data validation



I am writing a loan calculate with data validation. My maximum loan amount is 1,000,000 and I am using the method below to validate. When I enter 1,000,000 into the program it comes back with my error method. I thought (d >= max) would allow me to go up to and including my max. Can anyone see a problem with this method or is it possible I should be looking elsewhere in my code for a problem.





Any help is appreciated.







public static double getDoubleWithinRange(Scanner sc, String prompt, double min, double max)

{

double d = 0.0;

boolean isValid = false;

while (isValid == false)

{



d = getDouble (sc, prompt);

if (d <= min)

{

System.out.println(

"Error! Number must be greater than " + min + "." );

}

else if (d >= max)

{

System.out.println("Error! Number must be less than " + max + "." );

}



else

isValid = true;

}

return d;







//Get input from user System.out.println("DATA ENTRY"); double loanAmount = getDoubleWithinRange (sc, "Enter loan amount: ",0, 1000000); double interestRate = getDoubleWithinRange (sc, "Enter yearly interest rate: " , 0, 20); int years = getIntWithinRange (sc, "Enter number of years: ",0,100);

  1. you are saying if the amount is greater than or equal to one million cause an error. you want to say if it is greater than show an error

  2. Use else if (d>max), since you want up to 1,000,000 (and 1,000,000 can be included).

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
