<DIV>Hello all,</DIV>
<DIV> I recently began learning Java and was wondering what the generally best-thought-of java mailing list was. On the other hand, if anyone on this list has some knowledge of Java, please keep reading.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am trying to write a program to convert numbers (floating and negative, too) from the given base to base 10. As this is part of a larger project, what i have already written will no doubt appear as overkill, but the code in question can be found at <A href="http://rafb.net/paste/results/YDpaXH25.html">http://rafb.net/paste/results/YDpaXH25.html</A> (the relevant section is bounded by 5 lines of asterisk comments on top and bottom). In any case, though the current code has no syntax errors, a runtime error does occur when i try to call it like so;</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>// java code</DIV>
<DIV>public class BasemathInterface {</DIV>
<DIV> public static void main(String[] args) {</DIV>
<DIV> Basemath a = new Basemath();</DIV>
<DIV> a.convertBase(10, 23.4, false);</DIV>
<DIV> }</DIV>
<DIV>}</DIV>
<DIV>//end java code</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>a StackOverflowError:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StackOverflowError</DIV>
<DIV>Press any key to continue . . .</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I suspect this has something to do with line 88, where the second "half" of floating-point numbers are handled, since I've heard StackOverflowErrors are often caused by infinite loops, though i'm not sure how the current code would set up such a loop. Any help would be appreciated.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks in advance,</DIV>
<DIV>Orri</DIV>
