我应该如何在Java程序中显示代码？

Question

I apologize if this question is too "general"; But my question is very specific to what I am programming and I was not able to find a descent answer anywhere else.

I am creating a "Proof of Concept" program for extra credit in my calc class. Now that the program is finished, I want to make a way to view the coding of the program to show the teacher and explain what I did.

My first thought was to use a JTextPane, but how would that work? I want to find some way to display all the lines of coding, keeping the structure of coding that Java/Eclipse uses.

What is the best way to do this?

Thanks,

-Steven

Answer 1

use system.out.println and get a free account at https://github.com/ and upload your code and the output of your programs . Send the link to your professor ..I think he will be impressed not only by your work but also by how you are presenting your code to him/her to review it.

good luck, I am already impressed that you are searching online to best present your work for that you deserve an A+ too. keep up the good work.

Answer 2

If I was your teacher, I'd prefer to be shown your code within an IDE (such as Eclipse). Then I could browse around as I pleased and see it execute in front of me.

IDEs are built for looking at code :-)

Answer 3

I am preferring you to use your IDE , but anyway : Maybe i am wrong but I think the only way is to get the codes from the (.java) file and copy it to TextArea but it's not perfect like your IDE. I will not post the whole program just the function hope it will be useful for you

  Scanner sc = null;
    try{
        sc=new Scanner(new File("yourProgram.java"));
    }catch(Exception ex){System.out.println(ex.getMessage());}
    String line = "";
    while (sc.hasNextLine()){
        jTextArea1.append(line=sc.nextLine()+"\n");   
    }
