Problems with my source code

[bilak09]

I have two java programs CallConvert.java which is a driver program for ConvertToAddress.java

when I compile CallConvert.java i get these errors

callConvert.java:53: ')' expected
myC.convert(String s);
^
callConvert.java:53: illegal start of expression
myC.convert(String s);
^

This is ConvertToAddress.java

When you run the driver program CallConvert.java is supposed to output the following based upon userInput

Sam Penn
14 Bridge St.
Hoboken, NJ 01881

I have two java programs CallConvert.java which is a driver program for ConvertToAddress.java

when I compile CallConvert.java i get these errors

callConvert.java:53: ')' expected
myC.convert(String s);
^
callConvert.java:53: illegal start of expression
myC.convert(String s);
^

When you call a method and pass a parameter, you don't include the parameter's variable type in the method call. For instance, it's not:

myC.convert(String s);

But rather:

String myString = "what the heck";
myC.convert(myString);

Make sense? Either way, please let us know.

Much luck!

I fixed the portion of the code to read

myC.convert(userInput);

however when I run the program the convert method in ConvertToAddress.java does nothing, I do not understand why this is, any help with this would be much appreciated

Edit: thank you for wasting my time by having me read and study your code and answer a question that has already been answered in a cross-post in another forum. Frequent cross-posting without notification will put you on many folks do-not-help list. You're on your own with this problem. Much luck.

[bilak09]

I posted both of these at the same time because I wasn't sure forum would be more helpful. I'm new to these forums and didn't know that it would cause a problem I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Questions in both fora are answered by volunteers, and so our time is valuable to us. There's nothing wrong with cross-posting as long as you're open and up-front about it. If you ask someone to put in the effort to try to help you, it's in your and their best interest that everyone know if you have a similar discussion elsewhere so that they don't duplicate the effort. It makes sense. I appreciate your sensitivity to this (as per your apology).
