where is the class

[pro85]

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.Applet;

public class Rice extends Applet {

public void paint(Graphics g) {
int countOfSquares = 0;
int riceOnThisSquare = 1;
int totalRice = 0;
int y = 20;
do {
countOfSquares++;
g.drawString("On square "+countOfSquares+" are " +

riceOnThisSquare, 10, y);
totalRice = totalRice + riceOnThisSquare;
riceOnThisSquare = riceOnThisSquare * 2;
y = y +20;
} while (totalRice < 100);
g.drawString("Number of squares needed is " + countOfSquares,

10, y + 20);
}

}
it can find the class

[ProjectKaiser]

which exact error you get and when you get it ( compilation time/runtime ) ?

[mtyoung]

i cant find any error in the code...

what class do you want?

[angryboy]

i'm guess you don't know what a class is?
in bold:
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.Applet;

public class Rice extends Applet {

public void paint(Graphics g) {

[pro85]

thank for all answer.

angryboy， u r right <br>

public class Rice extends Applet {
the class doesnt declare yet how to correct the code

[OrangeDog]

I am sorry. Your question is not understandable. What are you trying to do?

[Eranga]

thank for all answer.

angryboy， u r right <br>

public class Rice extends Applet {
the class doesnt declare yet how to correct the code

What you mean by class not declared. You have declared the class in your code. Seems you don't have any idea about what you are doing in that code.

Better to read more about Java classes.

Classes and Object : Suns' Tutorial.

i'm guessing you don't know how to declare a class?

Rice bowl = new Rice();
bowl.someMethod(someParam);

you should read some intro on java. try googleling it.

[Eranga]

i'm guessing you don't know how to declare a class?

Rice bowl = new Rice();
bowl.someMethod(someParam);

Is this declaring class? Defining an object of class and access instance.

[angryboy]

oops! got my terminology mixed up.

[Eranga]

Never mind lol. Those simple things can misses anyone. But, it's much better to check twice before click the Submit button. Newbies can confuse.

}

C:>javac rice.java
the error is shown
rice.java:4: class Rice is public, should be declared in a file named Rice.java

public class Rice extends Applet {
^
my question is "how to correct the code"

[ProjectKaiser]

Java is case-sensitive, rename your file "rice.java" => "Rice.java".

[Eranga]

In Java class name and the file name should be same. Since your Java class name is Rice the file name must be Rice.java. Not rice.java

[pro85]

C:>javac Rice.java
the error is shown
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main

[Eranga]

This an applet, you cannot run it with the command java. Once you use that command VM check the main method in your Java class, not found here and throw an exception.

Write a HTML code to execute this class file.

pro85: why don't you try compiling some simple app first like a hello world program. just so you get the feel of a console.
