Can any one tell me why I am getting an error

Too much code, too little accompanying info.

Read the Announcement topic at the topic of the sub-forum and learn how to post your code in code tags, then edit your post to post the code correctly, ask a question or describe what you want help with, and post any errors you're getting.

**Norm** · October 17th, 2013, 03:50 PM

To wrap your code with code tags:
[code=java]
<YOUR CODE HERE>
[/code]
to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

**Ubiquitous** · October 17th, 2013, 07:34 PM

I hope I am mistaken but it appears as if you just copied one of your peers code and commented out to change the appearance of the program. By commenting out the methods in your main class and placing the code into your main method you now have an issue with extra closing brackets.

example:

////
// Correct amount of brackets
////
{ // Open Class
   { // Open Main
   } // Close Main
} // Close Class
 
////
// Possible Incorrect ways
////
 
// Not enough closing brackets
{ // Open Class
   { // Open Main
      { // Open a statement/loop/switch/etc... in main
      } // Close of statement/loop/switch/etc...
  }// Closes Main
// Missing a closing for the class.
 
// Too many closing brackets
{ // Class code start
   { //Main
   } //Main close
//.... Some code here not in a method and is not variable declaration is not a good thing
} // Class close
//.... More code outside of class = bad
{ // Opening what? Class was already closed and no inner class was done.
}

As I've said I hope I am wrong it would be bad to get a fellow classmate in trouble. Simply changing variable/method names and commenting out a few things does not mean it is different.

**Norm** · October 18th, 2013, 09:46 AM

Please edit your post and format the code so that nested statements are indented 3-4 spaces to show the program's logic. All statements should NOT start in the first column.

Code should be in code tags. Text and comments should not be inside the code tags (unless properly coded as comments) as that makes the code it is mixed in with harder to read.

Have i posted it right now I hope?

**Norm** · October 18th, 2013, 10:21 AM

You missed this part:
Please edit your post and format the code so that nested statements are indented 3-4 spaces to show the program's logic. All statements should NOT start in the first column.

error said studentlist2 cannot be resolved.

The compiler can not find a definition for studentlist2 that is in scope (within the same pair of {}s) as where it is being used. If you want to use a variable in multiple methods, make sure to define the variable outside of any methods so that all methods can see it.

**Scooby** · October 18th, 2013, 10:59 AM

I dont under stand this, as my studentlist2 is being called from my studentlist2 arraylist.

**Norm** · October 18th, 2013, 11:03 AM

What pair of {}s is studentlist2 defined in? Is the statement with the error within the same pair of {}s.
In other words, is studentlist2 in scope where the error is?

Because of the poor formatting of the code it is hard to see where the pairs of {} are.

**Scooby** · October 18th, 2013, 11:09 AM

Yes it is the first { after the for loop for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++){ and closed after the system.out statement.

**Norm** · October 18th, 2013, 11:35 AM

If you format the code properly, it will be much easier to see where the paris of {}s are.

class A_Class {
         int classVar;   //  define at class level; in Scope in all methods
 
	 void meth1() {
	    int aVar;    // define aVar; in Scope only within meth1
		 ...
             //  classVar in Scope here
	 } // end meth1()
 
	 void meth2() {
	    //  aVar in NOT in SCOPE here
             //  classVar in Scope here
	 } //  end meth2()
} // end class

Thanks had to run through the code had to many {} brackets
Must do a do while statment with 3 case's might need you to look over it after I write it

**Norm** · October 18th, 2013, 12:27 PM

The posted code still needs formatting. Do all the statements start in the first column in your editor?

**Scooby** · October 18th, 2013, 01:09 PM

Phase 3. Develop a menu driven application that allows the user to add remove and list student objects from the arraylist developed

Stuck now again on this part getting very confused.

		{
            System.out.println("Add  Student");

			System.out.println("Enter Firstname");
			fname = kb.nextLine();
 
 
			System.out.println("Enter Surname");
			sname = kb.nextLine();
 
 
			System.out.println("Enter Grade");
			grade = kb.nextInt();
			kb.nextLine();
 
 
			nextStudent =  new StudentApp3 (fname,sname,grade);
			studentlist3.add(nextStudent);

Please explain where your problems are? If you are getting error messages, copy the full text and paste it here.

Be sure to break the task up into small steps and work on one at a time.

allows the user to

That sounds like the code needs to ask the user a question and get a response.

The formatting is still weird. Statements at the same logic level should start in the same column. Statements at an inner logic level should be indented.

Please copy the full text of the error message and paste it here. It has important info about the error.

One problem I see is spelling errors. Java is case sensitive. Check the spelling of the keywords.
Also there can not be spaces in the middle of a variable name.

Do cannot be resolved to a type

Did you see my last post about spelling?

case1 cannot be resolved to a variable

Where is the variable case1 defined?

If you are trying to write a switch statement you need to go to a reference book to get the correct syntax for how to code a switch statement with its case statements.

public void DeleteStudents();

The ; is used to END a statement. The ; after the ) ends the definition for the method.

Here is an example of a compiler's error message.
The message should show the source with a ^ under the location of the error.
Here is a sample from the javac compiler:

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

Ok,am I far of track with what I am doing in the code,I find it hard but trying to do my best,what book would you think I should look at Norm.

The Java Tutorials is almost always a good place to start.

Get a couple of cheap used books to start with. Basic java is still the same as it was 5 years ago.
