Description:

Objective

• You will be able to discern and contrast the major programming language paradigms in use today.
• You will be able to pick an appropriate language for the job at hand.
• You will have deeper insights into the evolution of programming languages.

Announcements:

public static void main(String[] args) {
	
	CalcParser p = new CalcParser(args[0]);
	
	if (p.getErrorMessage() == null)
		System.out.println(p.getValue());
	else
		System.out.println(p.getErrorMessage());
}

fun listavg(L:int list) =
     let
        fun count([]) = 0
          | count(x::xs) = 1 + count(xs);

        fun sum([]) = 0
          | sum(x::xs) = x + sum(xs);

     in
        real(sum(L))/real(count(L))
     end

STEP 1: Find the eclipse.ini file inside the eclipse folder.
STEP 2: Make a copy of the file and place it somewhere in your computer for backup purpose.
STEP 3: Open the file by double clicking on it. It should open in notepad.
STEP 4: Replace everything with these set of instructions and go to step 5, you are not done yet: 

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.100.v20080509-1800.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.0.100.v20080509-1800
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07\bin\javaw.exe
-vmargs
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m
 
NOTE: If you like try to add the red text to your existing file, it might be enough for you.

STEP 5: The -vm (red text) is followed by C:\ Program Files..., Find the path to your jre/jdk, it should be in the in the Program Files\Java\.....\bin\javaw.exe
STEP 6: Modified the above path (red) with yours, keeping -vm in front of it.
STEP 7: Select save as click on the save as type drop down menu and choose all file. You should see the eclipse.ini file select it and click yes to overwrite it.

ECLIPSE SHOULD WORK NOW.
