Difficulty understanding classes












-3















I am having a difficult time understanding how classes work and cant figure out how to take my currentToken make it into a word then use the word class to scramble it or not then return the word either scrambled or not into a println.



Main Class:



import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class Readability
{
public static void main(String args)
throws FileNotFoundException {
Scanner doc = new Scanner( new File("README.txt"));//imports README.txt
System.out.println(tokens);
}
public static ArrayList<String> punctuation(Scanner doc){//creates new method called punctuation
ArrayList<String> tokens = new ArrayList();//creates new arraylist called tokens
while (doc.hasNext()){//loops through README.txt to find all punctuation that needs to be fixed
String currentToken = doc.nextLine();//assigns the character that is being read as currentToken
Word wordObject = new Word(currentToken);
wordObject.toString();
if (currentToken.length()>0){//loop that converts all currentTokens to lowerCase and adds currentToken to token
tokens.add(currentToken);
}
}
return tokens;
}
}


Word Class:



import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
public class Word{
String word;
public Word(String w){
word=w;
}
public String toString(){
if (word.length()<6) {
return word;
}
else {
String first = word.substring(0,2);
int length = word.length();
String middle = word.substring(2,length-2);
ArrayList<String> scrambled = new ArrayList<String>();
scrambled.add(middle);
Collections.shuffle(scrambled);
String last = word.substring(length-2);
return first+scrambled+last;
}
}
}

  • @Henry My println is giving me an error: Cannot find symbol: variable tokens. I also am not able to tell if my current tokens are being read by the word class and scrambled at all and if those are even going to my main method in my main class.

  • return first+scrambled+last; this will lead to issues, since scrambled isn't a String you are concatenating

  • @ValentinCarnu punctuation method is static. no need to instatiate Readability

  • @ValentinCarnu I didn't mention that at all. why on earth would a toString method return a List? Change the returntype, and you'll get compilation issues
