EMAIL

I am having trouble submitting my exercises to the nitpick group. My email client is netscape messenger and it is putting >> symbols on each line. Does anyone know what to do about this?

Hi, JD. Welcome to JavaRanch and welcome to the CattleDrive.

Are you typing your code directly into Netscape Messenger or are you doing a cut and paste from an editor? If cut and paste, which editor?

When do the >>'s show up? When the nitpicker receives the assignment or when it is returned to you?

I cut and paste. I am not sure what editor. And I don't see the << until I get the email back and the nitpicker complained about them. I would like to get this resolved because it is holding me up from moving on.

You create your program (in notepad?). You compile your program. It runs correctly, so you copy and paste it into netscape messenger and send it off to be nitpicked.

Am I right so far?

The nitpicker sends it back with comments. Your stuff has

> class Hundred

etc and the nitpicker comments don't.

When you make the suggested changes, do you compile and run the code again, copy and paste the new code into netscape messenger and send back the revised assignment, or do you just hit the reply button and only make the changes in the email copy?

Most email clients, (including netscape, outlook express, yahoo) will add >'s in front of the original text you are replying to.

This is a good thing for nitpickers, because it makes our comments stand out from the code and be easier to see.

Yes, that is what I did, I cut and paste from notepad and emailed off, then, I made the changes in email because they were just spacing and indentation corrections. Next time I will make them in notepad and then cut and paste to email. Thanks.
