night gull

can you remove her i want to forcus on my code error please

[night gull]

u asked why they blocked u and they responded

[crimson spear]

yes

[night gull]

but i get that u want to get back on the problem. so let's do that

[crimson spear]

yes

im not sure what ur trying to tell me with that

[crimson spear]

i still need help

[tired ingot]

please read what the bot says...

[crimson spear]

i was trying the bot out

[night gull]

then please post the code proper

[tired ingot]

it really isn't that hard

[night gull]

please post ur code as formatted text with syntax highlighting
ive explained how to do it here:

[crimson spear]

yes

[night gull]

three backticks, java, newline, code, newline, three backticks

[golden ermine]

Paste your code between three backticks

Two blocks of triple backticks

And your code between them

[mighty olive]

would the backtick actually be on other language's keyboard ?

[tired ingot]

yes

[crimson spear]

i read this

[night gull]

so please do what it explains

```java
code here
```

[golden bane]

Of course! I'll do my best to assist you. Could you please provide more details about the error you are experiencing? Additionally, if you can share the code or the specific error message, it would be helpful in understanding the issue and providing a solution.

[crimson spear]

yes

[tired ingot]

and worst case you copy/paste or remap. I mean my current keyboard has a broken T key 😛

[night gull]

please stop using the chatgpt command. it won't help u here

it only interrupts our conversation

It's not hard to do:

[golden ermine]

Write this

Send a message containing ```java

please remain friendly. if u don't want to help anymore, bc its unpleasant, just leave the discussion or block the user. better than being mad at them. someone else might have the patience to assist. thanks

[crimson spear]

its not letting me paste it

[golden ermine]

So write it by yourself

Three backticks and Word java

[mighty olive]

if u type the last image as text in here it should appear as code and then all u have to do is insert the proper code

[crimson spear]

yeah it is

but i am still getiing errors

[mighty olive]

might i infom what your language is?

[crimson spear]

english

[mighty olive]

right , then its not some auto translate problem

[crimson spear]

nope

[mighty olive]

can u insert your code formatted in the correct way please

[crimson spear]

i understand you

[crimson spear]

i did that

[mighty olive]

like others have said, the issue is resolved in less then a minute if u take the time to paste it properly

[crimson spear]

scroll up

[mighty olive]

test

[crimson spear]

oh i have to put test

in the front

[mighty olive]

if u tried the image like i've shown u would have made a code block

then all u had to do was replace the test with the actual code

[crimson spear]

so its 3 tiks and test?

[golden bane]

Please use this format for posting code:

```java
// Example java program
int value = 5;
System.out.println(value);
```

Which results in:

// Example java program
int value = 5;
System.out.println(value);

For syntax highlighting, you have to add the name of the language after the three backticks, like ```java. Please make sure to use exactly this format, so no space between the backticks and the language name, and a newline before the code starts. If done right, the syntax highlighting will even be applied to your text as you type, before sending.

[mighty olive]

right, before this is getting to silly. Do u see the a and b u declared ?

 int a;
int b;

those

do u see them ?

[crimson spear]

yes

[mighty olive]

ok, the problem is that u did not initialize them, hence they cannot be used

so u need to place a default value in them to be initialized

[crimson spear]

yeah ik

[mighty olive]

that's your problem.

it even sais so on the actual error messege, so it's always wise to read those

[crimson spear]

iok

<@&272766283597217802>

i got one part correct

the other 2 are wrong

[tired ingot]

please use code blocks, and don't randomly ping moderators

and the testcases also say where the issue lies.

you do not have enough validation

[night gull]

please dont ping the mods unless u have sth that requires attention by a moderator, thank you

[crimson spear]

i do

i am getting errrors

please look above

what i sent

[night gull]

yeah, but the moderators are not there for assisting u with ur code issues

[crimson spear]

i know but

[night gull]

they are there for protecting u if someone is rude to u or otherwise conflicts the rules

so please dont abuse this ping

its like calling the police

[crimson spear]

yeah yeah

[night gull]

in fact, our telephones ring and we rush to the computer when u do that

[tired ingot]

Also this is not a code error, you're literally missing code. You haven't implemented the requested validation. CFR #rules not doing your homework for you.

[crimson spear]

i am looking at the issue

[crimson spear]

don't give me that

[tired ingot]

don't give you what?

[crimson spear]

the rule show case

i have seen the rules

[tired ingot]

<@&272766283597217802> this does seem an apt ping?

And you were wondering why people blocked you earlier, this seems like a good showcase.. I am trying to help, and point out where the issue lies.

[crimson spear]

if you don't want to help then go

its fine pal

[mighty olive]

@tired ingot screenshot fast; things are not written in stone on discord 😉

[crimson spear]

wow

@tired ingot i did nothing to you bro

i read the rules ok

and i am looking at the code

there isn't a problem between us

i know i am doing the work on my own

[tired ingot]

eh, he already edited it. He's seemingly just ignoring them if he actually read them. One can only lead a horse to water as the proverb goes.

you are nosy @mighty olive

@night gull help here

[crimson spear]

i seen it

[open path]

Why did I got mentionned 4 times ?

[tired ingot]

I think not you specifically, rather your purpleness
