    <p>I have a fairly complex (well, for me it is) program that is supposed to simulate 5 lines in a grocery store. A person goes up to the line and finds one that is empty and then proceeds to checkout. If all of the lines are full, the person joins the line with the shortest wait time. This program has been adapted from another one that was in my book (thus all of the comments). I was able to get this to work with just 2 lines but with 5 I am unable to get it to work correctly.</p> <pre><code>// FILE: Carwash.java // This program illustrates the use of the lineSimulate method which uses // a simple queue to simulate cars waiting at a car wash. import java.util.LinkedList; import java.util.Queue; import java.util.Scanner; // import edu.colorado.simulations.BooleanSource; // import edu.colorado.simulations.Line ; // import edu.colorado.simulations.Averager; /****************************************************************************** * The &lt;CODE&gt;CarWash&lt;/CODE&gt; Java application illustrates the use of * the &lt;CODE&gt;lineSimulate&lt;/CODE&gt; method. * The illustration uses the following values: * &lt;CODE&gt; * &lt;br&gt;lineTime = 240 * &lt;br&gt;arrivalTime = 0.0025 * &lt;br&gt;totalTime = 6000 * &lt;/CODE&gt; * * &lt;p&gt;&lt;dt&gt;&lt;b&gt;Java Source Code for this class:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;dd&gt; * &lt;A HREF="../applications/CarWash.java"&gt; * http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~main/applications/CarWash.java * &lt;/A&gt; * * @author Michael Main * &lt;A HREF="mailto:main@colorado.edu"&gt; (main@colorado.edu) &lt;/A&gt; * * @version * Jun 12, 1998 ******************************************************************************/ public class LineWait { /** * The main method activates &lt;CODE&gt;lineSimulate&lt;/CODE&gt; with the values: * &lt;CODE&gt; * &lt;br&gt;lineTime = 240 * &lt;br&gt;arrivalTime = 0.0025 * &lt;br&gt;totalTime = 6000 * &lt;/CODE&gt; * &lt;BR&gt;The &lt;CODE&gt;String&lt;/CODE&gt; argument (&lt;CODE&gt;args&lt;/CODE&gt;) is not used in * this implementation. **/ public static void main(String[ ] args) { final int LINETIME = 100 + (int)(Math.random() * ((400) + 1)); final double ARRIVALPROB = (Math.random() * ((.1) + 1)); final int TOTALTIME = 6000; lineSimulate(LINETIME, ARRIVALPROB, TOTALTIME); } /** * Simulate the running of a car washer for a specified amount of time. * @param &lt;CODE&gt;lineTime&lt;/CODE&gt; * the number of seconds required to wash one car * @param &lt;CODE&gt;arrivalProb&lt;/CODE&gt; * the probability of a customer arriving in any second, for example * 0.1 is 10% * @param &lt;CODE&gt;totalTime&lt;/CODE&gt; * the total number of seconds for the simulation * &lt;dt&gt;&lt;b&gt;Precondition:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;dd&gt; * &lt;CODE&gt;lineTime&lt;/CODE&gt; and &lt;CODE&gt;totalTime&lt;/CODE&gt; are positive; * &lt;CODE&gt;arrivalProb&lt;/CODE&gt; lies in the range 0 to 1. * &lt;dt&gt;&lt;b&gt;Postcondition:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;dd&gt; * The method has simulated a car wash where &lt;CODE&gt;lineTime&lt;/CODE&gt; is the * number of seconds needed to wash one car, &lt;CODE&gt;arrivalProb&lt;/CODE&gt; is * the probability of a customer arriving in any second, and * &lt;CODE&gt;totalTime&lt;/CODE&gt; is the total number of seconds for the * simulation.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
