clearing memory to create a new item

how do I clear my memory after the fifth action?
to be able to create a new basket again and fill it with new balls.
Because now, when you re-create the basket and fill it with balls,
the error appears on the second action (filling the basket)
how to clear the cache with the first bucket so that you can enter the second one?

OOP How do I add defeated enemy's money to main character's bag?

I'm almost done with this java game project. I just have to add a defeated enemy's money to the main character's bag. I also have to add weapons and armor if they are better than the main character's weapons and armor. How do I add the enemy's money to the main character's money? In my mind, main_ch.getBag().getMoney() = main_ch.getBag().getMoney() + enemies[selected].getBag().getMoney(); should work, but it doesn't.
Here is my main class:

You are calling an accessor method like it will also set, which it doesn't. Try something like this:
main_ch.getBag().setMoney(main_ch.getBag().getMoney() + enemies[selected].getBag().getMoney());

Strange behavior of ItemStack

For some obscene reason this works when reward = "DIAMOND" and amount = 10
public ItemStack giveReward() {
return new ItemStack(Material.matchMaterial(reward), amount);
}
p.getInventory().addItem(o.giveReward()); //gives the player 10 DIAMONDS
but when reward = "ACACIA_DOOR" and amount = 1 the same method gives the player NOTHING and no error is thrown. I have no clue why. Also
System.out.println(Material.getMaterial("ACACIA_DOOR"))
prints ACACIA_DOOR so shouldn't my above code work?
here's the rest of the code:
//imports omitted

//test for completeness
//future - allow ops to modify player data

This has tripped people up more than once. Doors are two-component items. ACACIA_DOOR represents the top-part of the door, while ACACIA_DOOR_ITEM represents the bottom-part and also the item id. Use ACACIA_DOOR_ITEM when creating an ItemStack.
Tip: If you are unsure about an item id, launch Minecraft in creative mode and enable Advanced Tooltips by pressing F3+H. The real item id will be displayed in the tool tip as you hover over items in the creative inventory. For example, hovering over an Acacia Door would display
Acacia Door (#0430)
Use this information to lookup the appropriate Material enum in org.bukkit.Material, which in this case would be ACACIA_DOOR_ITEM.

Java blackjack program

So I rewrote it with your suggestion (Todd Hopp) and updated the post in the (*) section in the BlackJack class so you can see how I have it now but I'm still getting the same errors and it is not printing the computePlayerValue for some reason....

P.S. I'm was trying to look this up in the book but couldn't find the answer...The BlackJack class is partially source code from an earlier chapter in the book and I couldn't figure out if it was necessary to have super(); in the constructor there? I thought it only had to do if the parent class constructor had an argument? Any help on if it has to be there and if so what it's doing.

PlayCardGame Class
PlayerCardGame
public class PlayCardGame {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Card CG = new Card();
BlackJack BJ = new BlackJack();
BJ.display();
BJ.dealCards();
}
}

Instead of this line:
cardValue = Integer.parseInt(fullDeck[0].getRank());
I suggest that you create a getCardValue(Card) method:
public int getCardValue(Card card) {
final String rank = card.getRank();
switch (rank) {
case "Ace":
return 1;
case "King":
case "Queen":
case "Jack":
return 10;
default:
return Integer.parseInt(rank);
}
}
and then use:
cardValue = getCardValue(fullDeck[0]);
EDIT: Following the suggestion by #WorldSEnder, you can define a Rank enum:
public enum Rank {
ACE("Ace", 1),
TWO("2", 2),
...
QUEEN("Queen", 10),
KING("King", 10);
private final String displayName;
private final int value;
protected Rank(String displayName, int value) {
this.displayName = displayName;
this.value = value;
}
public String displayName() {
return displayName;
}
public int value() {
return value;
}
}
Then you can modify Card to use a Rank instead of a String for the rank and use:
cardValue = fullDeck[0].getRank().value();

When you call :
cardValue = Integer.parseInt(fullDeck[0].getRank());
the method Interger.parseInt() is attempting to read an int from a string. The problem is that some cards have ranks which themselves are not strings like, King. So when you return the rank of that card, parseInt() doesn't know how to handle King. You should instead be getting the cards actual value using fullDeck[0].getVaule() and parsing that instead. It will be a string between 1 and 13.

Applet does not load on html page

I have this applet and i cant figure out why it doesnt load on html page.I have added full permissions in java.policy file. I use the default html file from NetBeans Applet's output.

Image backImage = new ImageIcon("deck\\back2.png").getImage();
If I am the user of the applet when it is on the internet, the will cause the JRE to search for a File relative to the current user directory on my PC, either that or the cache of FF. In either case, it will not locate an image by the name of back2.png.
For fear of sounding like a looping Clip:
Resources intended for an applet (icons, BG image, help files etc.) should be accessed by URL.
An applet will not need trust to access those resources, so long as the resources are on the run-time class-path, or on the same server as the code base or document base.
Further
I have added full permissions in java.policy file.
This is pointless. It will not be workable at time of deployment unless you control every machine it is intended to run on. If an applet needs trust in a general environment, it needs to be digitally signed. You might as well sign it while building the app.
cant figure out why it doesnt load on html page.
Something that would assist greatly is to configure the Java Console to open when an applet is loaded. There is a setting in the last tab of the Java Control Panel that configures it.
