Finch Robot (Java) - Should Light Up and Say the Colour When It Is Tapped












0














I wrote a code for the finch robot in Java that should light up and say the name of the colour when it is tapped but at the moment when I tap nothing happens.
It works without the if statement but when I add it nothing happens.
Does anyone know why?
Thank you 



import edu.cmu.ri.createlab.terk.robot.finch.Finch;



import java.awt.Color;



public class FinchUserInteraction {



    // create finch object

    static Finch myFinch = new Finch(); 



    public static void main(String args) {



        //'BlueFinch' is the name of the blue Finch object 

        myFinch = new Finch();





        if (myFinch.isTapped() == true) {

            myFinch.setLED(Color.blue, 500);

            myFinch.saySomething("Blue");

        } else {

            myFinch.setLED(Color.orange);

        }



        myFinch.quit(); 

        System.exit(0); 

    }

}





java if-statement

  • I am not sure if is about the if statement. It looks fine, you could do simply if(myFinch.isTapped()) instead though. You could put a breakpoint and debug to see step by step. And what do you mean by nothing happens? What happens when it works?(Without if statement?)

    maybe try with while loop.

    Note that you are assigning twice a new Finch instance to myFinch.

    Depends on how the robot works. It's possible that what you wrote only runs once - that is, you start the robot, it checks if it's tapped (it's not yet), so it sets led to orange and exits. If you want it to light blue whenever you tap it, you will need to write your code a different way.

I figured out that myFinch.isTapped() is not very accurate.
If anyone else tries to do something similar use myFinch.isObstacle() == true and a while loop instead of a if statement for it to work

            A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

            Image
            0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{...
