simple question

[jwl]

what is the return value of this code?

int d = 2;
int k = "ZNE".hashCode() % 3000;
int l = "THB".hashCode() % 3000;
for (int x = 0; x <= l; x++)
d = (d ^ x) % k;
return d;

What did it return when you ran it?

I copied and pasted it in Netbeans:


package disposable;


public class Disposable {
public static int main(String[] args) {

int d = 2;
int k = "ZNE".hashCode() % 3000;
int l = "THB".hashCode() % 3000;
for (int x = 0; x <= l; x++)
d = (d ^ x) % k;
return d;
}
}

and it said there was no main method.

I'm sorry I mean no main classes.

The return of the main method should be void. Judging from your code, you should place your calculations into a separate method and call that method from the main method. Or you could just print d instead of returning it if you want to see the result.
