I realized this http://www.cs.albany.edu/~sdc/CSI201/Spr13/Labs/L10/L10.pdf is also needed to complete the project.

I started this and got stuck on question 3, my code so far looks like:

Code

public class House
{
String owner;

public House(String param)
{
this.owner = param;

Picture fPRef = new Picture(FileChooser.pickAFile());
Picture[] hPix;
this.hPix = new Picture[3];

}
public String toString()
{
return("House owned by" + this.owner);

}

public addPic(Picture favPic)
{

favPic = fPRef;
this.show(fPRef);

}
}

oh boy.

1. read up on class variables vs. method variables vs. method parameters
2. look at the line

Code

favPic = fPRef;

and think about all the kinds of wrong this line is
3. think before you write any more code.

sure that's proper instruction but this guy looks and sounds like he does not know what he's doing. no offense. in any case tell him to think about writing code, especially when he doesn't know what to think about isn't the best advice you can give.

"think before writing" is always good advice. you'd be surprised at how little people, especially (but not only) beginners, actually do it.

yes it is good advice, but saying that to someone who doesn't know what to think or how to think is a little.... useless, wouldn't you think? it's like asking why a baby is crying. Well it's a baby and that's all it knows to do, it doesn't know better yet
