integers and arrays in Java - how?

[Robert Baer]

I used Google and found some references for integer in Java.
But "int" not only does not work, it also prevents reading X and Y
coordinates of the mouse.
What i would like to do:
1) Get X and Y mouse coordinates into a variable that i can do real math on.
So far, i can do math on the values "read" and that result goes into
a "variable" that is useful *only* for display.
If i try "int" in that math, the values are then zero for everything
- even those where i do no calculation.
2) Use the calculated integer values as an index to a table or array.
It is acceptable to use an HTML "table" as the source for the lookup;
W(CalcFromX) and P(CalcFromX) would be the resulting values to be
displayed on the screen somewhere.

Can this be done, and eXactly how?

I didn't understand your question at all. Perhaps you can post an SSCCE?

Be sure to specify what results you expected your program to produce,
and what results you actually got, and how they differed.

I'm taking a broad guess here, seeing as how your description is
vague, but...what you probably want is something along the lines of
this:

public MyClass implements MouseMotionListener {

// constructors and other methods...

// MouseMotionListener methods
public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {
Point p = e.getPoint();
doSomeCalculation(p);
}

public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
/* more stuff here if necessary */
}

}

Alternatively, if called from within a class that extends some
subclass of java.awt.Component:

public MyClass extends JFrame {

public MyClass( /* parameters */) {
addMouseMotionListener(new MouseMotionListener() {
public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {
Point p = e.getPoint();
doSomeCalculation(p);
}
public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
/* ... */
}
});
}

}

The doSomeCalculation(Point p) method could provide, say, a mapping
from regions to elements of a table, e.g. with the java.awt.Rectangle
contains() method.

Hope this helps; if not, you might want to be more specific!

WHat you gave might be useful to someone, but "class"? and "method"?
and why bother to create what might be some kind of a function if a
calculation is neededin only one place?
The "do some calculation" bit is what is troubling; "int" does not
work and kills reading of mouse XY coordinates.
I will copy across the HTML / Java code i have from the OS and drive
it is on, for show.

Can't you just grab the coordinates from the Point?
Method is another name for member function...
What exactly do you mean by "'class'?"?
Don't you know what a class is?
Anyway,
if you don't want to use a function, then just put the content of the
function where he used one...

Oh yeah, I forgot:
to get the X and Y coordinates just use:

snippety snippety snip ...

Point p = e.getPoint();
int x = p.getX();
int y = p.getY();

snippety ...

The getX and getY functions will return the ints of the Point you got
from the mouseEvent in Evan's code...

Yeah,
this is JavaScript,
which basically has nothing to do with Java...
I believe there is some Object Orientation in it,
but not as advanced as Java's.
I'd recommend you go to the comp.lang.javascript group instead, or a
similar one...

Wrong! Sorry, but I just got caught by this the other day.

The methods getX() and getY() in java.awt.Point each return a double !

Your code should look more like:

Point p = e.getPoint();
int x = p.x;
int y = p.y;

x and y are public int fields of Point.

Yeah I noticed that a bit later,
but figured it was a bit late to post another correction...
Didn't know they were public, but that might explain why it has integer
coordinates whose get methods return doubles...

Anyway,
it doesn't apply to this because he's coding JavaScript...
(BTW, I haven't actually coded in years, so my memory on classes and
functions in even the standard API is kind of nasty, and for that matter
deprecated.
But I'm starting back up now, trying to learn some LWJGL and such,
hopefully it will be fun, and not just time consuming (time being
something I don't have a lot of))... ;)

I used Google and found some references for integer in Java.
But "int" not only does not work, it also prevents reading X and Y
coordinates of the mouse.
What i would like to do:
1) Get X and Y mouse coordinates into a variable that i can do real
math on.
So far, i can do math on the values "read" and that result goes
into a "variable" that is useful *only* for display.
If i try "int" in that math, the values are then zero for
everything - even those where i do no calculation.
2) Use the calculated integer values as an index to a table or array.
It is acceptable to use an HTML "table" as the source for the
lookup; W(CalcFromX) and P(CalcFromX) would be the resulting values
to be displayed on the screen somewhere.

I didn't understand your question at all. Perhaps you can post an
SSCCE? http://mindprod.com/jgloss/sscce.html

Be sure to specify what results you expected your program to

Since the code is "part of an HTML web page", might you be talking
about JavaScript, rather than Java?

I have been sick since Saturday, and that is why i have not posted
anything.
From others, i discovered that you are correct; Java Script.

I'm taking a broad guess here, seeing as how your description is

this:

doSomeCalculation(p);
}

public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
/* more stuff here if necessary */
}

}

Alternatively, if called from within a class that extends some
subclass of java.awt.Component:

public MyClass extends JFrame {
public MyClass( /* parameters */) {
addMouseMotionListener(new MouseMotionListener() {
public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {
Point p = e.getPoint();
doSomeCalculation(p);
}
public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
/* ... */
}
});
}

}

The doSomeCalculation(Point p) method could provide, say, a mapping
from regions to elements of a table, e.g. with the java.awt.Rectangle
contains() method.

Hope this helps; if not, you might want to be more specific!

WHat you gave might be useful to someone, but "class"? and "method"?
and why bother to create what might be some kind of a function if a
calculation is neededin only one place?
The "do some calculation" bit is what is troubling; "int" does not
work and kills reading of mouse XY coordinates.
I will copy across the HTML / Java code i have from the OS and drive
it is on, for show.

Can't you just grab the coordinates from the Point?
Method is another name for member function...
What exactly do you mean by "'class'?"?
Don't you know what a class is?
Anyway,
if you don't want to use a function, then just put the content of the
function where he used one...

No, i have no clue what a "calss" is, or how to do what you mentioned.

What i would like to do:
1) Get X and Y mouse coordinates into a variable that i can do real
math on.
So far, i can do math on the values "read" and that result goes
into a "variable" that is useful *only* for display.
If i try "int" in that math, the values are then zero for
everything - even those where i do no calculation.
2) Use the calculated integer values as an index to a table or array.
It is acceptable to use an HTML "table" as the source for the
lookup; W(CalcFromX) and P(CalcFromX) would be the resulting values
to be displayed on the screen somewhere.

Can this be done, and eXactly how?

I'm taking a broad guess here, seeing as how your description is
vague, but...what you probably want is something along the lines of
this:

public MyClass implements MouseMotionListener {

// constructors and other methods...

// MouseMotionListener methods
public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {
Point p = e.getPoint();
doSomeCalculation(p);
}

public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
/* more stuff here if necessary */
}

}

Alternatively, if called from within a class that extends some
subclass of java.awt.Component:

public MyClass extends JFrame {
public MyClass( /* parameters */) {
addMouseMotionListener(new MouseMotionListener() {
public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {
Point p = e.getPoint();
doSomeCalculation(p);
}
public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
/* ... */
}
});
}

}

Oh yeah, I forgot:
to get the X and Y coordinates just use:

snippety snippety snip ...

Point p = e.getPoint();
int x = p.getX();
int y = p.getY();

snippety ...

The getX and getY functions will return the ints of the Point you got
from the mouseEvent in Evan's code...

I will try that, but am not enthused as "int" seems to not work but
worse, kill everything else JavaScript wise..

Yeah,
this is JavaScript,
which basically has nothing to do with Java...
I believe there is some Object Orientation in it,
but not as advanced as Java's.
I'd recommend you go to the comp.lang.javascript group instead, or a
similar one...

Thanks.

Hope you're feeling better now.
From others, i discovered that you are correct; Java Script.

Okay, you can probably ignore most of the advice you've received here
(e.g. "class" is a concept which only exists in Java, and not in
JavaScript). Probably best if you repost your question at a JavaScript
newsgroup like comp.lang.javascript.
