Hello

[evant]

Right sorted it...i just put this after the else bit of the code

if(this.getPosition() == position)
{
this.jump();
}

If you look at the first post in this thread from Aggy, the code is right apart from the > should be a <

Hi Evant

The line that you have given in your reply is not in the piece of code given by aggy

Hi evant

Put that line at the end of the else loop but it comes up with the error, when looking at the line " if(this.getPosition () == position)
{
this.jump
}
position has private access in frog

Hi

Hit a stumbling block(one of many!!!!) trying to devise a return methods for three instance variables. However, i seem to be receiving an error message when i try to compile the code.

/**
       * Returns the value of racingFrog instance variable.
       **/
      public int getRacingFrog1()
       {
          return this.racingFrog1();
       }

       /**

comes up with the error "cannot find symbol-method racingFrog1()2

Hi guys

I need help with constructing selectRunners() method.
Any hints? I am working on that for past 2 days in "Help with assigment needed" thread and I spend so much time on constructing an array when I just find out that it should not be an array there. What sort of loop did you used there?

Cheers

After much thought I ditched my code and re-read all the course work books, and having got no where I brought the "idiots guide to java" and have now managed to actually solve the problem and get it to work.

you need to make a while loop that checks how many runners are in the race and then a nested if statement to check to see if the frogs are actually running and then a check at the end to see if there are more than 2 runners to start the race.

and it helps to create a boolean selected instance for the racingfrog class.
