publicclass ImaginaryNumber
{
privateint a;
privateint b;
public ImaginaryNumber(int num1,int num2){
a = num1;
b = num2;
firstnumber = Integer.toString(a);
secondnumber = Integer.toString(b);
String s =new String();
s = firstnumber +"+" + secondnumber"i";
}
}
it says ';' expected, can someone tell me what's wrong, thx
ok thanks, i guess i missed that + sign
anyways, i'm stuck on something else now
public class ImaginaryNumber
{
private static int a;
private static int b;
String s = new String();
public ImaginaryNumber(int num1, int num2){
a = num1;
b = num2;
s = a + "+" + b + "i";
}
public ImaginaryNumber add(ImaginaryNumber num1, ImaginaryNumber num2){
a = a + num1;
b = b + num2;
}
[b]public ImaginaryNumber add(ImaginaryNumber num){
a = a + num;
}
public ImaginaryNumber subtract(ImaginaryNumber num1, ImaginaryNumber num2){
a = a - num1;
b = b - num2;
}
public ImaginaryNumber subtract(ImaginaryNumber num){
a = a - num;[/b]
}
public int getRealPart(){
return a;
}
public int getImaginaryPart(){
return b;
}
}
what i'm trying to do is create an overloaded method (bold) where it changes the state of an object. so if the original was something like 5 + 6i, and i called the overloaded method with (4, 5), teh value would become 9 + 11i.
any ideas?

That's well and good Supermike. You can practice and learn all you like but once you have a solution keep it to yourself. Don't post it on the net for people to copy and hand in as their own work. This is called plagiarism and you can be expelled for it.
first of all every method is suppose to have a return . you dont have nothing.for eg
public int getMax(int num, int num2)
{
int max=0;;
if num>num2
max = num1;
else
max = num2;
return max;
}
just a hint.

hmm i'm really stumped on this one. i was thinking of doing something with toString but i'm not sure.
also, i changed my code to this:
public class ImaginaryNumber
{
private static int a;
private static int b;
public ImaginaryNumber(int num1, int num2){
a = num1;
b = num2;
public String toString(){
String s = new String();
s = a + "+" + b + "i";
return s;
}
public static ImaginaryNumber add(ImaginaryNumber num1, ImaginaryNumber num2){
a = a + num1;
b = b + num2;
}
public static ImaginaryNumber add(ImaginaryNumber num){
a = a + num;
}
public static ImaginaryNumber subtract(ImaginaryNumber num1, ImaginaryNumber num2){
a = a - num1;
b = b - num2;
}
public static ImaginaryNumber subtract(ImaginaryNumber num){
a = a - num;
}
public int getRealPart(){
return a;
}
public int getImaginaryPart(){
return b;
}
}

Aigh Aigh Captain :) me gone. appologies.
i was thinking it over, and i came up with this
does this make sense/work?
public ImaginaryNumber add(ImaginaryNumber num1, ImaginaryNumber num2){
a = a + num1.getRealPart();
b = b + num2.getImaginaryPart();
}

Lol sorry dude flounder have already given you alot of hints. can't you see ? i can provide you the solution but can't do it :(. i posted a method also for you did you see my getMax method? the data type? method name? parameter type and name? and return statement?
i assume NO
ok thx, i think i see what youre getting at
i tried doing something like this
return ImaginaryNumber(a, b);
but it couldnt find ImaginaryNumber(int, int), any ideas?
EDIT:
i switched it to this:
ImaginaryNumber x = new ImaginaryNumber(a, b);
return x;
does that make sense?

NO
If you are trying to return the Object "ImaginaryNumber", then somewhere in the code you have to have For example:
public ImaginaryNumber someMethodName(ImaginaryNumber in) {
ImaginaryNumber myVarName = new ImaginaryNumber(Whatever_the_ args_are);
myVarName = ln;
//Work out your code all in here. (Whatever needs to be done)
//**
//**
return ln;
}
Notice how it returned the variable "ln" ? That is because we declared and initialized "ln" is an object of the ImaginaryNumber class.
So now our method is returning an ImaginaryNumber object.
