The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Compare string array values

Asked by clivecrawdevil in Java Programming Language

Tags: string, array, compare

Hi Experts

I am designing a MUD game and wanted to include a dance feature, something similar to dance dance revolution but for the keyboard. Unfortunately you cannot use keypress in a telnet session so I opted for an array of strings that are printed to the screen and the user has to type them back.

This is my code

public void dance(){

                        String input = null;
                        String[] word = new String[20];
                        String[] moves = {"up ","up "};
                        
                        for(int i=0; i< moves.length; i++){
                              Game.server.out(moves[i]);
                              try {
                                    input = Game.server.ir.readLine();
                                    word = input.split(" ");
                                    String out = moves[i];
                                    for(int j=0; j<word.length; j++){
                                    String in = word[j];
                                    if(in.equalsIgnoreCase(out)){
                                          Game.server.out("Cool");
                                    }
                                    }
                              } catch (IOException e) {
                                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                                    e.printStackTrace();
                              }
                        try{
                        Thread.sleep(1000);
                        }
                        catch(Exception e)
                        {
                        System.out.println(e);
                        }
                        }                  
      }

It prints the array to the screen and accepts the incoming text but does not seem to compare the values tried all sorts can’t get it to work would appreciate any help.

What I would like is the word to print to the out stream the user enters it into the in stream and if it is right the out stream prints cool or something like that and then prints the next item in the array.

Thanks

Clive
