Hey ive been watching your videos lately on youtube about java. I am new to everything and would just like to know what is a good way to begin. I am going to college for Computer information system right now. I would like to become a Software Engineer and any advice would be great.

The first thing you try to make when you learn a new computer language is a basic calculator, right? Well, I've made many calculators and similar "softwares", but I've always had a small "error".

I set up the window with three text fields, two labels, two buttons and a list. I, also, declared three integer variables; n1, n2 and res.

Right now, you're probably like "Alright.. I cannot see a problem here", well we all know that four divided by two equals two, right? But what happens when you divide four by three? You get the result of one point three. Well, on my calculator it shows only one.

My Calculator:

NOTE: Result text field is uneditable.


Windows Calculator:


I assume you will tell me "Just change integers to doubles", but I don't want that. I want it to display any decimals except zero. Example:
4 / 2 = 2(.0) | Don't display ".0"
4 / 3 = 1(.3) | Display ".3"

The help would be highly appreciated.

Just thought that I would share this cool little snippet with you! A random color generator!

[code2=java]//This method is intended to return a random color by generating random
// R,G, and B values (from 0 to 255) using Math.random()
public Color getRandomColor()
{
int randomR = (int) (Math.random() * 256);
int randomG = (int) (Math.random() * 256);
int randomB = (int) (Math.random() * 256);

return new Color(randomR, randomG, randomB); //Return the color
}[/code2]

My laptop has been having alot of problems lately and i think its time for me to buy a new one(soon). I want a mac because then i dont have to worry about viruses. I know vb only works on windows but i heard there was a way you could use windows programs on a mac. Does anybody know about that. If i dont buy a mac i will probably buy this laptop http://www.dell.com/ca/p/laptops?fc=alie...ViewByTabs . Which one should i buy.

I've been learning gimp lately and heres one of the images i've come up with.
(even though i havnt used vb in a while i think i'll use gimp to design the look of my software)

Hey guys!

This is going to be more a less a quick news update post. BP Forums has been through its share of struggles. There is constant spam that needs to be dealt with, backups that need to be made, users that need to be pleased, and I still don't think everyone has recovered from the mass data wipe that occurred some time ago.

Fortunately, however, BP Forums has been rebuilding! We have developed a strong user base of a few people, and we are getting plenty of visitors. The most important thing is to keep content flowing. Not only does this attract new members, but it keeps the forum fun! This content doesn't have to be programming or computing related! There is an off-topic section for a reason!

With that being said, I recently upgraded all websites that are owned and operated by Brandonsoft to run on their own Virtual Private Server. This gives me complete access to everything that I would ever need as a "web-admin" while making my websites faster than ever before! Unfortunately, speed comes at a price. The VPS is not cheap. So, in order to counter the cost of this VPS, I have created a series of ads that will display on BP Forums, my business blog, and my personal blog.

If you do not want to view these ads, you may use an ad blocker. Personally, I recommend Ad Block Plus, as it has worked very well for me. However, if you would like to support this forum and help keep it running, I suggest that you don't use an ad blocker.

I am only hoping for forward motion with this forum, and together, I believe we can accomplish it! Feel free to post interesting news, reviews, questions, and solutions that you have found! Feel free to share the latest memes and jokes. Feel free to learn. Feel free to have fun.

For the past month or so I have been working on the sequel to a game that my friend and I made about 3 years back. This original game was meant to be our own rendition of the classic "Space Invaders" or "Galaga" model.

Fast forward three years: My programming skills are better than ever before and I want to make something. Why not make an upgraded version of what my friend and I created quite some time ago? So alas, Space Thrashers Y was born!

Hi all,

I just wanted to pop in here and introduce myself. I unwittingly stumbled upon Brandon's youtube channel while searching for a method. As such, I have watched many of Brandon's videos.

Hey Brandon, I hope you don't mind my popping in. I also wanted to give you a heads up that I had recoreded a new version of your VB.NET implementation and converted into C# for a posted comment inquiring about it.

I hope it was alright, not trying to step on any toe's. Just trying to pay it forward if you know what I mean. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->

Ok, this is maybe a bit too much but I want to make a program and that needs a VBS to EXE converter. I haven't found anything about that on the internet. So I was wondering if someone could help me. I know I might ask too much but you always have to try...
