is there any kind of font/typeset (sorry for the vagueness) available
in java that allows the expression of equations or algebraic
expressions?

i am meaning something like x^3 + 3x^2 - 5, where here the '3' and the
'2' indices would be raised to the top right of the 'x' symbol so as
to appear as it would be written in a math text book or whatever.

anyone know what i'm on about here

Can you represent them in HTML? If so, most
Swing components will display (simple) HTML.

As an aside, while looking for your superscript,
please look also for your shift key. Applied
once at the start of each sentence, as well as
to the word 'I', it will make your posts more
readable.

Go to the Eclipse bug report page and create an enhancement request.

Unicode has some support for those symbols, particularly superscript
numerals. So any "Unicode" font with appropriate coverage will do.
Actually I expect almost any Latin-1 font will do for your specific
expression.


new JLabel("x\u00B3 + 3x\u00b2 - 5")

Jeremy,
try use the Method pow for expression x^3.
Ex. double a = x, p = 3;
x = double.parseDouble(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("va lue of x"));
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"x ^ 3 ="+Math.pow(a,p));
This is a sample program, how to use the library Math with method pow.

We all have our preferences

And I assumed that the OP meant an IDE, as there are no provisions for
text markup within Java.

And the OP could always ask for an enhancement in whatever IDE he/she
is using.

What if the OP accomplishes Statement? or vi?

Its for use with an application coded in java, so that its output may be
displayed on a screen to a user in a mathematical format.

So what's wrong with my earlier suggestion?
new JLabel("x\u00B3 + 3x\u00B2 - 5");
