Mapping Problem - "The type of the expression must be an array type but it resolves to float

fatpo

Hey guys, I'm doing a mapping project of NYC subway system using Unfolding Map Library and this error keeps popping up. The error occurred on Line 51 & 52. I am sure that the data I'm pulling out from the excel sheet are floats, since they are geographic coordinates. Also my codes looks like a mess and if anyone has suggestions please feel free to teach me!

Code unreadable, please format. Edit post, highlight code, press Ctrl-0.

Then tell us the line number you are getting the error on.

z.distx = hang.getFloat("stop_lat")[s];
z.disty = hang.getFloat("stop_lon")[s];

Method getFloat() never returns an array. Just a single float value.
So why are you using the array access operator [] on those 2 statements? :-/

Lol my fault. Now I've fixed that but the map wouldn't show up ... any idea why? :-/ Could it be the map service providers?

Dunno about Unfolding library. Maybe look up for other posts about it:

Do you see further error messages in the console (the black area at the bottom of Processing)? Your code shouldn't work, for instance you cannot create Markers like you do. Or is the CSV file with shapes empty, at the moment?
