Thanx Is
I appreciate ur response but I don't think that has any relation with printer driver. B'coz I want to display on the screen and anyway I can take the printout of the file in which the characters r stored. But the problem remains the same that's via System.out.println() the desired o/p is not coming.
Bye

hi
First of all u can't write
java Hello.class
for the reason that it'll then search for "Hello/class" class file.
Then check for the place from where ur friend is loading the class file. Or what u can do is add the current dir. in the classpath i.e from where the class ur loading. U can write
set classpath=%classpath%;.;
Bye

Thanx Matts Thanx Jim
I tried Matts' code and it runs perfectly alright and displayed me the char values between 128-159. But it is not clear to me that when I displayed that in the SOP it gives the same old o/p. Why?
Jim as u said these r not printable characters then how is it able to save in the file?

------------------

Thanx Jim
Can u tell me how to install the unicode characters so that I can get the those char values.
Thanx in advance

java classfilename
I think this will solve ur problem

Hi Helmut
What u can do is import that package in ur program ,define the classpath for the jar files. This way u will be able to access any class of that package.

Hi Angela
In simple terms,passing by Reference means passing the address of the object and any change there would make the change of value at that address directly.So no return value is needed.
On the other hand passing by value means passing the value placed at that address so change in the value do not affect the value placed at that address. So u need to return the value to get the changed value.
I think this would help u.

Hi
ya its necessary to precede with 'static' to make a block static. Otherwise its a non-static block that executes only when a constructor is called i.e when an instance is created. When a class is executed the flow is something like this
static block->non-static block->constructor
static block always executed on the loading of class.
class DemoStatic
{
static
{
System.out.println("static");
}
{
System.out.println("non-static");
}
DemoStatic()
{
System.out.println("constructor");
}
public static void main(String a[])
{
new DemoStatic();
}
}
I think this will help u to see the difference.

Hi Indira
I'm sending u this code that will surely help u to see that how the capacity of vector inc. at runtime. One thing I want to point out is that anything that is done with objects is at runtime and not at compile time.
import java.util.*;
class DemoVector
{

Vector v=null;
public static void main(String args[])
{
DemoVector d=new DemoVector();

d.v=new Vector(2,2); // will inc. by 2 automatically
System.out.println("size:"+d.v.size());
System.out.println("capacity:"+d.v.capacity());
d.v.addElement("pankaj");
System.out.println("size:"+d.v.size());
System.out.println("capacity:"+d.v.capacity());
d.v.addElement("bansal");
System.out.println("size:"+d.v.size());
System.out.println("capacity:"+d.v.capacity());
// You can use in this way
d.addToVector(d,"Prateek");
System.out.println("size:"+d.v.size());
System.out.println("capacity:"+d.v.capacity());

}
void addToVector(DemoVector d,String s)
{
d.v.addElement(s);// capacity of vector will inc at run time

}

}

Hi
The would say that granularity of code is directly related to modularity in coding.But it has a broad meaning when related to the whole application i.e the optimized code, less memory leakage, granularity in comments and many more..
The second query that u have asked is about vectors.
See, vectors have the capabilty to increase their capacity at run time automatically and developers don't have to worry about the size of vector as in the case of array. That's why u can add the objects in it at compile time as well as at run time without bothering of the size of vector.
I think this would help u.
