"Cannot find symbol" error

[MBD]

Hi, Hope someone can offer help on this. I get the "Cannot find symbol" error when trying to compile the code below. I cannot see what the problem is, if anyone can help I would really appreciate it.

import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
public class NumberFormat {
public static void main(String[] args) {

float f1 = 456.789f;
Locale locSP = new Locale("es"); // SPAIN
NumberFormat[] nfa = new NumberFormat[4];

nfa[0] = NumberFormat.getInstance();
nfa[1] = NumberFormat.getInstance(locSP);
nfa[2] = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
nfa[3] = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(locSP);

for(NumberFormat nf : nfa)
System.out.println(nf.format(f1)); }} Thanks MBD.

Hi,
Change the class name as NumberFormat1 and save the file name as NumberFormat1.java.
We have to differentiate user defined class and in built class.

yes exactly try changing the class name. it should work,

Thanks for replies, although changing the class name still gives the same error.

Please remove the file NumberFormat.java from your working directory and compile the code with new file. It gives the solution.
