Needs a bit of help with javascript program.

For class NumericQuestion Add setAnswer, a method that takes a double as input, converts it to a string and
calls setAnswer in the superclass Question to store the answer.
o Add checkAnswer, a method that takes an answer in string form, converts it to a
double, gets the correct answer in string form from Question, converts it to a
double, and returns true if they are within 0.01 of each other and false otherwise.

For class quiz Change main so that all three questions are asked. presentQuestion that prints out the correct answer, only when the
answer is wrong

public class NumericQuestion {
private String text;
private Double answer;

NO NO NO NO!!!

That code *IS* JAVA code.

It is *NOT* JavaSCRIPT code!!!

DO NOT CONFUSE THE TWO LANGUAGES!!!!

This is the WRONG FORUM for that question.

************

NO MORE Java questions in this forum, PLEASE!

Anyway, you have not even *STARTED* you program correctly!

For class NumericQuestion Add setAnswer, a method that takes a double as input, converts it to a string and
calls setAnswer in the superclass Question

Where is your class Question? You have to have it first before you can make it the superclass of the class NumericQuestion !!!

I apologize for that..thank you that helped.. i now have..but my question 3 is wrong and i cant figure it out.. here is my new codes..thank you for the help so far.

You are not following instructions!

For class NumericQuestion Add setAnswer, a method that takes a double as input, converts it to a string and
calls setAnswer in the superclass Question to store the answer.

WHERE does it say to have a field named answer in the NumericQuestion class????

In fact, it *EXPLICITLY* tells you *NOT* to do that!

o Add checkAnswer, a method that takes an answer in string form, converts it to a
double, gets the correct answer in string form from Question, converts it to a
double, and returns true if they are within 0.01 of each other and false otherwise.

You are doing *NONE* of that. Not one single part of it, other than you have the method named checkAnswer. But it doesn't take the answer in string form, it doesn't convert it to double, it doesn't... Well, it just doesn't.

Look here: http://www.codingforums.com/rules.htm

Read rule 1.5.

If you make an effort to do the work, you can expect help here. But we can't write the code for you, and you haven't even started following instructions yet. Get at least *SOME* of the instructions followed. Okay, I guess at least now you have the class and superclass. But I don't feel that's enough.

Anyway, I'm off to bed.

Try to at least START doing what the instructions say. And then post in the JAVA forum. I'm not going to answer any more JAVA questions in this forum.

Maybe you'll get lucky and a moderator will move this thread to the Java forum. But if not, start posting questions there.

When posting here please help us to help you by following the posting guidelines and wrapping your code in CODE tags.
This means use the octothorpe or # button on the toolbar which will insert the tags. You can (and should) edit your previous post.

Example:-

alert ("This is some JavaScript code!");
