Use GUI application to be used to test Kindergarden children on the alphabet (‘A’-‘Z

[funjoke88]

The application will ask questions like:

What comes after D?

A child is expected to answer the question and the application will inform the child if the answer is correct or wrong. The application will ask a total of 20 questions. After all 20 questions have been answered, the application will display a score (from 0 to 20) to inform the child how many questions he or she answered correctly. The application will also list all the letters that were asked.

The letters tested are from ‘A’ up to ‘Y’. Do not include the letter ‘Z’. The letters are selected randomly. No letters are to be repeated, that is, each letter is only asked once in the 20 questions.

Note: The java.util.Random class can be used to generate random numbers. For example, the following statements may be used to generate a random number from 0 to 4 inclusive:

Random generator = new Random();
int number = generator.nextInt(5);

#I have been started and my code facing some problem in gui application ,can anybody help me in this coding of GUI.and the code i attached below also have some problem .when i tested it ,the letter is repeated .how to solve it?

but this question no need include z ...and when i tested the code ,what letter come after z,it returns error

[vchandra]

change this line private int ind = 26;
to private int ind = 24;

may i know what is the gui application code ?i do not know how 2 do it ...

[javaAddict]

Why, have you given any effort?

In the entire thread, vchandra has been given you the answer even though it is against the forum rules. You have showed no effort from your part. You just took the code, run it, and report back what you didn't like in order to get the latest code. Now that you are "satisfied" with the result you want the gui program written for you as well?

If the code given works for you, then do some studying on your own and start writing the gui application. Post some code in order to get positive feedback.

And to vchandra.
Please next time use code tags when posting code. Press the code button and put your code inside.
Also, as noble as your motives were, you were giving hime everything and when there was an error, YOU were the one again trying to solve it in order to post the correct code. After given him the code instead of trying to understand it and correct it, he was expecting everything from you. It is not your job to do funjoke88's homework.
Now that he wants the GUI version, he is unable to do it on his own because he hadn't learned anything. How was that helpful and how is he going to learn how to complete his next assignments. Do you plan on doing all of his homework?

I am only saying this, because I don't think it is fair on your behalf to do his work for him. If you want to spend your time to do some one else's work then go ahead. But I don't think it is fair for you.

[vchandra]

I didnt know the rules and regulations, I have joined this forum before 3 days and only purpose was to help others.
I didnt know that ppl are posting only homeworks here.

It is good to help others with their homework. But in this case you ended up doing all the work.
Let's us both wait for funjoke88 to post some of his code, before giving any more assistance. It wouldn't be too difficult with all the help you gave him.
