    Default Re: Cannot find symbol for constructor

    Please copy the full text of the error message and paste it here. It should include the source line where the error happens.

    I do not see any symbol named: monster in the posted code. Java is case sensitive so monster is different from Monster.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
