I am having a hard figuring out these errors. i have spent the whole day online New to Java but no dice. So I figured that I should try Advanced Java. Hello How are you today? This program is supposed to alot of things. It is required in class but I can not get it to compile and I know that you do not need the class criteria to get it to compile. So I won't bore you unless you feel that you need it? On lines 36 and 37 is where the problem lies. Look for the error here marks.

Please learn to use code tags if you want others to read your code posts. The end tag should be [/cod&#101;] not [cod&#101;]. You can edit your post above and you'll see it will make a big difference in readability, and this is for your own benefit: if your code is easier to read, more will read it which is what you want, right?

[Fubarable]

Also, the likely solution to your problem, is to place DVD in its own file.

Tlouvierre, you need to do some reading of forum FAQ's/guidelines

Hah I got my tag right. Anyway not for you Singboy. If you look line 33 there is only a comment there. So I do not understand how that could be a problem. Then on line 36 well import.text.Numberformat is on that line. I will change it back to text instead of util and see if that helps. Be right back.

I swear that i am putting the code tage but for some reason they are not showing up. Do I need to resubmit the file or no?

[tlouvierre]

Are you messin with me? Because I tried to edit the field and it is there [/code] plain as day. I know you have been up all night and are getting me back for going to sleep. HA

[tlouvierre]

Also, the likely solution to your problem, is to place DVD in its own file.

I see where there is a class but no public so I am going to try and make it public and hope that it clears up my problems. Thank s again.

[tlouvierre]

Sing boyo I have read everything pertaining to me and I checked the tutorial 5 and its 1300 pages long. In your response you have not been point specific enough for me to look anything up but you have been helpful. If you could give me the name of the instance error code like API, give me some where to look other than a 1300 pages layout it sure would help. I am no stranger to hard work but that is impossible to read in a day. Thanks again!

Well Fubarable I made DVD public and that was fine. Except it did not cure the problem. The problem is one of these:illegal start of expression
The error message will point to perfectly good code. Look just ahead of it for a missing } or ;
static int x = 0; Static variables have to be defined outside all methods inside a class.
you wrote x + = 2; instead of x += 2;
you wrote case: STRAWBERRY instead of case STRAWBERRY :
You nested a method inside another method.

On lines 35 and 36. It says that I have illegal start. Once I tried to move the locale and numberformat to the beginning but I was still getting the class, interface, enum error. So I put back and no change. Working very hard just not understanding. I though that the import had to distinguished for the public class DVD. Now I am not so sure.

[tlouvierre]

I have made some changes and I think you will be pleased. I have the errors down to one. Can you help? Respectfully yours Tiffany.

But this is just a comment line so is another } that is needed. I don't know my eyes are tired as are yours I am sure.

[tlouvierre]

There is something wrong with my for loop and I took Singboyo advice and erased the old for loop that I had. Could you look in that area?

I thought by making DVD public it would establish it as java. So what am I doing wrong. There is a statement public class DVD how do I make it a Java file. I am not saying by any means that this will solve all of my problems but maybe.

[Fubarable]

Two questions:
1) Are DVD and Inventory still in the same file?
2) Is your code always without indentation? If so, you may be able to read it, but most of us are used to reading code that is properly (3-4 spaces) indented. Why not make your posted code easier for us to read? Again, more of us will read it if you do.

I see that you've been told multiple times to place both classes in their own file, but I don't see any indication that you've tried to follow this advice or that you intend to. You may wish to at least acknowledge that you've read it and let us know if or why you don't want to follow it.
