    Unhappy Compiling error

    I am not sure of what is wrong with my code, I hope any of you guys can point on it.

    Here's my code:

    package assignment10;

    import java.awt.Color;
    import java.awt.Dimension;
    import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
    import java.awt.image.ColorModel;
    import java.io.File;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.math.BigInteger;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.Arrays;
    import java.util.HashMap;

    import javax.imageio.ImageIO;


    public class ChainCode {

    BufferedImage image;
    int width;
    int height;

    private int direction = 7;


    public ChainCode(BufferedImage image){
    this.image = image;
    this.width = image.getWidth();
    this.height = image.getHeight();
    }


    public ArrayList<Complex> getChainCodePixels(){
    ArrayList<Complex> list = new ArrayList<Complex>();

    int x,y;
    x = y = 0;

    outer:
    for(y =0;y < height; y++){
    for(x=0 ;x < width; x++){
    Color c = new Color(image.getRGB(x, y));
    if(c.getBlue() > 0){
    list.addAll(f(x,y));
    break outer;
    }
    }
    }
    return list;
    }



    private ArrayList<Complex> f(int x, int y) {
    ArrayList<Complex> code = new ArrayList<Complex>();

    Dimension firstCell = new Dimension(x,y);
    Dimension d1 = firstCell;
    code.add(new Complex(x,y)); //Add cell1

    Dimension secondCell = getNextCell8(x, y);
    Dimension d2 = secondCell;

    do{
    x = (int) d2.getWidth();
    y = (int) d2.getHeight();

    d1 = d2;
    d2 = getNextCell8(x, y);
    code.add(new Complex(x,y));

    }while(!d1.equals(firstCell) && !d2.equals(secondCell) && d2!=null);

    code.remove(0); //Since cell1 got added twice.
    return code;
    }

    /**
    * 321
    * 4_0
    * 567
    */
    private Dimension getNextCell8(int x, int y){
    int startDirection = ((direction & 1) == 0)?((direction+7) % 8)direction+6) % 8);
    int i = 0;
    Dimension d = null;
    while(i<7){
    d = getCellInDirection(x, y, startDirection);
    if(d != null){
    direction = startDirection;
    break;
    }
    startDirection = mod ((startDirection +1), 8);
    i++;
    }
    return d;
    }



    private Dimension getCellInDirection(int x, int y, int dir){
    switch(dir){
    case 0:
    return (inBounds(x+1,y) && isObjectPixel(x+1,y))?new Dimension(x+1, y):null;
    case 1:
    return(inBounds(x+1,y-1) && isObjectPixel(x+1,y-1))?new Dimension(x+1, y-1):null;
    case 2:
    return(inBounds(x,y-1) && isObjectPixel(x,y-1))?new Dimension(x, y-1):null;
    case 3:
    return(inBounds(x-1,y-1) && isObjectPixel(x-1,y-1))?new Dimension(x-1, y-1):null;
    case 4:
    return(inBounds(x-1,y) && isObjectPixel(x-1,y))?new Dimension(x-1, y):null;
    case 5:
    return(inBounds(x-1,y+1) && isObjectPixel(x-1,y+1))?new Dimension(x-1, y+1):null;
    case 6:
    return(inBounds(x,y+1) && isObjectPixel(x,y+1))?new Dimension(x, y+1):null;
    case 7:
    return(inBounds(x+1,y+1) && isObjectPixel(x+1,y+1))?new Dimension(x+1, y+1):null;
    default:
    return null;
    }
    }



    private boolean inBounds(int x, int y){
    return ((x>=0 && x<width) && (y>=0 && y<height));
    }

    private boolean isObjectPixel(int x, int y){
    return (new Color(image.getRGB(x, y)).getBlue()>0);
    }

    private int mod(int a, int b){
    assert(b>0);
    int k = (int) Math.ceil((float)Math.abs(a)/b);
    a += (a<0)?k*b:0;
    return a % b;
    }

    }

    It's giving me this error upon compilation:

    C:\Users\dv3\Desktop\Chain Code Algo\ChainCode.java:33: error: cannot find symbol

    Default Re: Compiling error

    The "cannot find symbol" error is because the compiler can not find a definition for a class or variable.
    The name of the missing class or variable is given in the error message. Look at the error message, get the name of the missing item and then look at the code and find where the definition is.
    You may have to add a definition for the missing item.

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:
    [code=java]
    <YOUR CODE HERE>
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
