[strange pendant]

different to what?

[hallow quiver]

ok ok

so i want the method of calorie

to be called like used right its giving me an error because calorie is taken as a double

instead of a string

[hallow quiver]

.

i want the method of calorie

to be used

but it wont allow it

because its a double

anyway i can change that

[strange pendant]

what is a string?

[hallow quiver]

should i just send the rror

error

[strange pendant]

No, we know what's the error

We don't understand what's blocking you from fixing it

[hallow quiver]

the way ive been using it has been working plus im eleventh grade so they havent really taught me the way u guys would call it

[hallow quiver]

idk how

[strange pendant]

So, the method requires a double

[hallow quiver]

yea

[strange pendant]

One would expect that to call it right, you need to give it a double

[hallow quiver]

it does

have a double

ye

alright i understand that ok let me just give u like a mini explanation on why it wasnt working for me if thats fine

calorie is being called here right

but the problem is i want the calorie method to run after asking the question on whether they want to know they're calorie deficit

what i intially did was

i have 4 other methods and what i did was ask the question after each method

but that didnt work out

so what i thought was why not make the question its own method

and try to make it run calorie

but it wouldnt work and i had no idea like what to do

ye

[strange pendant]

(....... Because that's what Scanner.nextDouble() does?)

[hallow quiver]

wait

[strange pendant]

..... Does it look to you like it doesn't work?

[hallow quiver]

if i do use that would i still be able to like activate the calorie method thing

[strange pendant]

I think we're derailing

[hallow quiver]

ye

[strange pendant]

That "first of all" was weird, I don't see why one would say that

So, you told us a story and all, but that story was fairly useless

[hallow quiver]

my fault

[strange pendant]

The method calorie requires a double so you must call it with a double

That is all

[hallow quiver]

i cant try and make it ask the question or anything

[strange pendant]

What question?

Just simply say what's your problem

[hallow quiver]

i want to use the calorie method but like how would i if im not doing something to like activate it

[strange pendant]

Ah you will have to do something like activating it, yes

Something like calorie(2.5), as was said

[hallow quiver]

wdym

[strange pendant]

just that. Instead of calorie(), calorie(2.5)

[hallow quiver]

yea

[strange pendant]

that's all

[hallow quiver]

is there like anyhting special with the numbers

[strange pendant]

5 is kind of rude, but 2 is a nice bloke

[hallow quiver]

theres one more thing

i'd like to ask

actually nvm so the code or the method will activate if i use the number right

[strange pendant]

sounds like it

[hallow quiver]

ok lemme test this out thx

i got a whole new problem now

😭

my code is supposed to run the other methods but it just skips to the calorie method

it doesnt even ask the question method

nvm fixed it thx a lot
