Can you guys look at my java project and give me some tips?

Question

So I feel like I'm a good coder, but that's from my point of view. Can you take a look at my code and give me some tips or criticize me on my code. Or give me some tips or things to add or make things smaller.

console class

        public class console {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

//makes the window/console
window console=new window();

}

}

window class

        import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

//the main terminal
public class window extends JFrame{
//variables
static JTextArea window;
JTextField input;

//main window for commands and shit
public window(){
//super because it is
super("my Java Console");

//able to call c.parse
final findCommand c=new findCommand();

//the input is set and shit
input = new JTextField();
  input.addActionListener(
     new ActionListener(){
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event){
            input.setText("");
           c.parse(event.getActionCommand());
        }
     }
  );
  add(input, BorderLayout.NORTH);


  //this window is set and shit
  window = new JTextArea();
  window.setEditable(false);
  add(new JScrollPane(window));
  setSize(300,150);
  setVisible(true);
}

}

displayInWindow class

        public class displayInWindow {

   //display stuff in the window in the window class
public static void display(String s){
   //the JTextArea is the window and one long continues sentence but with \n
    window.window.append(s+"\n");

Consistent spacing and indenting will help you and the reviewers.

Some tips:

In Java there is a convention - names of classes start with uppercase letter
Instance variables like JTextArea etc. should be private and not static. Static fields should be used very rarely.
Every Swing component should be created and changed on EDT. Starting point for Swing applications usually looks like this:

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                MyFrame frame = new MyFrame();
                frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
                frame.setVisible(true);
            }
        });
    }

Use proper variable names: if I see variable 'window' I think that it's of type JFrame, JDialog, JWindow etc. for JTextField it can be something like 'commandTF', 'commandField', etc.
Use IDE and use formatter (Eclipse, Netbeans, etc.)
displayInWindow is unnecessary - too little functionality. You'll end up with so called "spaghetti-code"
Usually if you have many switch statements with many close in concept cases - replace it with polymorphism (enums are also useful)

@Xeon mentioned some good point, and here are some other:

Comment like this does not help too much:
```
//splits into an array
String[] cmd=s.split(" ");
```
If somebody knows Java they understand the code, so the comment is only duplication and noise. Further reading: Clean Code by Robert C. Martin, Chapter 4: Comments
In your code String.split does not handle well if users put two or more spaces between the arguments. I'd use Guava's Splitter here. It could trimResults and omitEmptyStrings.
I'm not completely sure if it could help or not, but I'd check Apache Commons CLI and try to parse the arguments with this library. The hasArgs(int num) method looks promising. Further reading: Effective Java, 2nd Edition, Item 47: Know and use the libraries
Instead of the Hashtable use HashMap (with type parameters):
```
Map<String, String> variables = new HashMap<String, String>();
```
See: Differences between HashMap and Hashtable?
The methods in the BasicCommands class have lots of smells:
1. It's hard to follow because it uses exceptions for ordinary control flow. (Effective Java, 2nd Edition, Item 57: Use exceptions only for exceptional conditions)
2. It contains lots of duplication. For example, num1 + " + " + num2 + " = " should be extracted out to a resultPrefix local variable.
3. It uses floating point variables where you may need exact results. (Effective Java, 2nd Edition, Item 48: Avoid float and double if exact answers are required; Why not use Double or Float to represent currency?)
Using BigDecimals would reduce the necessary code dramatically since it could store non-integer values, so it handles doubles and integers too, therefore you can omit a few conditions.
```
public static String add(final String num1, final String num2) {
    final BigDecimal resolvedNum1 = resolveNumber(num1);
    final BigDecimal resolvedNum2 = resolveNumber(num2);
