I am having problems with this program I can not get it to compile or run

A few points:

Use the code button (it looks like #) when posting code. Alternatively put [code] at the start of your code and [/code] at the end. This will make the code readable.

Say why the code won't compile. That is copy paste and post the exact and entire messages that the compiler is giving you. These messages are very useful and provide your first step towards solving your problem.

That's a lot of code. Consider starting again and working one step at a time making sure at each step that everything compiles and runs as you expect.

[Eranga]

And also, if you are not keen in Java, please start learn from the beginning. Seems to me you copied this code segment from somewhere and paste here. It's ok if you have complete idea about the code. If so looking at the error message you can find the issue. :)

Anyway, send your complete error message here to see. It's very useful to us, in commenting pbrockway2 explain in the above post.

[Karnij]

ok sorry, thank you for the posting tips

Ok this will not compile or run because it does not have a main class set.

now if this is java 101 error then I lost

[Eranga]

What you mean Java 101? If you comes with an error please post it here to see. It's easy to us.

[Karnij]

I was just referring to Java 101 a the basic learning of Java, but i got the problem fixed, thanks for trying to help

[Eranga]

Okay fine. Once you comes with an error in your application, please read it more carefully. Actually all the thing you want to do is there, to fix your issue. And at the same time, try to refer the Java doc as well. Good luck! ;)

If you have solve the problem please mark it as solved from the thread tools menu.
