Java programming fun

Factual Questions

Does anyone happen to know of a good tutorial that would help me learn how to use Java to take a string of numbers and return things like the square, cube, or square root of the input string?

I am flipping though lots of tutorials but still can’t find that type of info that helps me out that much.

Try looking through http://java.sun.com, especially the forums there.

I second the link for sun.com:

I found that I was able to figure out how to get things done faster by doing this:

  1. Search through the Java docs for what I’m wanting to do. (In your case: ‘square root’.)
  2. See if the functions that pop up look anything like what you want to do.
  3. Do a search on the function name on the Internet, and pair it with ‘java tutorial’.

Usually the hardest part is that second step: sorting through the functions available that mention what you want to do, and seeing which may do the job. Then, once you see the tutorial’s that use them, it’ll make it clear if that particular function does what you want it do to.
