I'll concede that I probably should have left the "circlejerk" part of it out, but this thread honestly has become that.

You're making a lot of weird assumptions off my post.  I also never insulted you guys, outside of the circlejerk statement which I just addressed. 

Where did I ever say I'm not a tech enthusiast?  I said not everyone out there is a tech enthusiast, like WE are.  "We" includes me.  I'm a CoSci student in Uni, been into programming, security, etc since I was young. 

I'll clarify, since you hopped on me about the "easily and conveniently" thing.  I use my iPod for email, GPS, calendar, music, social media, pictures and video, games to keep me occupied in between classes.  It does all this great, does what I need it to do.  I don't need my 4" iPod to break into Wifi networks, do programming, etc.  You launched right into talking about Linux, so you basically compared Linux, a full-blown desktop OS, to my iPod as far as functionality.  Cool lol.  Nowhere did I say that my iPod is more functional than Linux. 

Ease of use and convenient access doesn't excuse a whole host of other problems, why do you think we put up with having to configure Linux?

What "whole host of other problems" does the ease and convenience of my iPod open up?  Just curious. 

Also, yes, you guys have been indirectly insulting people who use Apple products this entire thread.  I'll point out the more direct "dumb bimbos" statement as well.

It's what happens when your administration team actually knows what the fuck is going on. Not implying that your old site isn't good. I'm just implying that we are better.

Hahaha, the old site is dead now so by default you guys are better.  But yes, more active management and site overall, so definitely better.

Anybody know what they're getting for christmas?

An xBox I believe.

Thanks for the stuff, EvilZone

I'll be able to work on this again in a couple days.  I have final exams right now that I have to study for, so no spare time unfortunately.  Thanks for responding about the bounds.  And yes, I have experience with exception handling so I'll put that in as well when I get the chance, hopefully over this weekend.

I'm just gonna leave this here:

There is no easy way.  There is no shortcut.  There is no "guide" to being a hacker.  To become a hacker, you need to learn, grow, explore, create, destroy.  Do things no one has ever done before.  Learn to program, learn hardware and software inside and out.  Learn everything.

This took me a little bit of looking at it to figure out why it would be looping infinitely... then I saw it.


Then my mind broke. 


Definitely should just be "return d", as these other fine people have said.

Alright, so Deque, I get what you're saying about wanting the loop condition to handle when to end the loop, but I'm not quite sure how to do that.  I've tried putting the condition of if the input is exit or quit in the condition, but it ends up printing out the encoded string and THEN exiting when I do that.  Same with do-while.  Saying exit or quit makes the program stop, but it also spits back the encoded message first, which is not what I want.  I guess I could possible do a nested while loop and this would take care of that, but also be much less elegant and end up making future programmers have to look through two loops instead of one.  So maybe I'm missing something here, but having while(true) and then break seems like the best way so far.  Any hints in the right direction would be appreciated.


So here is my modularized code, like you wanted:



/**

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Main
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        String userInput = "";
        while(true)
        {
            System.out.println("Your input?");
            userInput = getInput();
            if(userInput.equalsIgnoreCase("exit") || userInput.equalsIgnoreCase("quit"))
            {
                break;
            }
            System.out.println(encode(userInput));
        }
    }
   
    private static String getInput()
    {
        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
        String userInput = input.nextLine();
        input.close();
        return userInput;
    }
   
    private static String encode(String input)
    {
        char[] charArray = input.toCharArray();
        for(int index = 0; index < charArray.length; index++)
        {
            ++charArray[index];
        }
        String s = new String(charArray);
        return s;
    }
}


Not gonna lie, the encode method pissed me off a little till I switched to a traditional for loop instead of the for-each.  Not sure if you want the main method to be cut down more than this or not.  I'll try something after I post this to see if I can cut it down a little more, but for now, there we go. 

Hereeee we go.  Looking forward to continuing this.  Grats on the kid


import java.util.Scanner;


public class Main

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        boolean done = false;
        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
        while(!done)
        {
            System.out.println("Your input?");
            String user_input = input.nextLine();
            if(user_input.equalsIgnoreCase("exit") || user_input.equalsIgnoreCase("quit"))
            {
                System.exit(0);
            }
            else
            {
                System.out.println(user_input + "\n");
            }
        }
    }
