Hello, help newbie with Java

[Colb]

OK, I have this project to turn in Tuesday morning:

Write an HTML file that will have the Javascript to do the follwing

[1]. Loop until -99 is entered

[2]. Display a Menu of the following choices

1. Convert Celsius temperature into Fahrenheit
2. Convert Fahrenheit temperature into Celsius
3. Compute an area of a circle
4. Compute Circumference of a circle
5. Compute area of a triangle
6. Display a string in reverse
7. Display a diamond with the dimension and a character entered by the user.
8. Continue (anything but -99) or Exit (-99)

All of these things we need are to be "found" on the internet. I have 1-5 but I just don't understand the loop -99, the diamond thing, and the reverse string. Any help?

Hi Colb...

I just Googled # 6 on your list and found the answer.

www.google.com

Personally I think that you should try figuring it out, determine what specifically is causing you difficulty, and then re-post something more specific.

A To-Do list on a forum like this seems a little tacky to me (and besides.... these people are all very busy doing my work for me so that I can earn a living without having any actual skills. LOL).

But seriously... if you have specific questions, I'm sure that a lot of people will be willing to help.

Good luck... (and seriously... I have no skills, so please don't tell my boss. lol)...

Thanks for the help. I honestly don't know how I did not find results for that the first time, as I did a search for the other ones. But hey, I know little about html and nothing about java. I don't want to be a programmer, I just want tofind the answers and thats it:D . Anyway thanks!

[Colb]

Anyone else?

If you don't want to explain some answers, could someone post a link on how to loop. Thanks.

Heres how to loop...

for (i=0; i>-100; i--)
{
//do something
}

OK, how do I edit this so it will loop untill -99 in entered?

[pyro]

That should be what it does...

Just curious as to what your major is...

[Colb]

Me? Management.

I made the mistake of taking an upper level BSAT(computer business) class for for an elective I had open. Turns out everybody in there is all BSAT majors that have all taken a class concerning C++ only. This is my first time looking at html or javascript.

I know alot about hardware, but the software side is my weakness.:p
