Need Help Please

Hi, i'm currently trying to make a simplish program for calculating soccer results. I'm having trouble with one of my subclasses. The tester class cannot find the methods. Any advice would be appreciated

Thanks

Code:

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Score t1 = new Score("Arsenal", 90);
        Score t2 = new Score("Aston Villa", 78);

        t1.calculateScore(t1, t2);
        System.out.println(t1.getTeamName()  + " " +
                           t1.getHomeScore() + "-" +
                           t1.getAwayScore() + " " +
                           t2.getTeamName());
    }

Thanks hardwired

I'm having another problem now though. Basically i want to have a class that runs when the user program is opened and loads an arraylist with values. Can you do that or will i have to just do it in the main program?

Code:

public class TeamLoader
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        String[] names = {
            "Arsenal", "Aston Villa", "Birmingham", "Blackburn",
            "Bolton", "Chelsea", "Derby", "Everton", "Fulham",
            "Liverpool", "Man City", "Man Utd", "Middlesbrough",
            "Newcastle", "Portsmouth", "Reading", "Sunderland",
            "Tottenham", "West Ham", "Wigan"
        };
        int[] ratings = {
            90, 78, 65, 81, 60, 91, 50, 74, 76, 90,
            89, 91, 82, 77, 83, 59, 57, 81, 74, 54
        };
        TeamInfo[] teams = new TeamInfo[names.length];
        for(int j = 0; j < teams.length; j++) {
            teams[j] = new TeamInfo(names[j], ratings[j]);
        }
        Team team = new Team("a team", 100);
        team.addTeams(teams);
        System.out.println(team);
        System.out.println("bestRated = " + team.getBestRatedTeam());
    }
}

class Team extends TeamInfo
{
    ...
    public void addTeams(TeamInfo[] newTeams)
    {
        for(int j = 0; j < newTeams.length; j++)
            teams.add(newTeams[j]);
    }

Thanks again hardwired

Just one more thing i need to get working and that'll be the program done.

I can't get one of my cases to work. Will let ya's know how i get on

[Renegade85]

Got it going. Just a few minor errors i need to get sorted now

[hardwired]

I can't get case 1 to work. All the other classes are the same as in my above post except i added the addTeams() method to Team
The Score class you posted above has some problems.

Code:

// Methods like this
protected int setAwayScore()
{
    return score2;
}
// should be implemented like this
protected void setAwayScore(int score)
{
    score2 = score;
}

As for your last–posted UserProgram class, compiling gives this in the console:

Code:

C:\jexp>javac scoretesterrx.java
scoretesterrx.java:55: getRating() in TeamInfo cannot be applied to (java.lang.S
tring)
                    tempRating=team1.getRating(teamName);
                                    ^
scoretesterrx.java:61: getRating() in TeamInfo cannot be applied to (java.lang.S
tring)
                    tempRating=team2.getRating(teamName);
                                    ^
2 errors

Score extends TeamInfo and inherits the getRating method from this superclass.
The TeamInfo getRating method (from post #3) is:

Code:

    public int getRating()
    {
        return rating;
    }

So you are calling a method that does not exist.

[Renegade85]
