I have started to work on my first Java program, which is a simple calculator, however I get an error claiming that my array is out of bounds. I have tried to debug it to see where and why that is so, as well as following the code on paper, both of which display the results that I would expect and wish for. Therefore, I can not see where the problem actually lies. The code is not complete.
According to the debugger, the error occurs at this line:
answer = outputNum.get(operationIndex) * outputNum.get(operationIndex+1);
Here is the main part of the code that I currently have:
private class ButtonHandler implements ActionListener {
/*
* "outputNum" stores the numbers entered in order.
* "orderOfOperations" stores all numbers in order after multiplication and division has been taken care of.
* "operationList" stores the mathematical operations entered in order.
* "currentNum" stores the most recently inputed numbers.
* "currentString" stores the most recently inputed string of numbers.
* "answer" stores temporary values and ultimately the answer to the inputed equation.
* "start" stores whether or not the equals button has been pressed and a new equation has started.
*/
ArrayList <Double> outputNum = new ArrayList <Double> (0);
ArrayList <Double> orderOfOperations = new ArrayList <Double> (0);
ArrayList <String> operationList = new ArrayList <String> (0);
Double currentNum = 0.0;
String currentString = "0";
Double answer = 0.0;
boolean start = false;
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
if(event.getSource() == equalsBtn) {
/* Takes the current numbers string and convert it into a double.
* Let the order of operations be the inputed order for now.
* "operationIndex" to get values inside of the unchanging arrays "outputNum" and "operationList".
* "orderIndex" to get values inside of the changing array "orderOfOperations".
*/
currentNum = Double.parseDouble(currentString);
outputNum.add(currentNum);
orderOfOperations = outputNum;
int operationIndex = 0;
int orderIndex = 0;
//Cycle through the mathematical operations that occur in the current equation.
for(String operation : operationList) {
if(operation == "x" || operation == "÷") {
// Multiply/divide numbers with the multiply/divide operations together.
if(operation == "x") {
answer = outputNum.get(operationIndex) * outputNum.get(operationIndex+1);
}
else {
answer = outputNum.get(operationIndex) / outputNum.get(operationIndex+1);
}
// Replace numbers multiplied/divided in the above statement with the new answer.
orderOfOperations.remove(orderIndex);
orderOfOperations.set(orderIndex, answer);
orderIndex++;
}
operationIndex++;
}
// Reset variables to the default values for the new equation.
System.out.println(orderOfOperations);
outputString = answer.toString();
answer = 0.0;
currentNum = 0.0;
currentString = "0";
outputNum.clear();
operationList.clear();
orderOfOperations.clear();
start = true;
}
else if(event.getSource() == additionBtn || event.getSource() == subtractionBtn || event.getSource() == multiplicationBtn || event.getSource() == divisionBtn) {
// Sets the text fields text blank if this is the start of a new equation.
if(start) {
outputString = "";
start = false;
}
/*
* Takes the current numbers string and convert it into a double.
* Add the mathematical operation and reset the current number.
*/
currentNum = Double.parseDouble(currentString);
outputNum.add(currentNum);
operationList.add(event.getActionCommand());
currentString = "0";
outputString = String.format("%s%s", outputString, event.getActionCommand());
}
else {
// Sets the text fields text blank if this is the start of a new equation.
if(start) {
outputString = "";
start = false;
}
// Adds the button value to the text field text and the current number being inputed.
currentString = String.format("%s%s", currentString, event.getActionCommand());
outputString = String.format("%s%s", outputString, event.getActionCommand());
}
outputScreen.setText(outputString);
}
}
