Code won't compile
Hello all! i'm trying to complete the following Java programming assignment, which is late because it won't compile. The prof has not been helpful and the TA is nowhere to be found. I'm using two classes. For the life of me, I cannot figure out what is wrong. Please help! Here's the assignment:
Write a program with an array that is initialized with test data. Use any primitive data type of your choice. The program should also have the following methods:
• getTotal. This method should accept a one- dimensional array as its argument and return the total of the values in the array.
• getAverage. This method should accept a one- dimensional array as its argument and return the average of the values in the array.
• getHighest. This method should accept a one- dimensional array as its argument and return the highest value in the array.
• getLowest.
This method should accept a one- dimensional array as its argument and return the lowest value in the array. Demonstrate each of the methods in the program.

//Get total of test scores
getValues(scores);
//Create TestData object and initialize it with test data.
