Where is the class Room defined? Please post the code.

[rybo85]

The Room class is a separate class that is called by the Hotel Class. The project is to create a Hotel that has an array of Rooms created by the Room class. THe addRoom method assigns the parameters for each Room. The code I have looks like this:
/** Creates room class */

public class Room
{


private int roomNum;
private String bedType;
private double rate;
private String occupantName;
private char smoking;
private boolean occupied;


public Room()
{

roomNum = 0;
bedType = " ";
rate = 0;
occupantName = "";
smoking = 0;
occupied = false;

}

public Room(int roomNum, String bedType, char smoking, double rate)
{

this.roomNum = roomNum;
this.bedType = bedType;
this.smoking = smoking;
this.rate = rate;

}

public String getBedType()
{

return bedType;


}


public char getSmoking()
{

return smoking;

}

public int getRoomNum()
{

return roomNum;

}

public double getRoomRate()
{

return rate;

}

public String setOccupant()
{

return occupantName;

}

public boolean setOccupied()
{
int len = occupantName.length();
if (len > 1){
occupied = true;
}
else if(len <1){
occupied = false;
}
return occupied;

}



public boolean isOcuppied()
{

boolean getRoomState = occupied;
return getRoomState; }
public String toString(){
return "Room Number: " + roomNum +"Name of Guest: " + occupantName +"Bed Type: " + bedType + "Smoking Room: " + smoking + "Rate: " + rate;


}

}

The code should be:

Room[] theRooms = new Room [5];

theRooms[0] = new Room (101, "Queen", 'n', 100);
...
...
...

Tried the suggestion but, it didn't solve the problem. Still getting error message:
Hotel.java:24: error: cannot find symbol
Room[] theRooms = new Room[5];
^
symbol: class Room
location: class Hotel

Any other suggestions?

[wsaryada]

Do you have the Hotel.java and the Room.java in the same path? You are compiling using a javac command line or using an IDE?

[rybo85]

Using an IDE called jGRASP. Any suggestions? It seems that Hotel doesn't know that Room exists.

[rybo85]

Thanks for all the help. I relooked at how I used your suggestion and I got it to work.

[wsaryada]

So, what was that causing the problem? And how did you solve it?
