Thread: Bluej issue

Hi there, i am trying to declare 4 types of fish food types in the constructor but keep getting compiling problems so was wondering how to do it?

:foodType = "fish food pellets" || "spirulina tablets";

The code above is situated in the constructor.

Need help urgent thanks.

Hi there, it said : " bad operand types for binary operator '||'

This is the code and the line which is causing problems is within ##

 
/*
 * This is the class in which the fish will be feed when i am out and not home
 */
 
public class FishFeeder
{
    private int amountFood;
    private int flareAmount;
    public String foodType;
 
    public FishFeeder ()
    {
        amountFood = 100;
        flareAmount = 5;
        ##foodType = "fish food pellets" OR "spirulina tablets";##
    }
 
    public int getFlareAmount ()
    {
        return flareAmount;
    }
 
   public void changeFoodType (String newFishFood )
   {
       foodType = newFishFood;
    }

Thanks for the reply, but that doesnt work either as its saying i need ";" after the: "fish food pellets"(..

what is the problem here?

Thanks alot

Sorry i am unable to get an error message to that extend as i am using bluej sorry but all that is said is: ";" is expected.

Thanks

If i am to put the ";" after :foodType = "fish food pellets". Then the rest of that code will be dismissed and it says that the line of code is not a statement.

Cheers

Im trying to store different types of food in this class called fishfeeder, and when declaring these values as such i am having the specified issued.

What you just recently told me creates a comment which is defying the purpose of the code.

So are you trying to have the food type say "fish food pellets or spirulina tablets", or are you trying to get the food type to say either "fish food pellets" or "spirulina tablets"?
