The faction you're referring to is the son of bitches, or SOB. They're part of the church, wear power armor, wield chainswords and bolters, and freakin magic, and will rek ur face.

The Sisters of Battle do not use magic. They are very much a "burn the witch" organisation.

To me the Sisters are kind of like a Holy Paladin (If they have power) where they use holy Emperor essence and prayer to fight. Or if their just normal nuns in power armor and firing bolters.

So question..

When it comes to Primarch gene seed which ones are easiest to successfully implant? As in, which ones will usually actually produce a neophyte?

I'm speaking of ALL of the primarchs also btw. I found on the lexicanum a mutational chart but that's not exactly what I am looking for.

Hi guys I need help calculating my grades to give me an idea of what I should do in my upcoming final.

My grade is broken down currently to be 30% H.W and 50% tests (total possible grade) initially. Then my professor says that this is false and that they should both be 40% each and it will be changed...when he gets around to it.

I have 28.86 out of 30 points for h.w and 34.56 points out of 50 points in my tests. After the weight changes are done what will be my new total?

Average scores are 96.19% for H.W and 69.1% Tests.

63.41 points out of 80 points.

Basically, as minor as it might be I'm trying to have at least 75% of the total grade because of how the class is setup. I think he may be curbing the grades but i'm not sure if he is or by how much (He goes back and forth from being hardass to 'I'm old and I don't care. Just pass').

How do I convert these scores?

@3man75:I have no clue why it's...Oh!  When you close a looping statement, all the variables declared in it go away.  So your Scanner is already dead, and honestly you probably don't need to close it anyway.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class MainMenu {

public static void main(String[] args) {
[b]do {[/b]
System.out.println("Welcome to dice roller. Please input the number of the dice you want to roll. For example: 6 for a 6 sided dice or 50 for a 50 sided dice.");
Scanner howManySides = new Scanner (System.in);

int sidesOfADice = howManySides.nextInt();

ObjectDice gameDice = new ObjectDice (sidesOfADice); //One argument calling constructor.

sidesOfADice = howManySides.nextInt();//reusing scanner. sidesOfADice is a int holder for the scanner.

gameDice.rollMulti(sidesOfADice);


} while (sidesOfADice != 0);
howManySides.close();
}
}
Should I move the "do {" part above to not encompass the scanner?

@Mephisto:No he does not.nevermind

Also, 3man75, good grief, you NEVER need to import Object.

I want to help with this, but I'd end up completely rewriting your code and not really helping.

Also, you really, really, really need to learn more about how to write readable variable names...AND STOP MAKING MULTIPLE SCANNERS POINTED AT SYSTEM.IN FOR LIKE THE TENTH OR SO TIME AAAUGH.  Sorry.  I shouldn't shout.  But you only need the one Scanner, let's call it input, and then you can call input.nextInt() multiple times.

...Also, screaming about THIS METHOD IS BEING CALLED BY MAIN! is...Not a guaranteed truth, in addition to being really weird documentation-wise, because the line of code you wrote ISN'T being called in main, it's being called in your method.  One's code should not depend on being called by certain other code unless it's a private method, which I will not talk about because that's outside your current scope.

...Sod it, I'm going to write an unconnected example in the hopes that it actually gets through.

Code: [Select]

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Demo{
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in); //And notice how there is ONE Scanner, not two or three.
public static void main(String[] args){
//I'll avoid complicating things and just write it to go through each method once, though simply wrapping this with a while loop and implementing some sort of menu shouldn't be hard.
System.out.println("Input the initial value for instancevariable");
DemoObject whatdoesitdo = new DemoObject(scan.nextInt()); //Much less code to write than creating a new variable to store a value you only use once.

//Now, to demonstrate proper object-based I/O.

System.out.println("Called singleUseThing and got "+whatdoesitdo.singleUseThing()); //This is what a return statement is for.  It hands data back to the method that called things.
System.out.println("How many times would you like to call multiUseThing?");
int[] output; //Have to declare this outside of the loop so it doesn't vanish after the first iteration.
for(int count = 0, int max = scan.nextInt() /*Reusing a Scanner, see?  Also, you can do this comma thing here.*/, output = whatdoesitdo.multiUseThing(max); count<max; count++){
System.out.println("Result "+(count+1)+" of multiUseThing was "+output[count]);
}
}
}

public class DemoObject{
int instancevariable;
Random RNGesus = new Random();
DemoObject(int setup_value){
instancevariable=setup_value;
}

public void setInstanceVariable(int to_set){
instancevariable = to_set;
}

public int singleUseThing(){
return RNGesus.nextInt()*instancevariable;
}

public int[] multiUseThing(int num_times){
int[] temp_storage = new int[num_times];
for(int count = 0; count<num_times; count++){
temp_storage[count] = RNGesus.nextInt()*instancevariable;
}
return temp_storage; //Handing the array back for whatever.  If you only wanted to print odd-numbered results, you could do that without mucking up the object for uses that need all the results printed.
}

I apologize for the tabs, but it was much faster than spaces, especially because I typed this on my phone

Got it done just now and I killed off one of my scanners. An as for variable names..well that'll come later, as of now as the time of this writing.

Good use with the prints for debugging, you get a much better idea of the order that bits of code are being called.

Here's what I like to do: have the debug print at the start of a function print out it's name and parameters. Include the class name as well for the most detail. e.g. for your dice constructor, instead of "hello", try printing:

System.out.println("Dice.Dice("+x+")");

Debug printing of the name of functions and what values they are getting can really save time when you know some bit of code is screwing up, but you're not sure where the problem is. I've had countless times that I've debugged some "faulty" bit of code over and over, only to do a debug and realize that another bit of code was sending it the wrong values. The first thing you should always double-check is what values a function is receiving.

Is that a feature in eclipse? I think i've seen it but never got around to actually using it. I'll definetly take a look at it tommorow after class.

Since what I posted was a bit hard to follow I'll post it again. I am using an IDE, Eclipse (Mars) by the way. It's just that like I said that my laptop was open and on while I typed away at the forum via another pc. My wifi in the house dosen't work so I coudn't use my laptop to post on the forum.


Working on fixing a few things still for the OOP version. Thanks @Reelya for the help.

Also you may notice that this code dosen't run and that's because I fiddled with it after it was working to try and get multiple dice to work on it. As I have said before, no dice. Pun intended

EDIT:

Having a hard time visualizing what I need to do. This is a guess but..

1. Public Class Dice.

2. Make traits for Class Dice. Such as int sides.

3. Make a function that 'gets' sides. You know like getSides.

4. Another function transfer whatever getSides is (It will be int something) and put it in a roll function.
       - random
       - random(getSides) + 1;

This seems like a good track from guess work. Btw I was looking at Reelya's suggestion and formulating as I type. This still leaves me with two questions though: 1. How to make multiple rolls and 2. the actual coding.

I know I can't be helped with the last one, that's what my 80$ book is for, but how can I get it to roll more than once? Can I make another function that does that seprately?

something like...

class DiceXXXXX

while (userwanted to roll){

random(getSides)+ 1;
}

Not sure if that'll work since I tried it before...Either still working on all of this.
