symbol not found error

[rmartyce]

I have a program (see below). Can someone tell me why I'm getting the error...

C:\CourseUnits.java:95: cannot find symbol
symbol : variable CourseUnitArray
location: class CourseUnits
CourseUnitArray[0] = new CourseUnits("name","num");
^
C:\CourseUnits.java:95: cannot find symbol
symbol : constructor CourseUnits(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)
location: class CourseUnits
CourseUnitArray[0] = new CourseUnits("name","num");
^
2 errors

Tool completed with exit code 1

The CourseUnits constructor is there. The classpath is .;PATH;C:\;
I've been stumped for 2 days, so any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Defining the constructor is wrong. There is no return type in constructor. Even no void there.

You have use the same name for ArrayList as well as object array. You should rename one of them.

        //be used.
    private static ArrayList<CourseUnits> courseUnitArray = new ArrayList<CourseUnits>();

    //default constructor - no parameters
    public CourseUnits() {
    }

    public CourseUnits(String cName, String cNum){
        courseUnitName = cName;
