I am pretty fresh in the java environment but i am working hard to learn. I wrote the code for a calculator, however I am having problems in making the memory buttons function properly. I have to create 4 memory buttons that function in the following way: When the memory button is pushed once, whatever value is in the textfield has to be remembered. When the same memory button is pushed again, the remembered value has to be placed into the text field, and so on. The major conflict is that all four buttons must store and draw their values from the same array. If you can please help me with this, give any suggestions !! Your help is very much appreciated.
