Hi nerd, geek and outsiders I'm on about 330 page of Head First Java. By definition, the first two numbers in the Fibonacci sequence are 0 and 1, and each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two. So it goes like this: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21... And I've got a problem. Big problem. Everything is compiling, but when I'm tring to run it, I get a long, long error. Like this: http://www.bankfotek.pl/image/1328623.jpeg

What's wrong? Here is the code http://pastebin.com/XNmRqVBV

Have fun looking for defect

PS. Sorry for polish names of class and methods.

Well, this is a messy code...

Are all the classes in the same package?
Note that I'm not paying attention to the logic of this code, or what it's supposed to do... Just to your exception message.

And again - are they all in the same package?
If they are, are you sure you have .class (compiled) files of other classes you use (in this case, you're missing petla)?

uggh...it doesn't do much good to use code tags if your code isn't properly formatted. what's with the no indentation?

is your CLASSPATH set to something, and if so, what?

Did all these files compile cleanly? Where are they all located (same folder, different folders, etc)?

lista1 contains 3 values (indexed 0, 1, 2), but you're trying to access value at index 3.

Is it really a goal to calculate a Fibonacci number here? Because you can do it in couple of lines of code that are pretty straightforward.

No it isn't. It's precisely how most of us did it.

Just want to do it. Steve Wozniak was starting in this way


Don't worry about who did it; just DO it. And what I'd suggest you do first is get out a pencil and paper, and read through your program.
  • What does it do?
  • What do you want it to do?
  • What's the difference?

  • Programming is thinking, NOT coding.

    Yeah! I got it! It was all about that calling of method petla(.....) was giving wrong arguments (2 and 3), and the cells collected form the table were wrong. The correct answer was giving arguments like 1 and 2, whitch were writed in int f and int r. Thank you all for time

    At least those were meaningful names. What you should really be sorry for is the names like "a" and "v" which mean nothing and make it harder to understand the code. So for example you could assign them the wrong values and not notice you had done that.

    So short names for variable of small scope can be OK for me like "k" for key and "v" for value.
    Who knows what "a" and "v" stand for in Polish?

    I am sure one could find a plethora of Polish words beginning with "a" or "v" ...

    a = and ?

    I don't know about the others, but I always name classes, methods, variables, ..., in English, even though it's not my native language. I think it's a good practice, since you can't know in advance who might need to take a look at your code, are you going to publish something online, etc. If necessary, I put documentation in Serbian (my native) but the naming is always in English.

    Would you say that the fact that you write Serbian in the Cyrillic character set makes it more important for you to do that? Seems to me that calling a method "getИме" would be much more inconvenient than calling it "getName", for example, just because it's harder to type. Whereas Polish doesn't have that problem.

    Actually it is the same for me.
    A sidenote: AFAIK Serbian is written either with Cyrillic or with Latin letters. My mother tongue, Hungarian, is written with Latin letters. But there are many accented letters beyond the English alphabet: áéíóúöőüű
    For example: árvíztűrő üvegfúró ("floodresistant glassdrill").

    Anyway, if someone started programming earlier, in good old Cobol, Fortran or C days, one had no choice to use but ascii characters in the names. This was a kind of invitation to use English variable and function names. I still practice this even though in Java accented letters are allowed in the names.

    Why do you have to be old to code in those languages? For example, I coded in C, well, last week. And I have a friend who coded in Cobol only 5 years ago -- okay, to be more exact, it was CICS code with portions in Cobol.

    As Ivan Jozsef Balazs said, Serbian can be written in both Cyrillic and Latin (yeah, we are the only one in Europe that can do that :)), so you can write getIme instead of getName, or getIznos instead of getAmount. But I already stated why I practice to use English for naming in my code.

    I agree with that, I've done C/C++ for 2 years at University, even though one might think these are outdated.

    I avoid participating in such discussions anymore, because it is usually started by those without arguments to support their claim. They've just heard it somewhere else, found out that C appeared in the 70's and that's it - they claim it's outdated. Those claims remind me of ones I hear in discussions C# vs. Java, or Microsoft vs. Apple, again with not many arguments to support one or the other side. It's just funny to watch/listen it and not get involved.

    My writing "good old Cobol, Fortran or C days" was not intended to suggest these languages' being outdated. But their relative importance diminished and these days now are rather Java than, say, Cobol ones.

    I have an ex-class-mate who still does Cobol and PL-I. When I started, it was *the* programming language (and environment if we consider things like index-sequential files) supported on many systems. And when there was a porting project to Unix with C (and Cobol too), it was a revelation for me to meet C (and Unix by the way) which I got to like very much and also C's descendants (C++, Java). But all this does not imply these languages are obsolete or gone.
