Thread: Method issues

I have this method inside a class that extends an abstract class. This is a two part problem.

PART 1: my toString method is loaded with errors below. I have imported java.util.* already. I've obviously missed one thing that is causing the whole method to give me an error. This same class is copied from an abstract class I created. Should my abstract contain less info and could that be causing the error?

LongDistanceCall.java:45: class, interface, or enum expected
public String toString() {
^
LongDistanceCall.java:49: class, interface, or enum expected
String startTimeOutput = startTime.toString(startTime); //send PreciseTime objects to 'toString()'
^
LongDistanceCall.java:50: class, interface, or enum expected
String endTimeOutput = endTime.toString(endTime);
^
LongDistanceCall.java:52: class, interface, or enum expected
costOutput += this.computeCost();
^

PART 2: My class extend and abstract class. I cant determine what I'm supposed to put in my abstract class to help define my class constructor. Here's my class constructor. Should it just be blank, since I have to classes that implement the abstract?

public class MyConstuctor extends AnAbstractClass {

protected object o;
protected object o2;

public myConstructor(Object o, Object o2 ) {

this.o = o;
this.o2 = o2;

} //end constructor
}

Thanks in advance for your help.

You are most likely having a bracket problem: Something like

public class Test
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        if(someVariable == someOtherVariable)
        {
            if(yetAnotherVariable==someOtherOtherVariable)
            {
                //Do stuff
            }
          }
        } //Too many brackets!
      }
    public String toString() //Will throw an error
    {
        return "String";
    }
}

Scan your code and check the brackets on everything. label it.

Problem solved. I had an extra brace in there.
