Simple Calculator Display Problem :(

Hey guys

Im new to this.

Im have written a half finished calculator applet. When I try to compile and
run the applet i get a little message in the bottom left hand of the window
saying "Start: Applet not initialized".

I am using BlueJ.

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.*;

public class Clac extends Applet implements ActionListener

{
JButton zero;
JButton one;
JButton two;
JButton three;
JButton four;
JButton five;
JButton six;
JButton seven;
JButton eight;
JButton nine;
JButton plus;
JButton take;
JButton divide;
JButton multiply;
JButton equals;
TextField Field;
int number;
int number1;

public void init()
{
setBackground(new Color(0,100,255));
setForeground(Color.black);

zero=new JButton("0");
one =new JButton("1");
two=new JButton("2");
three=new JButton("3");
four=new JButton("4");
five=new JButton("5");
six=new JButton("6");
seven=new JButton("7");
eight=new JButton("8");
nine=new JButton("9");
plus=new JButton("+");
take=new JButton("-");
divide=new JButton("/");
equals=new JButton("=");

number = 0;
number1=0;

zero.addActionListener(this);
one.addActionListener(this);
two.addActionListener(this);
three.addActionListener(this);
four.addActionListener(this);
five.addActionListener(this);
six.addActionListener(this);
seven.addActionListener(this);
eight.addActionListener(this);
nine.addActionListener(this);

// havent done multiply, add, divide, subtract yet.

setLayout(new GridLayout(3,5));
add(seven);
add(eight);
add(nine);
add(divide);
add(four);
add(five);
add(six);
add(one);
add(two);
add(three);
add(plus);
add(zero);
add(multiply);
add(equals);
add(Field);

}

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
if(e.getSource()==zero)
{

number = number * 10;
Field.setText(""+number);
}

if(e.getSource()==one)
{

number = number * 10 + 1;
Field.setText(""+number);
}

if(e.getSource()==two)

{

number = number * 10 + 2;
Field.setText(""+number);

}
if(e.getSource()==three)
{
number = number * 10 + 3;
Field.setText(""+number);

}
if(e.getSource()==four)
{

number = number * 10 + 4;
Field.setText(""+number);

}
if(e.getSource()==five)
{

number = number * 10 + 5;
Field.setText(""+number);

{
if(e.getSource()==six)
{

number = number * 10 + 6;
Field.setText(""+number);

}
if(e.getSource()==seven)
{

number = number * 10 + 7;
Field.setText(""+number);

}
if(e.getSource()==eight)
{

number = number * 10 + 8;
Field.setText(""+number);

}
if(e.getSource()==nine)
{

number = number * 10 + 9;
Field.setText(""+number);

}

}
}
}
}

thanks for your help ;)

as i said, yeah im new to this and also this applet is not finished! it should only display entered numbers (Hopefully!)

Hi,
You have started with awt and ended with swings ;)

U have not added the component properly.That is why lot of errors.

Please gothru the Sun tutorial and other java tutorials before doing something.I have corrected the code without exception.Proceed further and complete the code.Use loops.why this many if conditions?.U can simplify the code.Please gothru the correct code without exception.

Here's a good thread to preach the gospel of not using "this" as an ActionListener. i.e.,:

Code:

xxxx.addActionListener(this);

The number buttons can all share an ActionListener, and the operations buttons can share one, but they all shouldn't share the same single actionlistener. Create two inner classes that implement the ActionListener interface so that you can separate out that which should remain separate.

thanks for helping me with my code ;) it got it working.

Now all i really need to do is do a gridbag layout and make the calculator actually calculate :)

cheers.

I would avoid that unless I were held over a vat of boiling oil. Much better here would be to nest JPanels each using their own more simple layout such as GridLayout and BorderLayout.

Yep, I heartily support this.
