Newbie help needed with Applet

CelticFC

The following is code I have written for an Applet. The code is very
large and cumbersome (I am not that confident with Arrays as I am very
new to this).
However the applet works fine and does everything I want it to do
except for one crucial piece. I have tried over the last few days to
get this part working but with no success the following is the part
that does not work:

//This is the solution for the puzzle based on points within the grid
that pawns are placed

if(x >= 90 && x <= 130 && y >= 10 && y <= 50){

if(x >= 250 && x <= 290 && y >= 10 && y <= 50){

if(x >= 90 && x <= 130 && y >= 50 && y <= 90){

if(x >= 170 && x <= 210 && y >= 50 && y <= 90){

if(x >= 10 && x <= 50 && y >= 90 && y <= 130){

if(x >= 50 && x <= 90 && y >= 90 && y <= 130){

if(x >= 250 && x <= 290 && y >= 130 && y <= 170){

if(x >= 50 && x <= 90 && y >= 170 && y <= 210){

if(x >= 210 && x <= 250 && y >= 210 && y <= 250){

if(x >= 290 && x <= 350 && y >= 210 && y <= 250){

if(x >= 10 && x <= 50 && y >= 250 && y <= 290){

if(x >= 130 && x <= 170 && y >= 250 && y <= 290){

if(x >= 210 && x <= 250 && y >= 290 && y <= 350){

if(x >= 290 && x <= 350 && y >= 290 && y <= 350){



message = "Congratulations!";
message1 = "You solved it";
pawncount = 14;
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}

Could anybody point me in the right direction or perhaps have a look at
the code and fix it. As I said it is not for lack of trying to get it
to work, I just lack the knowledge although I am learning every day
I would be very grateful for any help.

I strongly suggest you get comfortable with arrays then, a simple typo could
really cost you a lot of debugging time. Arrays arent that complicated to
grasp so if you read up on the topic you may find your problems fixing
themselves. Your code is a bit too long to read through though :)

Yes, so why did you quote it in its entirety when responding?

The following is code I have written for an Applet. The code is very
large and cumbersome (I am not that confident with Arrays as I am very
new to this).
However the applet works fine and does everything I want it to do
except for one crucial piece. I have tried over the last few days to
get this part working but with no success the following is the part
that does not work:

Okay... but what's wrong with it?

rather than hard coding that you could
invent

Box[] boxes = new Box[] { new Box( 90, 130, 10, 50), .... };
or read your data is from a CSV file 4 numbers per line. See
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/csv.html

then your code become

for ( Box box: boxes )
{
if (box.x1 <= x && x <= box.x2 && box.y1 <= y && y <= box.y2) ...
}

The applet will not display the "Winner" message when the 14 pawns are
entered at the specified points. This is the part that does not work
correctly. The aim is when 14 pawns are placed at these specific points
the "Winner" message will show, in order to inform the user that the
puzzle has been solved.I am lost on how to code this part. If you look
at my first post the part that does not work is quoted before the very
LARGE code.

Hope you can help

Could it be because you wrote

<code>
message = "Congratulations!";
message1 = "You solved it";
</code>

instead of

<code>
message = "Winner";
message1 = "";
</code>
?

I'm teasing, of course, but also trying to point out that as a
programmer, it's crucial to be precise about what you mean. A computer will
literally obey whatever you type, even if that's not what you meant.

Anyway, I suspect the problem is here:

<code>
if(x >= 90 && x <= 130 && y >= 10 && y <= 50){
if(x >= 250 && x <= 290 && y >= 10 && y <= 50){
if(x >= 90 && x <= 130 && y >= 50 && y <= 90){
[etc.]
</code>

There's no way that x can simultaneously be between 90 and 130, and also
between 250 and 290. I'm guessing instead of having a single variable 'x',
you intended to have 14 of them, each one representing the x-coordinate of a
different pawn.

If you really hate arrays, then just declare 14 different variables,
e.g. x1, x2, x3, etc. Do the same for y (i.e. y1, y2, y3, etc.)

Thanks Oliver. God how simple was that. Never even thought of that. Oh
well I will have to do a LOT more reading.
Once again thanks.
