[safe cave]

<@&987246487241105418> please have a look, thanks.

[safe cave]

I uploaded your attachments as Gist.

[pliant oyster]

might help to mention where and what method as its not 'small' code

[jaunty peak]

uhh its the login method and the authenticate method that im having issues with when i uhh change the field to id instead of username

[pliant oyster]

team work or gpt ?

[jaunty peak]

if u want the other classes i can post them

[jaunty peak]

nah just me nd a friend lol

i asked chatgpt and it barely made 50 lines of some nonsense

[pliant oyster]

got the account class aswell ?

[jaunty peak]

gimme a sec

[safe cave]

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.

public class Account {
    private String name;
    private int id;
    private int password;

    public Account(String name, int id, int password) {
        this.name = name;
        this.id = id;
        this.password = password;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public int getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public int getPassword() {
        return password;
    }

    public void setPassword(int password) {
        this.password = password;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return name + " (ID: " + id + ")";
    }
}```

[pliant oyster]

well u got a getId so use that

[jaunty peak]

i tried to but the authenticate method isnt accepting it somehow
gimme a sec to show u

[pliant oyster]

account.getId(Integer.parseInt( ..... should do it , same as your password

[pliant oyster]

get I d

not lowercase

[jaunty peak]

yeye my bad

[errant narwhal]

.equals(id) id isn't a variable

[pliant oyster]

now parse the text to int

[jaunty peak]

gimme a sec

[pliant oyster]

same as u did with the passwprd

[jaunty peak]

to try

[whole light]

Wait your password can only be a number?

[jaunty peak]

ye the prof doesnt mind

i asked him

[errant narwhal]

then maybe change the variable to passcode

[jaunty peak]

ye lol

[pliant oyster]

also 1 tiny thing u might want to reflect on. On your system, everyone has admin rights by default ?

normally its the inverse. Only a few get admin rights and the rest are normal users

[jaunty peak]

did i do it wrong?

[pliant oyster]

its a method, not a variable

and getId needs to change in username

[jaunty peak]

the system has two users employees and an admin if u log in as an employee u get a diff java frame so technically u have the perms but nowhere to use them

[pliant oyster]

your feeding in username, password

so either refactor those to match, or match the variables

[jaunty peak]

i just noticed im sorry

[errant narwhal]

that's like giving a murderous criminal a knife but not putting any humans near them to use it on. The moment a human gets in it's range all hell breaks loose

[whole light]

You should also clean up your class a bit, there's a lot going in one class. It has a very strong openAI vibe.

[pliant oyster]

and if u seen exeptions, use them instead of return null

[jaunty peak]

well the lazy friend gave me almost all the work lol

ill try to clean up

[pliant oyster]

my very question :p

the lazy friend did do the effort to open a browser to generate some code 😉

[whole light]

Group project = shared responsibility.

[pliant oyster]

pointers keep coming, line 172 on the gist ( for lab lab : labs ... ), servers no point

unless your filling all your labs with null, u do not need the check

( and not to mention its double but that might be a c&p error )

[errant narwhal]

Objects default to null if not initialized

[pliant oyster]

shoudlnt be in the collection then if its nothing

unless your doing 1 wacky assigment where u have to mix arrays and lists, refactor your code

[whole light]

I'd also reconsider the way you store your output, that's really not a convenient manner.

[pliant oyster]

(These are not points to put the code down, but to improve on your skills )

[jaunty peak]

ye lol its still not finished im trying as fast as i can but most probs i search for are hard to implement into the code bc of the methods i imported from my frind i might just remove them and tell the prof to seperate us but thats too much of a headache+drama

[pliant oyster]

u can ask your friend to revise them 🙂

[jaunty peak]

i genuinely dont get it whats wrong(bear in my mind this is on me as i volunteered for an extracurricular be4 even finishing java 200 course)

[errant narwhal]

SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
        new ReservationSystemGUI();
    }
});```
you can rewrite this as
```java
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(() -> new ReservationSystemGUI());

[jaunty peak]

i think hes using copilot

any eror i ask him abt in his methods

[pliant oyster]

doesnt matter how he / she generated it

[jaunty peak]

he sends completely diff ones

[errant narwhal]

you don't need to parseInt an int

in fact you can't

[jaunty peak]

it fa285 who suggested that unless i understood them wrong

[pliant oyster]

dont try to go to fast

your guessing as bad as your teammate

your method has 2 variables, both STRING

so u need to check on your account.getId a parsed version of one of those strings

so its like K said. Your on the correct path, but u do not need to parse the Account's return type, only the variable coming from String type

so ( but in code ) account.getId() is equal to the converted text of id

[jaunty peak]

like this

oh my god

it worked

[pliant oyster]

check it a few times more to be certain, but in some cases that might work

[jaunty peak]

man the prof said the requirement is finishing java 201 & i havent finished 200 yet i shouldve probs listened to him

i need to train more and probably kick my teammate

[pliant oyster]

no need to kick

enlighten him / her , like Simon mentiond, its a shared responsabilty

both either fail or pass

[errant narwhal]

did you change getId() to return a string?

[jaunty peak]

yes

[errant narwhal]

ok

[jaunty peak]

thank u for telling me

[jaunty peak]

ill try to talk to him tmrw

[pliant oyster]

also tell him, that u asked advice here and that everyone saw that the code was generated 😉

so your prof will aswell

[jaunty peak]

also another friend said im stupid for not using netbeans' gui form designer and that i wasted time coding by hand

[jaunty peak]

oh ye im telling them both i dont want any slander on my name

[pliant oyster]

not stupid, but there is a point there. Code a gui by hand a few times. Then make life easier

[jaunty peak]

is that how most ppl do?

+did u try lua's love2d for GUIs?

[pliant oyster]

most people have migrated to javaFx and the answer will depend on what gui it has to be

couple simple popups, most likely by hand

anything that needs to look 'alright' and more , with editors as they are faster, easier to see what your doing ( remember the term WYSIWYG ? ) )

[jaunty peak]

that makes sense ye

thank u both @pliant oyster @errant narwhal i hope i didnt waste ur time by taking a proj i was suited for fully

[pliant oyster]

u didnt, and your doing it anyhow, so u ARE suited

[errant narwhal]

np, I was literally sitting in my chair waiting for things to help out with

[jaunty peak]

is there a way to display it visually or will i have to restructure it completely to be accepted by netbeans

[pliant oyster]

the inbuild netbeans editor use some sort of form to create it so from 0. U can however tie in your methods once its created

[jaunty peak]

ye ur right i need to clean up the code anyway

so y not
