    Convert C++ Code to Java

    Hello. I just wandering on how to convert C++ code to Java since I have an assignment in converting this C++ Code to Java. Please help me thanks. I also need to study the difference in the implementation of the code in C++ and Java hehe. #javabegginer

    #include <iostream>
    #include <iomanip>
    #include <string>
    using namespace std;

    struct StudentGrade
    {
    int quiz1;
    int quiz2;
    int midterm;
    int final;
    int total;
    string firstName;
    string lastName;
    double percent, avg;
    char letterGrade;
    };

    void getData(StudentGrade& g);
    void setLetterGrade(StudentGrade& g);
    void format(int n);

    #define W(i) setw(17)
    #define Y(i) setw(10)

    int main()
    {
    char run_again;

    do
    {
    StudentGrade g;
    getData(g);

    const double Q_PERCENT = 12.5;
    const double M_PERCENT = 25.0;
    const double F_PERCENT = 50.0;
    const int Q_SCORE = 10;
    const int E_SCORE = 100;

    double q1 = double(g.quiz1) / Q_SCORE * Q_PERCENT;
    double q2 = double(g.quiz2) / Q_SCORE * Q_PERCENT;
    double m = double(g.midterm) / E_SCORE * M_PERCENT;
    double f = double(g.midterm) / E_SCORE * F_PERCENT;

    g.total = g.quiz1 + g.quiz2 + g.midterm + g.final;
    g.percent = q1 + q2 + m + f;

    int tScore = Q_SCORE * 2 + E_SCORE * 2;
    double tPercent = Q_PERCENT * 2 + M_PERCENT + F_PERCENT;

    setLetterGrade(g);

    format(1);
    cout << endl << endl;
    cout << "Here are the results for " << g.firstName << " " << g.lastName << "." << endl;
    cout << Y(i) << "TEST" << Y(i) << "TEST" << Y(i) << "MAX" << W(i) << "GRADE SCORE"

    What part of the C++ code don't you understand?

    Your assignment seems to come from here as someone's solution to an exercise in Absolute C++ by Savitch.

    http://www.sr2jr.com/textbook-soluti...es-and-classes

    Maybe it was your Java instructor who posted it there?

    Anyway, why not use a free C++ to Java converter? There are quite a few on the internet.

    I also need to study the difference in the implementation of the code in C++ and Java
    The C++ program adheres to the procedural programming paradigm. That means a straight conversion to Java will use the static keyword extensively. However, overusing static is considered bad Java. So, except for the syntax, the C++ and Java versions will be identical. But they will be perceived differently by each programming community - okay in C++, not okay in Java.

    Re: Convert C++ Code to Java

    As you have the original exercise requirements, I'd suggest you forget the C++ code and code your own version direct in Java. You'll learn more.

    It's not even that good C++ code... Perhaps 'better' C++:

    I agree. The code the OP posted looks like written by a C++ newbie, which it probably is, considering where it originates (as someone's solution to a textbook exercise). No programming language educator with self-respect would "borrow" such code and reuse it in an assignment.

    I tried the first free C++ to Java converter I found on the internet on your code.

    https://c-to-java-converter-free-edi....informer.com/

    Here is the result:

    Code:
    public class GlobalMembers
    {
    
    	public static StudentGrade getData()
    	{
    		StudentGrade g = new StudentGrade();
    
    		System.out.print("Enter the student's first name: ");
    		g.firstName = ConsoleInput.readToWhiteSpace(true);
    
    		System.out.print("Enter the student's last name: ");
    		g.lastName = ConsoleInput.readToWhiteSpace(true);
    
    		System.out.print("Enter Quiz 1 score (maximum is 10): ");
    		g.quiz1 = Integer.parseInt(ConsoleInput.readToWhiteSpace(true));
    
    		System.out.print("Enter Quiz 2 score (maximum is 10): ");
    		g.quiz2 = Integer.parseInt(ConsoleInput.readToWhiteSpace(true));
    
    		System.out.print("Enter Midterm score (maximum is 100): ");
    		g.midterm = Integer.parseInt(ConsoleInput.readToWhiteSpace(true));
    
    		System.out.print("Enter Final score (maximum is 100): ");
    		g.final = Integer.parseInt(ConsoleInput.readToWhiteSpace(true));
    
    		g.quiz1 = g.quiz1 > 10 ? 10 : g.quiz1;
    		g.quiz2 = g.quiz2 > 10 ? 10 : g.quiz2;
    		g.midterm = g.midterm > 100 ? 100 : g.midterm;

    		}
    		else
    		{
    			g.letterGrade = (byte)'F';
    		}

    Note the heavy use of the static keyword. That is not considered good Java. So even well-written procedural C++ converted straight into Java will not be well received. If it is an assignment, you will not get a high grade, even if it works. You are supposed to leave "the static environment of main()" as quickly as possible and never look back.

    Re: Convert C++ Code to Java

    It's not even a 'correct' conversion. I used unsigned to remove the need to check for a value < 0 - but Java has gone back to using int so the checks for < 0 need to be re-instated.

All my code is tested (unless stated explicitly otherwise) with the latest version of Microsoft Visual Studio (using the supported features of the latest standard) and is offered as examples only - not as production quality.

    Oops! Well, converting between languages is a daunting task. Nevertheless, in this case, the converter should have issued a to-do warning (as I see it usually does when it omits something). Unsigned is not part of Java but is common in C++. Maybe it is better handled in the commercial version of the converter. However, I used the converter to show that a straight conversion of procedural C++ does not produce idiomatic Java. The static keyword becomes overused. And for this purpose, the converter worked.
