text
Body
copied!<p>Basically the program i made is for a password that limits things to 6-10 characters and requires at least 1 character and 1 password. How do I take the boolean and turn it into a message. I'm using another class for Japplet UI which is why I want to pass this on.</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> I dont understand how to do this when my other class gets user input.</p> <pre><code>import java.awt.Container; import java.awt.FlowLayout; import java.awt.event.ActionEvent; import java.awt.event.ActionListener; import javax.swing.JApplet; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JLabel; import javax.swing.JTextField; public class PasswordUI extends JApplet implements ActionListener { JLabel passwordLabel = new JLabel(""); JTextField inputBox = new JTextField(40); JButton goButton = new JButton("Go"); Container con = getContentPane(); public void init() { con.setLayout(new FlowLayout()); con.add(new JLabel("Enter a password between 6-10 characters. Must contain atleast 1 number and 1 letter")); con.add(inputBox); con.add(goButton); con.add(passwordLabel); goButton.addActionListener(this); inputBox.addActionListener(this); } public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { String userInput = inputBox.getText(); boolean pass= Password.check(userInput); //String message = Password.display(null); Password mess= new Password(); passwordLabel.setText( mess.getDisplay()); } } public class Password { public static boolean check(String str) { boolean result = false; char ch; int letterCount = 0, digitCount= 0 ; int length = str.length(); if(str.length()>= 6) { if(str.length()<= 10) { for (int i=0; i<length; i++ ) //i<end { ch = str.charAt(i); if (Character.isDigit(ch)) digitCount++; else if (Character.isLetter(ch)) letterCount++; } if (letterCount >= 1 && digitCount >= 1) result = true; } } return result; } public String getDisplay() { String message = ""; if( Password.check(null) == true) This is what I'm having trouble whit { message = "The Password meets the requirements"; } else { message = "Your password does not match the requirements"; } return message; } } </code></pre>
