Question

This is for a school project: write a GUI application that will generate multiple 3 digit numbers and count how many times each 3 digit number appears. To make the program more useful, provide the following:

A label that displays the 10 most common 3 digit numbers and the number of times it appeared
A label that displays the 10 least common 3 digit numbers and the number of times it appeared
A button that, when clicked, generates 10,000 random, 3 digit numbers and then populates the two labels mentioned above
NOTE: For each subsequent click of the button, new 3 digit values are generated, however the old counts remain.

I thought I had a good start going here, but when testing it just seems to run endlessly. Here is what I have found out. If I take the arrayFill() out of the form1() the form comes up and hangs when I hit the generate 10,000 random numbers. With the arrayFill() in the form1() the form never loads and I just get an hour glass. I tried just for testing to change the array to a single dimensional array and just trying to fill the 10,000 number to an array of 10,000 and put in a line to say done in the maxLbl label and just got an hour glass again. Just want to see if you guys see issues in my code? (I'm sure there are plenty of holes, :-) )

It hangs coz you told it to

for (int i = 0; i < 1000; )
                {
                    if (lotteryNumbers[i,0] == randomNumber)
                        lotteryNumbers[i,1]++;
                }

Look carefully at your loop

Refresh your knowledge about a for loop and how it actually works.

Its always easier to spot a mistake in someone elses work.

As a kid my parents used to get so frustrated with me, Id write stuff but Im dyslexic and my brain thinks a lot faster than it writes, As as a result Id read what my brain meant to write, not what was on the paper, and Id miss out huge chunks and not see it!

At least if it crashes you should have a good idea why :)

Your min function still tests if the numbers are BIGGER than the ones you have.. You also probably would want to start at a high number and work down as 0 would always be the lowest number..

Boy don't I feel stupid, rookie mistake! I can't believe I did that and this not being my first programming class, lol. I guess sometimes the simple is the most over looked. I may be back as it does start now and crashes, but that is not what brought me here in the first place, just what might bring me back. :-)

This is for a school project: write a GUI application that will generate multiple 3 digit numbers and count how many times each 3 digit number appears. To make the program more useful, provide the following:

A label that displays the 10 most common 3 digit numbers and the number of times it appeared
A label that displays the 10 least common 3 digit numbers and the number of times it appeared
A button that, when clicked, generates 10,000 random, 3 digit numbers and then populates the two labels mentioned above
NOTE: For each subsequent click of the button, new 3 digit values are generated, however the old counts remain.

This almost works the way it should for the maximum only index 0 and 1 are ending up with the same value. The minimum is returning 0 0 for all indexes. Now I would think the > 0 would eliminate all 0 values?

Doh! That is right I thought about that hours ago while working on the maximum method and forgot to address it. I was going to try and initialize it with larger values than the default 0. Thanks for reminding me, now just have to figure out why the double in the maximum method.

Thats why we coders invented a progress called debugging.. watch what it does step by step you'll find it then.

schmidty169 2 Light Poster · Answer 5 · 2008-11-05T02:00:46+00:00

I added this to take care of the error you spotted LizR, thanks!

for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
            {
                minNumbers[i, 1] = 5000;
            }

I notice now that first 8 index's double in pairs and the last two do not for both the max and the min. Onto something, just not sure what.

I think I found it, I'm using the counter from the for statements which of course are -1 by the time they hit the if, I'm really not thinking today!

Nope the counter produces the right values that wasn't it.
