Hey guys and gals,
So for my Java class, (which I have been struggling all semester with) we are supposed to break down a code and say which park of the code does what and why. I selected a simple program that creates a bar graph. If anyone could give me some general comments on which lines do what so I can have more of an idea for my paper. Any help is very appreciated!
