Question in caesar encryption code
 

this code of caesar encryption

have some error ,, pleas help me :confused:

the erroe in this statment


chyfer + = STR.charAt((kay+y)%26);

This is also homework. :tisk:

When you encounter error and want a help, please copy error message here.

illegal start expression

Compiler said to you about "+ =" that it don't known what do you mean by addiding "=" sign. If you want to use symbol for "add and assign" it is "+=". Without space between.

thanks eSelix , it was done success

..

--------

when i want to call the method NN in the main ,,



i should to create an object ,, it is true ??


if it is true create an object from what ??

After modified the mistakes got the following code, but it is not run >>


What is the reason ؟؟

package encryption;
import java.util.*;
public class Encryption {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Encryption enc = new Encryption();
Scanner S = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println(" Enter the text");
String massege = S.next();
System.out.println(" Enter the kay");
int key = S.nextInt();

System.out.println( " the word chyfer is " + enc.NN( massege, key) );
}
public String NN ( String massege , int kay )
{
String STR= "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTWXYZ" ;
char current;
String chyfer= "";
for (int i=0; i<=massege .length();i++)
{
current = massege .charAt(i);
for (int y= 0 ; y<=STR.length(); y++) {
if(current==STR.charAt(y))
{
chyfer+=STR.charAt((kay+y)%26);}
}}
return chyfer ;
}}

If you want to access a method belonging to some class, then, depending on from where you want to call it, if from the same class, then you do not create additional object, because you are already in some object (of course you create it if you want to use another instance). If you access it from outside this class where it is defined, then you must use some object on which this method will be working, so you need to create it somewhere. Other rules are when using static methods.


What do you mean by "not run"? Please paste how you are trying to run it, an error messages, etc.

when i run the code ,, it Asks me to enter the text and key ..


but it does not show the word chyfer !!!

like this :

Enter the text
jg
Enter the kay

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 24
at java.lang.String.charAt(String.java:686)

By "Exception" java inform you about error during execution of your program. For example "StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range" means that you tried to get a character from string, but form position where are no more characters. For example As this string had only 4 characters you can't get 7th, it is bad error in Java. You need to remember that characters in string are counted from 0. So in above example you can use indexes 0, 1, 2 and 3 (4 letters), but not index 4 because it would be 5th letter, which not exists in that string.

To localize where you did mistake, java inform you about file and line number where encouter it
File "Encryption.java" line 28. Look there, you probably see a "charAt()" function call with some argument. To debug your program you can print out this value and compare it with possible indexes you can use on that particular string.

Thanks for the clarification, but how to solve this problem ??

Change everywhere you have to You really should learn Java if you want to program in it.

it is no diferrent between < and <=


it depend ......

Well, it is. If for example "something.length()" is equal 3, then "<" do that variable "i" will get 0, 1, 2 and when you use "<=" then "i" will be 0, 1, 2, 3 and in last loop you will get "something.charAt(3)" therefore you get "out of bounds" exception.
