@KisekiDonum Glad you like the shortcuts! It's good to know someone's watching too! If there's anything you'd like me to cover, don't hesitate to ask.

You making me smart and you making me Bad-ass in School! Thank you so much!

I just love these tutorials! Once I'm done, I'm gonna start scripting my game :D

Make sure your file is syntactically correct (no red errors anywhere); if shortcuts still don't work, try switching your workspace to an empty folder (File -> Switch workscape). I don't know why, but often shortcuts stop working because of something saved in the workspace folder. Probably you could alternatively just delete/edit some file or other, but I haven't investigated further.

You are a lifesaver... I'm so fucking happy with these tutorials. I've been wandering in and about trying to find a good tutorial vid for JAVA, and finally.. FINALLY I've found the one. Thank you so much for these. All I can say is.. You're the best, and I love you mr Cave of Programming (no homo)

I must say you do a very good job teaching.

[caveofprogramming]

Scanner is really much more convenient for getting user input.

Thank you so much for this! I just got a 0% on my last quiz and this is helping me more completely understand what I've learned so far. Unfortunately, we don't have any review days built into our schedule so I feel behind.

Hi John, how do I check if the number passed is double or not? I mean how do I verify the data type of the number so that if something else is entered, the program can recognize it

[DoomCatcher]

@KisekiDonum yeah im surprised these tutorials arnt more popular its best beginner java tutorials ive come across so far.

[shoppersdream]

John what is wrong with this line please?
System.out.printf("You entered : %s\n" , line + " and value : %d\n", value + " and float value: %f\n", myFloat);

[japanuser]

Mucho Gracias.

Entrada stime tomar tiempo para acostumbrarse

[srijagunda]

Sir can you please explain y did u use nextint instead of nextvalue

[caveofprogramming]

You need to compare it to another String with .equals(). A String by itself is not true or false.

[flshbangz]

tell me something, isn't it possible to transform a string into a boolean so you can use the "if" statement?

[DoomCatcher]

The shortcuts for scanner arnt working in my eclipse I dont understand why I tried exactly what you did with ctrl+shift and clicking on the left of it but I had a different symbol but I had exact code you have.

[junaidtanoli]

As a non native English application developer I only use English software and make sure my number settings are English as well. My date setting is actually ISO formatted (yyyy-mm-dd). Why? Because some software may not be available in non English languages and having programs mixing up languages only complicates stuff. Users should adapt, not the software. It would save a lot of time/money.
