Some messages have been simplified; recompile with -Xdiags:verbose to get full output?

Question

So I am writing a selection sort algorithm that puts turns all the parts of the sort into methods. However, when I compile it, it returns the error:

Note: Some messages have been simplified; recompile with -Xdiags:verbose to get full output

What am I doing wrong?

import java.io.*;
    public class Driver01
   {
       public static void main(String[] args)
      {
        //input
         double[] myArray = {2.0, 3.7, 9.9, 8.1, 8.5, 7.4, 1.0, 6.2};

        //sort the array
         double[] sorted = process(myArray);

        //output
         System.out.print("" + sorted);



      }
      private static double findMax( int EndIndex, double[] enterArray) {
         double max = 0;
         int trueIndex = 0; 
         for( int x = 0; x < EndIndex; x++) {
               if(enterArray[x] > max) {
                  max = enterArray[x];
                  trueIndex = x;
               }
               }

      return trueIndex;
      }
      private static void swap(int swap1, int swap2, double[] enterArray) {
         double temp = 0;
         temp = enterArray[swap1];
         enterArray[swap1] = enterArray[swap2];
         enterArray[swap2] = enterArray[swap1];

      }
      private static double[] process(double[] enterArray) {
         int range = enterArray.length -1;
         for( int x = 0; x < enterArray.length-1; x++) {
            double j = findMax(range, enterArray);
            swap(j, range, enterArray);
            range = range -1;
         }
         return enterArray;
      }
      }

Revised Code:

import java.io.*;
    public class Driver01
   {
       public static void main(String[] args)
      {
        //input
         double[] myArray = {2.0, 3.7, 9.9, 8.1, 8.5, 7.4, 1.0, 6.2};

        //sort the array
         double[] sorted = process(myArray);

        //output
         System.out.print("" + sorted);



      }
      private static int findMax( int EndIndex, double[] enterArray) {
         double max = 0;
         int trueIndex = 0; 
         for( int x = 0; x < EndIndex; x++) {
               if(enterArray[x] > max) {
                  max = enterArray[x];
                  trueIndex = x;
               }
               }

      return trueIndex;
      }
      private static void swap(int swap1, int swap2, double[] enterArray) {
         double temp = 0;
         temp = enterArray[swap1];
         enterArray[swap1] = enterArray[swap2];
         enterArray[swap2] = enterArray[swap1];

      }
      private static double[] process(double[] enterArray) {
         int range = enterArray.length -1;
         for( int x = 0; x < enterArray.length-1; x++) {
            int j = findMax(range, enterArray);
            swap(j, range, enterArray);
            range = range -1;
         }
         return enterArray;
      }
      }

Now the code is printing an array that looks like this: [D@15db9742 What's wrong now?

The full error message is:

Driver01.java:41: error: incompatible types: possible lossy conversion
                         from double to int
            swap(j, range, enterArray);
                 ^

From this, it is clear that you are calling swap with a double argument when it is expecting an int argument.

Now I am not going to suggest a solution, but I would advise you to carefully look at what findMax is doing and what it is returning. Particularly the return type!

(Part of the problem here is that the name of the findMax variable is misleading. The method doesn't do what the name implies that it does.)

So I've edited the code and it compiles. However it is returning a weird array, I've revised the original question to include the revised code. What is wrong now? — Shuryu, May 07 '18 at 01:49
