Thread: Help with Assignment Please

I have this assignment and I am lost on it. I think I have it written but it continuosly gives an error cannot find symbol on (Checkup check). I am lost and in desperate need of help.

Here is my assignment:
Create a class named TestCheckup whose main() method declares four Checkup objects. Call a getData() method four times. Within the method, prompt a user for values for each field for a Checkup, and return a Checkup object to the main() method where it is assigned to one of main()’s Checkup objects. Then, in main(), pass each Checkup object in turn to a showValues() method that displays the data. Blood pressure values are usually displayed with a slash between the systolic and diastolic numbers. (Typical blood pressure values are 110/78 or 130/90.) With the cholesterol figures, display the explanation of the cholesterol ratio calculation. (Typical cholesterol values are 100 and 40 or 180 and 70.) The comment header provided in Unit 1 should be added and completed. Save the Assignment as TestCheckup.java and take a screenshot of each of the following: the newly written code, the code after it is compiled, and the output of the code.

Here is the code:

import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class TestCheckup
{ //begin class
 
 
 
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
       //Create four checkup objects
       Checkup check1 = new Checkup();
       Checkup check2 = new Checkup();
       Checkup check3 = new Checkup();
       Checkup check4 = new Checkup();
 
       //Pass Checkup objects to getData method 
       getData(check1);
       getData(check2);
       getData(check3);
       getData(check4);
 
       //Pass Checkup objects to showValues() method
       showValues(check1);
       showValues(check2);
       showValues(check3);
       showValues(check4);
   }
 
	public static Checkup getData(Checkup check)
	{
    //Create scanner object
    Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
 
    //Prompt user for field data values and return values
    System.out.println("Please enter stylostic pressure: " );
     check.stylostic = keyboard.nextInt();
 
   System.out.println("Please enter diastolic pressure: ");
    check.diastolic = keyboard.nextInt();
 
    System.out.println("Please enter hdl: ");
    check.hdl = keyboard.nextInt();
 
    System.out.println("Plese enter ldl: ");
    check.ldl = keyboard.nextInt();
 
    return check;
	}
	public static void showValues(Checkup checker)
	{
 
 
    System.out.println("Your blood pressure is " + checker.diastolic + "/" + checker.stylostic);
 
    System.out.println("Your cholesterol is " + checker.hdl + " and " + checker.ldl);
 
    System.out.println("Typical cholestoral is 100 and 40 or 180 and 70");
 
 
 
 	}
}

TestCheckup.java:29: error: cannot find symbol
public static void getData(Checkup check)
^
symbol: class Checkup
location: class TestCheckup

I am very new to this. How would I go about adding the check up class?

Ultimately what am I going to have to do to get this program to compile?

--- Update ---

I declared a class Checkup and added to the TestCheckup class and it gave the following errror on compiling:

TestCheckup.java:63: error: class Checkup is public, should be declared in a file named Checkup.java
public class Checkup
^
1 error

----jGRASP wedge2: exit code for process is 1.

How do I need to declare it?

--- Update ---

well here it is:

public class Checkup 
{ //begin class
 
    //Declare data fields
    int stylostic;
    int diastolic;
    int ldl;
    int hdl;
 
 
    //Create method to compute ratio
    public void computeRatio(int ld, int hd)
    {
        double ratio = ld/hd;
        System.out.println("Your ratio is: " + ratio);
 
        //Call ratio method
        explainRatio();
    }
 
    //Create method to explain circumstances
    public void explainRatio()
    {
        System.out.println("HDL is good cholesterol.");
        System.out.println("A ratio of 3.5 or lower is considered optimal.");
    }
 
}//end class

I just put it in at the end of the TestCheckup class after the TestCheckup }
Is that right?

Ok....How do I declare it in the TestCHeckup.java class? What does the code look like?
