Could you please post your complete code so that we can be in a better position to see where your problem is.

Since you are getting a "cannot find symbol error", it is possible that you are using a variable that has not been declared, or you have incorrectly implemented a method, or there is a spelling mistake in your syntax.

From what you have posted, you have used length() as a method like grades.length()
but length is an attribute of the array, it is not a method
you have to call it like this: grades.length

Code:

for (int i=0; i<grades.length; i++)
{
}

Hope this helps..
