hi am new to java and have a problem in displaying the x and y points on the graph to solve this ax3+bx2=x+d=0

here is the code

import javax.swing.*;

hi, i'm not sure what u want yor program to do. But in these lines where you used 2 for loops , the internal loop is doing really nothing, just assiging the maximum value to x [index].....
hope this will be of some help
for(index=0;index < x.length;index++)
{
for(int i=Min;i<=Max;i++)
{
x[index]=i;
//{
}

hi,the code is to calculate and store the result to the array,then it s now must pass the array to the graph which will produce a cubic cuvre,ploting of the graph is okey just puting the two together,the forloop works aright,
