Using methods?

I'm trying to create a program that will input a integer and output a word. I create the code and it works the way the my teacher wanted it but I can't remember how to use Methods.

I'm asking if someone could help me use methods to split up the code, because I'm at a complete loss =\

Heres the code, I originally wrote it in Objective-C, using Xcode because I'm more familiar with that.

Code:

---


int number = int(random(0,10000));
int remainder = 0;
int PrevNum = 0;
int digit = 0;

do{
  do{
   
  if(number <= 9 && number >= 0){
    PrevNum = number;
    remainder = number;
    number = 0;
  }
 
  if(number <= 99 && number >= 10){
  PrevNum = number;
  digit = number / 10;
  remainder = digit;
  number %= 10;
  }
  else if(number <= 999 && number >= 100){
  PrevNum = number;
  digit = number / 100;
  remainder = digit;
  number %= 100;
  }
  else if(number <= 9999 && number >= 1000){

That's a lot of code :)

let's consider this number:

nine thousand three hundred forty five

it's broken down like this:


[nine thousand] [three hundred] [forty] [five]

so your code should look like this:

Code:

---

int number = random number; // you're calculating it already
printThousands (number);
printHundreds (number);
printTens(number);
printOnes (number);

---

printHundreds(), as one example, would look like this:

Code:

---

private void printHundreds (int number) {
  number = (number % 1000) / 100;
  if (number == 0) { // print nothing }
  else {
    printDigitName (number);
    System.out.print (" hundred");
  }
}

---

Sorry, the main reason I don't understand this is because I have no idea how but more importantly WHY functions work.

I would write something like this

Code:

---


 
 
class Blah{
int number = int(random(0,100));

 
int output(int remainder, int PrevNum, int number, int digit){

 if(number <= 9 && number >= 0){
    PrevNum = number;
    remainder = number;
    number = 0;
  }
 
  if(number <= 99 && number >= 10){
  PrevNum = number;
  digit = number / 10;
  remainder = digit;
  number %= 10;
  }
  else if(number <= 999 && number >= 100){
  PrevNum = number;
  digit = number / 100;
  remainder = digit;
  number %= 100;
  }
  else if(number <= 9999 && number >= 1000){
  PrevNum = number;
  digit = number / 1000;

  }

I know its wrong but have no idea WHY its wrong. =\ the whole concept is a lost to me right now and its due at 11:59pm arghh

It's lots of coding. Very difficult to go through it. If you can explain your question specifically, it's easy for us to comment/help on your question.

Here is the worksheet I'm using. I'm about to just submit the code the way I originally had it =\ partial credit is better then a 0

Homework #3 Functions

In class we have been discussing how to write our own functions for a program. We have considered the function digit() , revDigits(), and digits(). In this assignment you will take these functions and modify them, as needed, to produce a more correct English representation of the numbers being processed. Make sure that your program includes comments as used in the samples and also include testing code, also as used in the samples. Remember, consistency and style DO count here.
Rules for Number Representation

1. If the low order two digits of the number are under twenty but greater than nine, then you will display the strings: ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, and nineteen.

2. The next to last digits will display the strings: twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, and ninety.

3. The third to last digit will display the number of hundreds (third to last digit) followed by the word hundred.

4. In a similar fashion, the fourth, fifth, and sixth to last digits will be written as above but followed by the word thousand.

5. Likewise for million, and billion. int values are limited to about 9 digits so they cannot grow beyond billions.

6. As appropriate, when a digit is zero and needs to be followed by hundred, thousand, million, or billion then the value may be skipped (see examples below).

I've been reading around and some people say Java doesn't have Functions, only Methods and my professor said their the same thing o.o...I'm so confused. I'm not trying to cheat or anything, I created the code but just need some help on it to make they way he wants it.

Both functions and method are the same, word use interchangeably in different languages.

On your assignment, did you do the part one? Display the string from nine to twenty. It's not that much difficult. Can you show it here?

Code:

---


String digit(int number)
{
  String result = "";

switch (abs(number) % 10){
case 0:
result = "zero";
break;

case 1:
result = "one";
break;

case 2:
result = "two";
break;

case 3:
result = "three";
break;

case 4:
result = "four";
break;

case 5:
result = "five";
break;


case 6:
result = "six";
break;

case 7:
result = "seven";
break;

case 8:
result = "eight";
break;

case 9:
result = "nine";
break;
}
return result;
}

void setup(){
Test t = new Test();

t.check(digits(0), "zero");
}

Thats all he gave me... I have no idea what it means. What I put it into Processing, it gives me a error.

In first part you want to do is something like this.

Say you decide (or the user) a number. If the number is grater than 9 and less than 20 your application just print the text as ten, eleven, twelve, ......

What the above code doing is that number which is decide by your or the user divide by 10 and display the text of the remainder. For example is the number if 13, divide by 10, the reminder is 3, so the text is three. Your assignment ask you to modify those things according to.

In very simple way,

Code:

---

  private void displayMessage(int val) {
        if (val > 9 && val < 20) {
            partOne(val);
        }
    }

    private void partOne(int val) {
        switch (val) {
            case 10:
                System.out.println("ten");
                break;
            case 11:
                System.out.println("eleven");
                break;
            case 12:
                System.out.println("twelve");
                break;
            case 13:
                System.out.println("thirteen");
                break;
            case 14:
                System.out.println("fourteen");
                break;
            case 15:
                System.out.println("fifteen");
                break;
            case 16:
                System.out.println("sixteen");
                break;
            case 17:
                System.out.println("seventeen");
                break;
            case 18:
                System.out.println("eighteen");
                break;
            case 19:
                System.out.println("nineteen");
                break;
        }
    }
