How do you calculate the area of a square in Java? starstarstarstarstar   Posted by: AramHilgno on Friday, November 25, 2011

Sorry.Wrong question. Actually, the question is, how do I implement a method,such as compareTo, from the interface,Comparable, and use this method so that squares are compared according to their sides?

How often will I fall when learning how to ride a bike? starstarstarstar   Posted by: AramHilgno on Thursday, December 01, 2011

I've already fallen a handful of times while learning how to ride a bike at the age of 45. I only rode the bike once without falling. How often would you expect one would fall while learning how to ride a bike?
