but it needs to all be in the box that is created from the first part of the code. I need to build the loop display and add it to the current one each time the loop runs. I tried writing it to a file and then calling the file .. did not work. I know this is real close but I am still missing something.
Here is the code.::
public class TwelveDays {//beginning of the Class of Twelve Days
private static void showLyrics(String myLyrics) {//Class assigned box generator**********make it accessible
javax.swing.JTextArea outArea;
javax.swing.JScrollPane scroller;
outArea = new javax.swing.JTextArea(20, 35);
outArea.setText(myLyrics);
scroller = new javax.swing.JScrollPane(outArea);
javax.swing.JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, scroller,
"The Twelve Days of Technology",
javax.swing.JOptionPane.
INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
} //showLyrics
public static void main(String args[]) { //This is the Main Method
// print heading
System.out.println("The Twelve Days of It\n"
+ "by John H. Howard\n");
// loop through the twelve days
String toBeDisplayed = "";
for (int i = 1; i <= 12; i++) {
// print beginning of each day's verse
System.out.println("On the " + chooseDay(i) + " day of It");
System.out.println("My true LOVE of Computers\n" +
"sent to me:");
// count down through days already passed in reverse order
// if first day, final verse slightly different
// "A " vs. "and a "
// Eating my own doggie food..
if (i == 1) {
System.out.println("A " + myLyrics(i));
}
else {
for (int j = i; j >= 2; j--) {
System.out.println(myLyrics(j));
}
System.out.println("and A " + myLyrics(1));
toBeDisplayed = toBeDisplayed + "\n" + myLyrics(i);
}
// *****************Call the method
// song done, extra line
System.out.println();
}
TwelveDays.showLyrics(toBeDisplayed);
}
public static String chooseDay(int x) { //Method for the days-Case Begins
String day;
switch (x) {
case 1:
day = "First";
break;
case 2:
day = "Second";
break;
case 3:
day = "Third";
break;
case 4:
day = "Fourth";
break;
case 5:
day = "Fifth";
break;
case 6:
day = "Sixth";
break;
case 7:
day = "Seventh";
break;
case 8:
day = "Eighth";
break;
case 9:
day = "Ninth";
break;
case 10:
day = "Tenth";
break;
case 11:
day = "Eleventh";
break;
case 12:
day = "Twelfth";
break;
default:
day = "";
break;
}
return day;
}
public static String myLyrics(int x) { //Method to Reverse Order
String lyrics;
switch (x) { //Song Case list
case 1:
lyrics = "one Gig Jump drive";
break;
case 2:
lyrics = "Two LCD Monitors";
break;
case 3:
lyrics = "Three Floppy disks";
break;
case 4:
lyrics = "Four 512Mg SIMM's";
break;
case 5:
lyrics = "Five Zip disks";
break;
case 6:
lyrics = "Six Tape Drives";
break;
case 7:
lyrics = "Seven Java Reference Books";
break;
case 8:
lyrics = "Eight External Hard Drives";
break;
case 9:
lyrics = "Nine Network ISP's";
break;
case 10:
lyrics = "Ten Websites Java Driven";
break;
case 11:
lyrics = "Eleven E-Commerce Accounts";
break;
case 12:
lyrics = "Twelve Dedicated T3 Lines";
break;
default:
lyrics = "";
break;
}
return lyrics; //Reverse the Case Display
}
} //This is the end of the Twelve Days of It.
end of the code.
There does not need to be any println command. I just put those in to get my print out correct. Thought it would be easy to just move the print out to the box. Boy was I wrong.
Thanks for the help..
