Need Help

[maggie_2]

Hello,
I need help with a project I am working on for school, what I need to do is create an application that helps a user select an ice cream cone flavor and how many scoops on the come. I managed to get the IceCreamconeException file to compile, however, I get error messages when I try to compile the IceCreamCone file. In the error refrences an identifier that is expected, I tried to investigate how to correct this but had no luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated, here are the error messages:

I don't see the implementation of the setFlavor() method that's being called from the IceCreamCone constructor.

Also, use curly brackets "{}" after your "if" statements, even when they're one liners. This also goes for "for" statements.

You're first problem though is that you are performing actions in the class definition. Place those "showWhateverDialog" lines inside a method, not directly in the class definition like that.
