Thread: Someone help me with my code it has some errors? Thanks!

On which line is the error occuring? Is it the above line? Those quotations look like special word processor characters and I think the compiler does not know what they are.

Errors in order:
Syntax error on tokens, delete these tokens
Syntax error on tokens, Expression expected instead

This is my worker class:

I think it is rejecting the quote marks that you have in Bulb.java.

package HW07;
//Bulb.java   
public class Bulb
{
//Instance Data
private boolean bulbLit;
//Constructor
public Bulb (boolean bulbLitIn)
{
bulbLit = bulbLitIn;
}
//bulb setter off
public  void turnOff()
{
bulbLit = false;
}
//bulb setter on
public void turnOn ()
{
bulbLit = true;
}
public String toString()
{
String result = “  ”; //<---From Zaphod_b Bad quote marks.
result += “This bulb is currently “;//<---From Zaphod_b Bad quote marks.
if(bulbLit)
result += “on”;//<---From Zaphod_b Bad quote marks.
else
result += “off”//<---From Zaphod_b Bad quote marks. (Also missing semicolon)
return result;
}
}

What happens if you try

package HW07;
//Bulb.java   
public class Bulb
{
    //Instance Data
    private boolean bulbLit;
 
    //Constructor
    public Bulb (boolean bulbLitIn)
    {
        bulbLit = bulbLitIn;
    }
 
    //bulb setter off
    public  void turnOff()
    {
        bulbLit = false;
    }
 
    //bulb setter on
    public void turnOn()
    {
        bulbLit = true;
    }
 
    public String toString()
    {
        String result = "  ";
        result += "This bulb is currently ";
        if(bulbLit)
            result += "on";
        else
            result += "off";
        return result;
    } // End toString
} // End class definition

Cheers!

I wish I had thought of that!

People just love to whine.

That reminds me of what I sometimes do. I reply to a post without realising there is a second page and people have already responded.
