Darkloids. Darkloid David and Darkloid Dark more or less tortured her. I don't think Araby was there yet.

What did The End have to do with it?

This is upsetting.

@Legend

It's accurate though.

That first one is amazing and super useful to anyone who's learning it.

That second one is written by someone who is clearly not a fan of object-oriented programming. I get it and it's a bit funny but it's not true.

I recognize the third one and it needs more descriptors, but it's cute and predicted Beatrice years before she existed.

@Legend

The comments tear it apart and are amazing.

That's crazy. Sorting algorithms should be bundled in later.

God damn that's cool. And the comment is amazing. Glad you sorted that out.

Yeah, but also analyzing other peoples' code is difficult. The problem is easy to miss when you aren't familiar with the internals.

@Legend

True, but I prided myself on helping the people next to me when they had trouble so it hurts double that I can't with this.

It's because static methods. They have to be instance methods because otherwise, the class looks at static variables length and width. I mean, you could technically pass this into the static method as a parameter, but that's super convoluted. Otherwise, the static method has absolutely no way to see instances of your class.

@Legend

Ah, that does make more sense. I figured making new variables would work better, but I totally missed that they were static in the first place.
Geez I always feel like I'm back in class when you come up with a much simpler solution. Bad memories of making a long bit of code for something there was a function in the language for. :/

Time for Please Help Me Find Out What's Wrong With My Code Because It Is Killing Me 2!
If you don't mind it.
I'm mainly concerned with Shape and Rectangle right now. If I get those, I'll be fine. I get no errors when running this, but my values for the Area and Perimeter are always 0.0 no matter what I do.

Shape(dot)java

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Shape {
public static String name = "Unknown";
public static double Area = 0;
public static double Perimeter = 0;
public static void methodName() {
System.out.println("Name of Shape: " + name);
System.out.println("Area of Shape: " + Area);
System.out.println("Perimeter of Shape: " + Perimeter);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
double length = 0;
double width = 0;
System.out.println("Greetings! Please enter 1 for Rectangle, 2 for Square, and 3 for Circle: ");
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
int userInput = in.nextInt();
if(userInput == 1) {
System.out.println("Enter length: ");
Rectangle em = new Rectangle(length, width);
Rectangle dm = new Rectangle();
Rectangle.calculateArea();
}
else if(userInput == 2) {
Rectangle dm = new Rectangle();
Square dm1 = new Square(Area);
}
else if(userInput == 3) {
Circle dm = new Circle();
}
}
private static void getMethodName() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

}
}

Rectangle(dot)java

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Rectangle extends Shape {
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
public static double length;
public static double width;
public Rectangle() {
name = "Rectangle";
length = 0;
width = 0;
System.out.println("Name of Shape: " + name);
}
public Rectangle(double length, double width) {
double tempLength = in.nextInt();
System.out.println("Enter width: ");
double tempWidth = in.nextInt();
length = tempLength;
width = tempWidth;
this.calculateArea();
this.calculatePerimeter();
}
public static void calculateArea() {
Area = length*width;
System.out.println("Area of Shape: " + Area);
}
public static void calculatePerimeter() {
Perimeter = (2*length) + (2*width);
System.out.println("Perimeter of Shape: " + Perimeter);
}

}

Circle(dot)java

public class Circle extends Shape {
public static double radius;
static double pi = 3.141592;
public Circle() {
name = "Circle";
radius = 0;
}
public Circle(double radius) {
radius = in.nextInt();
}
public static void calculateArea() {
Area = pi*radius*radius;
}
public static void calculatePerimeter() {
Perimeter = 2*pi*radius;
}
}

Square(dot)java

public class Square extends Rectangle {
public static double sideLength;
public Square(double sideLength) {
sideLength = in.nextInt();
length = sideLength;
width = sideLength;
}
}

@GalaxyRaider

Well for one, you might be better off getting the length and width in the same place.
Secondly, this might be a different thing with java than I learned, but personally I'd put "width * 2" and "length * 2" instead of "2*width" and "2*length". Not really a problem per say unless java has a hard time with the way you put it.
Third, you're defining length and width as 0. Instead of "templength" and "tempwidth" I'd suggest creating new variables and pulling those instead of trying to apply them back to length and width.
Fourth, it could be an issue of order. Having Rectangle(double length, double width) after defining them as zero could be the problem. Again, I suggest new variables entirely than ones you've already used.
But since I'm not much for Java I bet none of this is applicable.

Happy now soul? I can't post as anyone else until whiz gets his color shit further.
