Help with creating a private method

Question

I am working on a project and have the following psuedocode:

// create a private method, getIntValDialog, that returns an integer value and accepts
// two string values as arguments
    // declare and initialize a string variable, sValue, to an empty string
    // Accept input to sValue from a Input Dialog using smessage, stitle, and a question icon as arguments
    // return the integer converted value of sValue
        // end getIntValDialog method

I have an idea, but I don't quite understand how to set this up properly. The psuedocode tells me what I have to do, but I just need some help understanding and visualizing how this works. Any help would be appreciated :)

Answer 1

// create a private method, getIntValDialog, that returns an integer value and accepts 
// two string values as arguments
// declare and initialize a string variable, sValue, to an empty string
// Accept input to sValue from a Input Dialog using smessage, stitle, and a question icon as arguments
// return the integer converted value of sValue
// end getIntValDialog method

Here's what I get out of your pseudo-code:

private int getIntValDialog(String smessage, String stitle)
{
     String sValue = "";

     // Something else is happening here.

     return Integer.valueOf(sValue);
}

You take it from here.

I have an idea, but I don't quite understand how to set this up properly.

Some advice for future questions: If you truly do have an idea, please post it as best you can and let people correct any errors. It'll show good faith effort that you're working.
