Can't understand where is the problem (Java) [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Eclipse command line arguments

Closed 3 years ago.
Trying to run a program that swaps names. The task is simple: input > Alice Bob Alex, output > Alex Bob Alice
P.s. Maybe the problem is stupid, but I just recently started programming, so I don't know what to do
I try to run the code in Eclipse - gives an index error. I start in the console - gives an error of the main name. Tried to pass through the internal debugger in Eclipse - writes that I am using obsolete methods. In the end, nothing is clear./
public class Noob {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
System.out.print(args[2]);
System.out.print(" " + args[1]);
System.out.println(" " + args[0]);
}
}
Error message from Eclipse:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: Index 2 out of bounds for length 0
at noob/noob.Noob.main(Noob.java:7)
Console (the file name is Noob.java)
First I compiled src file (> javac Noob.java)
Then I ran it (> java Noob)
Error: Could not find or load main class Noob
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: noob/Noob (wrong name: Noob)

You need to pass three arguments
This is the steps you need to follow, to passing arguments
1-) Click on Run -> Run Configurations
2-) Click on Arguments tab
3-) In Program Arguments section , Enter your arguments.
4-) Click Apply

You are not passing correctly the values to your program. If you call the program from command line with java myProgram Alice Bob Alex your code should work.
Moreover, you can pass the values to your code through Eclipse directly inside Run Configuration option.

Also, it would be better to not hard code the values. Try this:
for (int i=args.length-1; i>=0; i--) {
System.out.print(args[i] + ' ');
}
System.out.println("");

How to fix "error: class found on application class path: Main" in java for visual studio code

this is my first time posting here and would like how to solve this error message. It appears only sometimes and only lets me build on a program called Main.java. I'm a begginer programmer so please bear with me, this is the code im trying to run:
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.text.NumberFormat;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner priceScanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Price: ");
int price = priceScanner.nextInt();
Scanner interestScanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Interest rate: ");
double interest = interestScanner.nextDouble();
Scanner numberOfPaymentsScanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Number of payments: ");
int numberOfPayments = numberOfPaymentsScanner.nextInt();
Double monthlyInterest = interest / 1200;
Double result = ((double)price * ((interest * Math.pow((1 +
interest), (double)numberOfPayments))/((Math.pow((1 + interest),
(double)numberOfPayments)) - 1)));
NumberFormat currency = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
String mortgage = currency.format(result);
System.out.println("Your mortgage is: " + mortgage);
}
}
I haven't seen any comprehensible ways to solve this problem online, and the only thing i think could solve it is to reinstall java in another drive and change the classpath.
Thanks for your attention.

I solved it - my mistake. While executing the program using the terminal I was typing java Main.java, whereas the correct execution method was to type java Main.

With Single-file source-code programs which is a new way of executing 1 File Java programs is only available since Java 11. You can run the command:
java (Java File Name without .java extension)
java Main.java
Though please take into consideration that this way of executing only works if your Java project is only 1 Java File.
FYI:
This single-file source code will be executed fully in memory and you can only import code that came with the JDK you are working.
Finally if you want your code to run as fast as possible compile with javac before executing you program.
javac Main.java
java Main
Just be careful that there is no Main.class already in the folder, this may cause a confusion to the compiler.

Step 1:
javac + Filename.java
Step 2:
java + Filename // execute without add .java

Error running java code that calls external library

I am trying to run some code found at https://darrenjw.wordpress.com/2011/01/01/calling-java-code-from-r/. It mentions that "It relies on Parallel COLT, which must be installed and in the Java CLASSPATH". This is what I am struggling to do.
This is what I have done (I've included my full paths / directory structure in case the points to some error)
I downloaded ParallelCOLT and saved in the directory
C:/Users/david/Documents/RWorkingDir/javaJAR/ParallelColt
I saved the code from the section "Stand-alone Java code" in the directory (also given below)
C:/Users/david/Documents/RWorkingDir/Gibbs/Gibbs.java
Taking a hint from How to include jar files with java file and compile in command prompt, I have tried to set the path to ParallelColt using
javac -classpath ".;C:/Users/david/Documents/RWorkingDir/javaJAR/ParallelColt/parallelcolt-0.9.4.jar;"
C:/Users/david/Documents/RWorkingDir/Gibbs/Gibbs.java # split for presentation
This executes without (visible) error and produced the Gibbs.class file in the Gibbs directory.
I have been unable to run this without error:
C:\>java C:/Users/david/Documents/RWorkingDir/Gibbs/Gibbs 10 1000 1
Error: Could not find or load main class:.Users.david.Documents.RWorkingDir.Gibbs.Gibbs
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:C:.Users.david.Documents.RWorkingDir.Gibbs.Gibbs
and trying to run from the actual directory
C:\>cd C:/Users/david/Documents/RWorkingDir/Gibbs/
C:\Users\david\Documents\RWorkingDir\Gibbs>java Gibbs 10 1000 1
Error: Unable to initialize main class Gibbs
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: cern/jet/random/tdouble/engine/DoubleRandomEngine
I have had a read of What does "Could not find or load main class" mean? but have not found the error. Where are my errors please?
code from webpage:
import java.util.*;
import cern.jet.random.tdouble.*;
import cern.jet.random.tdouble.engine.*;
class Gibbs {
public static void main(String[] arg) {
if (arg.length != 3) {
System.err.println("Usage: java Gibbs <Iters> <Thin> <Seed>");
System.exit(1);
}
int N = Integer.parseInt(arg[0]);
int thin = Integer.parseInt(arg[1]);
int seed = Integer.parseInt(arg[2]);
DoubleRandomEngine rngEngine=new DoubleMersenneTwister(seed);
Normal rngN=new Normal(0.0,1.0,rngEngine);
Gamma rngG=new Gamma(1.0,1.0,rngEngine);
double x=0,y=0;
System.out.println("Iter x y");
for (int i=0;i<N;i++) {
for (int j=0;j<thin;j++) {
x=rngG.nextDouble(3.0,y*y+4);
y=rngN.nextDouble(1.0/(x+1),1.0/Math.sqrt(x+1));
}
System.out.println(i+" "+x+" "+y);
}
}
}
It can be compiled and run stand-alone from an OS shell with the following commands:
javac Gibbs.java
java Gibbs 10 1000 1

You need to run the java command from the directory that contains .class and supply the same -classpath as during compilation with javac.
cd C:/Users/david/Documents/RWorkingDir/Gibbs/
java -classpath ".;C:/Users/david/Documents/RWorkingDir/javaJAR/ParallelColt/parallelcolt-0.9.4.jar;" Gibbs 10 1000 1
If you find this tedious consider building an executable JAR.

Trying to compile Java source (could not find main class)

Trying to learn Java again and I cannot remember how I figured this out the first time around.
I have 3 classes; a GameLauncher, GuessGame, and Player. GameLauncher has my main method.
They are all packaged as chap02, I cannot remember if that is important to me yet.
I am compiling like this: javac GameLauncher.java GuessGame.java Player.java
running like this: java GameLauncher
I am getting this error: Could not find or load main class GameLauncher.
I know this is a ridiculous issue, but I have always had trouble with this kind of stuff. The actual programming and writing code I can pick up just fine, but dealing with these damn compilers always gets me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
package chap02;
public class GameLauncher {
public static void main (String[] args) {
GuessGame game = new GuessGame();
game.startGame();
}
}
Edit: The issue isn't with the actual code, the issue is with how I am compiling it.

When running the program, you have to run it form the correct directory. Remember, that you used packages, so you have the following package-structure
src
chap02
GameLauncher.java
GuessGame.java
Player.java
after compilation, you will find the corresponding .class-files in the chap02-folder. To start the game, you have run the following command from the src-directory:
java chap02.GameLauncher
Since you specified a package in the source code, you have to use the full qualified name, including the package, to which the class belongs.
EDIT as vefthym mentioned, you have to compile the code in the same way, running
javac chap02/GameLauncher.java
from the source-directory.
EDIT 2
"src" is the directory, where your src lies. I, for example, have my Code unter X:\JDK-Projects[Project-name]\src. You have to specify the full absolute path to the src-Directory or the relative path form the directory you are currently in.

"Error: Could not find or load main class My.class"

Im using Java SDK 1.7 on Windows 7 via cmd.exe . Up until a few hours ago everything was working correctly when suddenly I was unable to run my compiled class files, consistently presented with the error in the title.
I seem to be able to compile my My.java file however I am unable to run the resulting class file (My.class). I am constantly given the error "Error: Could not find or load main class My.class". I have tried this with multiple other class files all resulting in the same problem.
My 'Path' environment variable is set to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_05\bin" if you were wondering
I have tried reinstalling, creating and setting a classpath variable (no luck), and even directly using the
java -cp . My.class
command.
I have tried these posts all to no avail, hence why I'm posting:
Error: Could not find or load main class
Error: Could not find or load main class- Novice
Could not find or load main class
Java 1.7.0_03 Error: Could not find or load main class
If it makes any difference my code is :
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
class My {
public static void main(String[] args) {
final double x = 3.2;
int i = (int)x;
double m = 0;
if (x < 4) {
String saySomething = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(i);
System.out.println(saySomething);
}
else {
String saySomething = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(i);
System.out.println("Hello World");
}
while (m < 10) {
System.out.print(" While Loop ");
m++;
};
for (i=1; i < 10; i++) {
System.out.println("For Loop");
};
}
}

You should specify the classname instead of the file of the class to load. The difference is a simple matter of removing the .class extension.

I would use an IDE and you shouldn't get these issues. Compile and run is just a click of the mouse.
BTW to run your program from the command line
java -cp . My
You don't add .class

Position yourself in a directory of your project (you need to have src and bin directories there, assuming you keep sources in src and binaries in bin)
java -cp bin My

I myself was facing the same problem. It was happening because I was being remiss in typing the name of the class properly. In my instance, I was typing
java doubler
instead of
java Doubler
