ArrayList Errors

[johnb082]

Hello, I am working on a project that is two programs. One is named Item and it compiles just fine. The other is called CoffeeDriver. The class named CoffeeDriver. CoffeeDriver errors on the ArrayList line and all following in that line. My code is below and the errors are too.

CoffeeDriver.java:51: class, interface, or enum expected
ArrayList<Item> item = new ArrayList<Item>();
^
CoffeeDriver.java:52: class, interface, or enum expected
item.coffee new item("Coffee",1.0);


import java.util.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Comparator;

public class CoffeeDriver {

//Main method
public static void main (String[] args){
String[] itemName = {"Coffee, Water, Milk, Donut, Bagel"};
double[] itemPrice = {1.00, 2.00, 1.50, 0.75, 1.25};
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
String decision;

System.out.println ("Welcome to Wings Coffee Shop");
System.out.println ("We have a great list of tasty items on our menu.");
System.out.println ("Would you like to see these items sorted by");
System.out.println ("name or by price? (n/p): ");
decision = input.nextLine();
if (decision == "n"){
sortName(itemName);
}
else
sortPrice(itemPrice);

}//End Main

//method to sort by item name and display
public static void sortName (String[] array){
for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++){
System.out.println (array[i].toString());
}
}//End Sort by itemName

//method to sort by item price and display
public static void sortPrice (double[] array){
for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++){
System.out.println (array[i]);
}
}//End Sort by itemPrice
}//End Class

ArrayList<Item> item = new ArrayList<Item>();
item.coffee new item("Coffee",1.0);
item.water new item("Water",2.0);
item.milk new item("Milk",1.5);
item.donut new item("Donut",.75);
item.bagel new item("Bagel",1.2);

java.util.Collections.sort;item,new Comparator<Item>()

public int compare(Item a,Item b)

if(a.getName().compareTo(b.getName())>0){
return 1;
else
if(a.getName().compareTo(b.getName())<0)
return -1;
else
return 0;
}
public boolean equals(Object a)

return false;

});


Thank you for your help.

It think that The code with the error is not inside of a method.

Please wrap your code in code tags. Your posted code is hard to read without formatting.

Please explain code tags. New to java.

Did you look at the link at the end of my post?

Better?

[Norm]

Is your code really all left adjusted like it shows in your post?
The first thing you need to do is edit your code and indent it to show nesting levels within {}. That will make it a lot easier to see your problem.

Also you don't need to put the error message text in the code tags

Not it isn't. I will re-upload appropriately.

No.
You need to format your code.
Indent it correctly, and you'll probably see straight away where the problem is.

ETA: Oops. I must have left that window open a little too loong!

}//End Class

 ArrayList<Item> item = new ArrayList<Item>();

You can't have code outside of a class.

ETA: And you do really need to indent your code properly.

Thank you.
