Thread: All help would be much appreciated!!

Hi,

In the box below is what I have to do. I'm having errors in my code and can't figure out what is wrong. If anyone can help that'd be great.

I'm having errors in my code and can't figure out what is wrong.

Please explain. If you are getting error messages, please copy the full text and paste here.

4 errors found:
[line: 57]
Error: char cannot be dereferenced
File: [line: 71]
Error: char cannot be dereferenced
File: [line: 84]
Error: char cannot be dereferenced
[line: 98]
Error: MyString.java:98: incompatible types
found : java.lang.String
required: MyString

Can you copy the full text of the compiler's error messages? I would expect them to look like this:

TestSorts.java:138: cannot find symbol
symbol  : variable var
location: class TestSorts
         var = 2;
         ^

Notice that the error message includes the source line and a ^ beneath where the error is.

For this error:

char cannot be dereferenced

You can't call a method using a char variable. For example: 'a'.aMethod() is not valid
"a".length() is valid because "a" is a String object

What statement is line 98?

I still don't understand. I need to call string[i] because it's the array that I need to use.

and line 98 is

You posted 8 lines. Which one is line 98?

The method is defined to return a MyString object. Is that what you want it to do?
Where is there a MyString object that can be returned?

To create a MyString object you need to use the new statement:
MyString myStr = new MyString(<SOME ARGS HERE?>);
then at the end of the method:
return myStr;

Please define what the method is supposed to do. What arguments does it receive, what processing does it do and what does it return?
If there is more than one method, do the above steps for each method.

If you have definitions of what the methods should do, then you need to design the code for each one before you code it.
Pick one, design it, code it, compile it test it. When it works, move on to the next one.
