Thread: JButton.... actionListener.... help!!!!....

It appears that your class itself doesn't have a method called actionPerformed(ActionEvent e).

To get it to add the ActionListener defined by the class,

calculate.addActionListener(this);

and in the class defined ActionListener(the method actionPerformed),

have

if (e.getActionCommand().equals("Calculate"))
then put what you had.

However, your code isn't compiling still even after that adjustment. Am fixing it now.

It can't seem to find a variable called c and neither can the compiler figure out where it came from.

I got the following code to compile and run successfully, but you still need to uncomment the variable c and definite it so it''ll do what you want. Right now c is commented out so that the program will compile and run successfully.
