Yep.
Sounds rubbish.
I'll take it off your hands for you...no, no problem, no need to thank me!

It seems many of us here are equally curious about this video discrepancy.

I went back and watched the seconds leading up to my screenshot.
Specifically at 5:15 and noticed something very interesting.

The video resolution theory can be shot right out of the water now.

The instructor types 'num1 =' and then immediately after that backspaces to delete the
equals sign.

That has nothing whatsoever to do with video resolution.
That sequence of events and the equals sign is clear as day.

Immediately after that backspace, she hits the spacebar twice before entering
Float.parseFloat()...

Can anyone else verify this?

What I see is the instructor typing num1 -, realizing her mistake, backspacing, and typing num1 =.

None of this conversation is improving my opinion of video tutorials in the programming world.

Same here.

I have to agree with that, I watched a couple of video tutorials, seemed a total waste of time.

Yes I would agree, it makes the most sense that she backspaced to delete the - sign and replaced it with the = sign since they sit right next to each other on the keyboard, and one could easily type the - instead of the =.

The poor Youtube resolution would explain why I thought it was an = sign rather than a - sign that she deleted.

But what I still don't understand is why I can't see anything she types immediately after deleting the - sign, but some of you folks here do?

A little more detective work might help us.

On the (source) page Netbeans Introduction to GUI Building page that she refers to throughout the video Netbeans
when you scroll down you see :

num1 = Float.parseFloat(jTextField1.getText());
num2 = Float.parseFloat(jTextField2.getText());
// Now we can perform the addition.
result = num1+num2;

however in the video I can only see the first = sign.
The other two are missing on my screen.

Do you see all three in the video?

[Knute Snortum]

Do you see all three in the video?

Yes.

[Liutauras Vilda]

As I said earlier, I think it is down to the region which resolution is being distributed to youtube channel. I'm getting also only poor quality, while it is clearly seen that Knute's provided screenshot is sharp.
On the other youtube video's I have no issues of seeing "=" and getting high resolution video's.

She isn't exactly following the Netbeans example .... but ... yes, her Java code is valid.
