"boolean isDigit(char ch)" not working...please help

[cc11rocks]

This is my code. I have two files, "Risk.java" and "RiskApp.java". They are both working fine. I was wondering how to insert "boolean isDigit(char ch)" in my code for BOTH JTextFields.
Risk.java:

import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.JLabel;

public class Risk extends JPanel {
int leftNumber = 0;
int rightNumber = 0;
public JButton enter;
public JTextField stupid, yummy;
public JLabel smart, dumb;
public Risk() {
JLabel smart = new JLabel("First Number:");
add(smart);
JTextField stupid = new JTextField(10);
add(stupid);
JLabel dumb = new JLabel("Second Number:");
add(dumb);
JTextField yummy = new JTextField(10);
add(yummy);
enter = new JButton("Enter");
add(enter);

}
}

RiskApp.java

import javax.swing.*; 

public class RiskApp {
private static void createAndShowGUI() {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Risk");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
Risk riskPanel = new Risk();
frame.getContentPane().add(riskPanel);

frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
createAndShowGUI();
}
});
}
}

When i tried it (this is the code for the nonworking code that i tried to add "boolean isDigit(char ch)" for:
RiskApp.java stayed the same so no reason to repost.
Risk.java:

import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.JLabel;

public class Risk extends JPanel {
    int leftNumber = 0;
    int rightNumber = 0;
    public JButton enter;
public JTextField stupid, yummy;
public JLabel smart, dumb;
    public Risk() {
JLabel smart = new JLabel("First Number:");
add(smart);
JTextField stupid = new JTextField(leftNumber, 10);
add(stupid);
boolean isDigit;
If (isDigit == false)
 {
System.out.println("Not a digit");
}
JLabel dumb = new JLabel("Second Number:");
add(dumb);
JTextField yummy = new JTextField(rightNumber, 10);
add(yummy);
If (isDigit == false)
 {
System.out.println("Not a digit");
}
        enter = new JButton("Enter");
        add(enter);
	
    }
}

I got two error messages...they are:

Risk.java:18: ';' expected

If (isDigit == false)
and

Risk.java:26: ';' expected
If (isDigit == false)

So it is the same error. If anyone could make this work i would be grateful.

One problem: Java is case sensitive. If is not the same as if (the latter, if, is what you want). Also, there is no JTextField constructor that takes two int parameters. You'll probably want to pass a String and an int instead.

Also, it's cleaner to do

 
if (!foo) 
{
  //...

rather than

 
if (foo == false) 
{
  //...

Also, you're testing if isDigit is false before you've assigned anything to this variable which doesn't make logical sense.

rightNumber = 0, and leftNumber =0. That is in my code and also in the textboxes. So it should come up as 0 in the boxes before the user types anything in. Could you please show me how to do that? And BTW, this is not for my homework.

Also it might help to say what you are actually testing for.


[Edit]
(I've got work to do for a bit. But I see Fubarable's on the case...)

I Recommend you try the suggestions I made. If you still have errors, or specific questions, show them and ask them. And it doesn't matter whether it's homework or not, you are better off coding it yourself. Again, as per your deleted question, please don't ask others to do your coding for you.

My end goal is to get two text boxes and an enter button in a gui. When you push enter it display the two text box numbers underneath it. When you push certain keys, it does certain things to the numbers. I'm not worried about what the enter button or listeners or anything like that right now. I'm starting simple, then building big. RIGHT NOW on the other hand, i want to display two text boxes. Then, have the numbers 0 in each of them, hence leftNumber and rightNumber. When they type something, I want it to be limited to numbers only. And i want to have the Enter button displayed. That's about it.

I found another way to do this. Could you please delete this? I will make a new one because it deals with something totally different.
Thanks and sorry,

Mark the thread as solved, and it will be regarded as finished with.

Before you do I'll just note for posterity that "I want it to be limited to numbers only" means that there is going to be listeners in there somewhere: watching what is typed and vetoing bad input. Those listeners may be obsured (eg made part of a Swing component) but they will be there somewhere.

Also, in case anyone was wondering, it is not enough to assign a value to leftNumber and hope that the runtime was smart enough to display that in smart or whereever. You would have to do something like:

int leftNumber = 0;
//...
JTextField stupid = new JTextField("" + leftNumber, 10);
add(stupid);

The first argument to the JTextField constructor has to be a String not an int hence the ""+ business. See the API docs. Moreover the variables leftNumber and stupid will not be linked in any way whatsoever.
