First of all...

[Tik]

Hello everybody,

I'm new here and I thought why not say hello :)
Ok now that that's out of the way... :cool:

Can any of you please help me with this Karel/"Java" program I've made ==>


/* This program collects a few beepers
* which are scattered in karel world in the form of towers
* name: beeperPickingKarel
* date: 5 january 2009
*/

import stanford.karel.*;

public class beeperPickerKarel extends SuperKarel {

public void run() {

collectAllBeepers();
dropAllBeepers();
returnBack();
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------> Line 18
//This method defines the statements neccesary for Karel to collect all beepers
private void collectAllBeepers() {

while(frontIsClear()) {
collectTheTowerOfBeepers();
}
collectTheTowerOfBeepers();
}

/* This method defines the statements neccesary for Karel to understand
* the collectBeepers() method which contains the statements necessary for Karel->Line29
* to collect the beepers
*/
private void collectTheTowerOfBeepers() {

faceTheTower();
while(beepersPresent()) {
pickBeeper();
move();
}
faceTheGround();
getBackDown();
turnLeft();

}

//This method will let Karel face the tower(North)
private void faceTheTower() {

while(notFacingNorth()) {
turnLeft();
}

}

//This method lets Karel face the ground so he can get back to that direction
private void faceTheGround() {

while(notFacingSouth()) {
turnRight();
}

}

//This method get Karel back down
private void getBackDown() {

while(frontIsClear()) {
move();
}

}

//This method instruct Karel to drop all beepers that were collected
private void dropAllBeepers() {

while(beepersInBag()) {
putBeeper();
}

}

//This method gets Karel back to where he was in the beginning
private void returnBack() {
turnAround();
while(frontIsClear()) {
move();
}
turnAround();

}

}

I tried to figure it out myself but it keeps saying:
Severity and Description Path Resource Location Creation Time Id
Syntax error, insert "}" to complete ClassBody Assignment1 CollectNewspaperKarel.java line 18 1231145885156 48

Severity and Description Path Resource Location Creation Time Id
Syntax error, insert "}" to complete MethodBody Assignment1 CollectNewspaperKarel.java line 29 1231145885156 49


BTW:
1. If you're wondering --> NO, I'm not a stanford student, I just happened to bump on Eric Robert's book on Karel The Robot.
2. Sorry I couldn't get the indentation right... :(
Can anybode please help?

Thanks in advance....

What you have on line 18 and 29 in your code?

[Tik]

removing them doesn't help, if that is what you meant...

thanks anyways...

Eranga ask where is line 18 and line 29

[Tik]

Oh, ok.
Thx, i have marked the lines with an arrow and turned the color to dark orange

hope you can help me now....

[Tik]

I figured it out!
Somehow Eclips was showing the errors of another program, after deleting that program the program worked without errors but there are still some logical problems :eek:

But thanks anyways guys for your help! :)

Please use code tags when you are posting again here. And also clearly state what your question, with the relevant code segment. Reading such a long code segment is mess for other members. Good luck!
