hehe...
switch(target) {
case "squirrel":
setWeapon(pellet_gun);
shootTarget(target);
if (!targetDead(target))
return;
else
break;
case "arv1328":
setWeapon(blunt_object);
poundTarget(target);
if (!targetDead(target))
return;
else
break;
}

hmm...something seems wrong about pragma's code...maybe not efficient enough...
BTW, what does 'return' in a switch statement do?

bleh, all your codes are far to innefficiant, all you need is:
(the file is named Main.java)
class Main {
public static void Main(String[] args) {
Person nastyPerson = new Person();
kill(nastyPerson);
}
private kill(Person target) {
for (moveTo(target.location); beatWithPointyStick(target); !target.isDead) {};
disposeOf(target);
}
private beatWithPointyStick(Person target) {
//this is far to long and complex, and im sure you know how
}
private disposeOf(Person target) {
//this too is too long
}
}
ok, so thats technicly longer then yours, but mine will acctually compile  (well, if the object included acctually exsited as classes (eg 'Coordinate' and 'Person'))
EDIT: (some minor adjustments)

Btw Talien, are you the very same Talien that I argued with for about an hour in Izlude? I was a mage called Jinzou.
Heh, I'm the only Talien in RO so I guess I'd have to be. Don't really remember it though, but then again I usually forget about arguments real soon afterward. |

| Java is the one language I just can't stand -.- I feel that it's is a crappy rip off of c++, I can understand using it for the internet, but using it to make normal programs is silly, might as well use C. And if you want to do something on the internet, might as well do flash. |

the reason why Java is used instead of C is simple... Java is free
i agree tho that Java isnt that great, mind you C++ isnt hugly nice either
i acctually quite like object pascal myself
not as powerfull as C++ tho 
EDIT: oh, and Java is also very portable

| because something is free might make it a better option for unprofessionals, but if you want to work on this stuff professionally, go with the most powerful language. When doing stuff for money, it is better to spend more money to make even more money. |

Returns, just like is says  and re-tests the condition.... in other words, if target's not dead, return and start again...and keep going untill they're dead...

Actually, mine is more efficient;
1. OOP is an overkill for what we need, too much code, to little to do.
2. Java sucks, sorry...I hate it...If you want cross platform go Delphi.
3. It will compile faster.
4. It will run faster.
5. C is the king of languages (except when it comes to string handleing, lol)
There probably more too, but let's not go there .
BTW... Here's the C equivalent to what you did...
while(!isDead(target)) {
moveTo(target.location);
beat(target, pointy_stick);
}

string handling in C++ gives me a headache. It's easy to make strings, but when you want user input...yuck.
Ah, so that's what return does. Thought it did that, but I didn't believe myself. All I used return for was exiting out of void functions...

nuts to strings! An array of chars is the way to go!  |

or...
char *string[MAX_STRINGS};
Those are always fun... 
return can also return a value from a function...as in..
void main() {
int NumA, NumB = 0;
printf("Enter the first number: ");
scanf("%d", NumA);
printf("\nEnter the second number: ");
scanf("%d", NumB);
// And of corse, the third integer in our string is returned by calling GetSum()
printf("\n\nThe sum of %d and %d is %d.", NumA, NumB, GetSum(NumA, NumB));
}
int GetSum(sNumA, sNumB) {
int Sum = 0;
Sum = sNumA + sNumB;
return Sum;
}
See? The return statement can be very useful

i completely agree, i also thinnk that more companies should use object pascal, its a very nice and tidy language, only problem is it cant do quite as much as C++, but its still a very nice program language
EDIT: (couldn't post two in a row, heh)

1. heh, well, i lernt to program in OOP, my Uni's computer lecturers are kind obsessed with OOP 
2. i agree, i dont like Java much either, but thats what i lernt
oh, and i lernt delphi in the previous year, now THERES a nice development evironment, and it uses oject pascal, which you may have seen my say i rather like
and my end of year Java project would have been done in an hour if they'd let me do it in delphi, but nooooo i had to do it in Java -.-
3. indeed, true
4. yup, heh, altho it wont auto destroy unused objects
5. bah, no, pascal is better , even if it is less powerfull

I like C, simple to use once you get used to it and very powerfull.
