coding in java, lessons learnt, assimilating knowledge

ok here's my biggest program so far:



actually it doesn't all fit in there but it's nothing very special

the first thing you notice about java is that there is no auto-correction..... they didn't have that either in the late 80s or early 90s when my last bout of coding like this occurred, however, apparently, some coding programs have that now like visual basic or c+ or whatever, not sure which ones have it, but java doesn't..... hard to understand why java doesn't incorporate it into future models as it is such a wide ranging industry standard language now, as big as apple hardware - like I-phones, but in the software world

so with no auto correct, if you just make one little mistake, there's nothing to tell you what's wrong, for example, a lot of commands or lines have to end with a semi-column, but sometimes they don't! depending on the situation.... that's annoying

anyway, it's early days and it's still just baby steps for now so we'll see how that goes in a few months time
