... years ago, but now I am trying to write a program that will do real physics - like with particles and forces and stuff.
I started by skimming the pages of the Java 2 text we used and am stuck on a problem and need help with it. So if I find the right forum then I'll post it there. If not I'll come back here and risk getting flamed.
So hi.ClassHello(); to everyone.
hey welcome to the forums!!
Thanks Aziz.
I forgot to mention to you that there is also an Advanced Physics Forum, which IMO, is not as good as the Physics Forum, and also Cramster which charges $10/mo or $60 per year. Their advantage is that they publish many solutions to the very textbooks which schools use.
If it's a Java program you are writing I see no reason why you can't the problem here. Unless if the problem you got in the text has nothing to do with Java.Quote:

FORTRAN is linear and sequential;
Java is coincidental and spatial.
So I deleted my previous post, with the code, b/c I realized that my mind set for Java was all wrong.
