    Unhappy Simple Java Homework : Due Wendsday Afternoon PLZ HELP!

    Hey this is my first time posting on here. Brand new to Java and i can't get it to complile correctly. The point of this program is to do banking for the user whom is using the program. We were giving code to fix and correct. These are the things that must be in the program...

    Must List:
    1. break the program up into method
    2. do error detection and correction - try..catch
    3. use a switch statement instead of if() statements
    4. prevent user from withdrawing more money that he has
    5. Must work correctly
    6. Must use a do.. while or a while() loop
    7. Must run in a GUI environment, i.e., can't use System.out.println() statements on final version.
    8. Must make the prompts easier for the user to continue

    Do not impose your time constraints on us. It is your deadline not ours. We will answer you if and when we like.

    Ask a specific question and get a specific answer. If your code doesn't compile then include the exact error messages.

    Sorry not trying to rush anyone just didn't want anyone to solve it after the date i had to have it done by. But anyways i keep getting an "error: illegal start of expression" on lines 18 and 38. Actually it is two of the same error messages on line 18 and 38. Then also i'm getting " error: ; expected" errors on lines 18 and 38. It seems every time i try to create a method in this program it give me an error. Thank you again to anyone who take the time to help me out with this

    Make sure your methods are NOT inside of other methods.
    Check for correctly paired {}s

    can you rate your professor on ratemyprofessor.com so nobody else takes him ever again?

    and to be on topic you could start by actually calling your runIt(); method in the main and closing the brackets for main after calling it. all the static functions need to be outside.

    It's always easy to blame others for nothing. What if OP's Professor has already told him/her everything before and OP is not quite interested in lectures and when it came to assignment, just for the sake of help, put his problem over the forums by simply blaming or saying that it's his very first class or blah blah....

    Well, programming is an art, you don't need teachers. Internet is the best source to start on.

    I totally agree... I have just finished programming in college. I knew more then the teacher, Our last assignment was a multi threaded chat.. Seems the teacher didn't want to teach us networking. Told us to go Google it ourselves.. and that's why i officially hate college lol
