These terms have a much more precise definition in IT specifications
than they have in plain English.

Confusing must and should?

Probably not today.

But that is not really the point.

The point is that at some point in time we got it right because
somebody told us or pointed us to a good source of information.

Those that learn when they are told something gain knowledge - those
that gets offended does not.

This is not really about English. The words was spelled correctly
and used grammatically correct (as far as I can tell).

But the way they were used to describe how to write a specific
programming language (Java) was not correct.

It would have been pretty bad if nobody had explained
what was correct and what was not.

must and should are not keywords in the Java programming language.

No.

But correct terminology for Java is not limited to Java keywords,
so that means nothing.

And given that:
- I never criticize someone for not writing correct English
- You do
  then the above is just so hypocritical ...

He seems to be on some sort of crusade against you and Lew, especially,
and he includes me because I dare speak up on your behalf. I mentioned
your apparent problems with verbs and adverbs, but he ignored that in
his condescending and insulting reply. He thinks he has the right to
insult us, from some imagined moral high ground. I think he is just a jerk.

BS. I never prescribed or dispensed any "medicine". And you have no

Lars, Lars, just listen to yourself.

"... since you resort to name-calling. You are a moron"

You are resorting to name calling Lars.
What does that make you ... think about it.

Logical deduction should lead you to only one conclusion.
Have you figured it out yet?

There was nothing concrete in your reply, so I called you on it. You
behave like a troll or moron, so you probably are one. You are a
troublemaker. You have called me names and given me condescending,
slighting, and insulting replies avoiding the actual issues, for no
reason. I deeply resent that.

I'll tell you what Lars, I'll stop 'insulting' you when you stop 
defending the indefensible e.g the appalling behavior of certain members 
of this community. If you mind your own business I will have no reason 
to 'insult' you. Lew and Arne and the others are more than capable of 
defending themselves, I'm not sure why you so frequently feel the need 
to add your voice to the din.

Oh BTW, I have nothing against Arne and Lew and a few others, I don't 
know them so how could I. what I object to is their behavior towards new 
posters.

I've explained this multiple times now, I'm not sure what it is you 
don't understand.

I don't understand why you think you have a right to insult me because I
don't accept your views on what Arne, Lew and others are doing. Why
shouldn't I speak up? Your views are heavily biased. You are becoming
more and more like a certain copious and opiniated poster in another
newsgroup. Anyway, Lew has you binned, I think.

If Bloch has me killfiled then I consider that a badge of honor.
I don't use them myself. If you are delicate enough to be offended by 
anything you read on Usenet then I suggest you should probably do 
something else with your time.

Hey, I've an idea, why don't you do the same as Bloch, at least I won't 
have to listen to your bleating and whining every time I pull them up 
about their ignorant and condescending behavior.

Thanks all. Yes, the assignment is simply to show it works correct. This is my second time working with BluJ. I am just starting to learn.


I am not sure if this part is correct:

public static void main(String [] args)
    {
        int x=1;

-Should it be int num=1;  ?

Here is more details of my assignment. I hope this helps in understanding in case I was vague in my prior posts:


invoke this method for the following values for the num parameter (in the specified order)
You can do this directly from main or from some other method / methods invoked by main.
When the method is invoked, one of the calling methods must output the appropriate
message.

In other words:
 if we passed the value
0 as an argument to num,
 it would display this message (on a line by itself):

 isNumberOdd is false for the number 0

     For future reference, comp.lang.java.programmer is (in theory)
for questions more advanced than yours, and the answers you see
here are likely to presuppose more knowledge of Java than a beginner
probably has.  That is, a lot of the answers will make no sense to
you because they'll assume you have mastered Lesson Eighteen when
you're still struggling with Lesson Three.

     There's another newsgroup, comp.lang.java.help, that is (again,
in theory) more suitable for those who are just getting started.
I suggest you ask questions about forthcoming assignments there
rather than here.

Your method can be static.  That simplifies things.
