I was trying this question saying to write a function that generated cubes between S and
N. Could anyone just explain what I done wrongl tried my best with this question and took my time with it. I was guessing it was nested for loops but then I failed with trying to make it work. Now I only left it as one loop and tried to make sense of it but then its asking me to return a String since thats the return type of the method. Any help I would be thankful

little sun
why do you set S = 0?
you should introduce a loop variable that starts at S
also you need to accumulate the results
stray quest
mind sharing the error message with us? humans are bad compilers and i cant spot the issue right away
little sun
and not return in the first loop cycle
pulsar iron
else is unnecessary here btw
stray quest
oh, ur missing a return in all cases

You are early enough in your journey that it might be worth it to learn things a bit more deeply

Yhh I done that before I set i = S but I kept on getting an error saying i is unspecified
little sun
int i = S;

Ok ill open it again
pulsar iron
why did u set the S in the for loop? or why did u set it out of it?
wraith wolf
Also strong recommendation to not use AI at all
pulsar iron
why do you return if S is smaller than 0 when u set it to 0 anyways?
arctic quartz
Also strong recommendation to not use AI at all
True but is it ok if I use it to generate me practice questions for my programming exam
wraith wolf

No
arctic quartz
Oh
wraith wolf
Like okay let me justify that
You are currently not at the point where what you need is practice problems
You have a weak understanding of both mechanics and how to write software
arctic quartz
why do you return if S is smaller than 0 when u set it to 0 anyways?
Hmm ur right
wraith wolf
And in general AI is playing with fire. There are practice problems out there when you need them
pulsar iron
Hmm ur right
if you are using an integer in a for loop, you can define it within the for loop, and absolutely no need to define it outside the class. make it into a local variable instead
arctic quartz
Is the for loop okay now
little sun
no
wraith wolf
No
little sun
you return after the first cycle
wraith wolf
Also there is the snipping tool for taking screenshots
little sun
so the loop does not loop
wraith wolf
You don't need to use your phone
little sun
also i = S, not 0, you want the first cube to be S
arctic quartz
also i = S, not 0, you want the first cube to be S
Yes yes
wraith wolf
Genuine advice is to stop and go back to basics

Alright brother
wraith wolf
You aren't ready for this problem yet
arctic quartz
Ill revise loops again

Why is it Minecraft tho

dont matter

I am biased because I wrote it, but use that first link I sent
arctic quartz
Cool
arctic quartz
Definitely

I'm not as biased, but I'd also recommend that path (having clicked through two or three of those videos).
