    Default Error while creating Gym member database through Java programming

    hi there,

    i have started to work on another program. it is a gym member database. where members registration details are to be added and printed out on the screen.
    A Gym member record consists of membership number, name, postcode and fee.

    there has to be a class definition to represent Gym membership details.
    With a main method that declares and initialises two new Gym membership objects.

    Write a method to request data items from the user to fill both the new Gym member objects.
    and a method to display to the screen the names and membership numbers of both members.

    Example data entry ( “Z123456”, “Paul Jones”, “HN78HG”, 250);

    i have written what i could but when i compile the program it comes up with errors that i am having a problem understanding.
    could any one HELP!!!!!!! me through with this program.
    thanks

    }

    is this urgent?

    please read your program carefully.. coz you will learn alot from your own errors.

    Ive edited some of it.

    for you to see the errors.. try to compare this one into the original one.

    Default Re: error checking with my gym member program. please help!!!

    another tip.. i would suggest you use eclipse or netbeans IDE
    because if you are typing your program code with these IDEs, you can see already the errors before you be able
    to compile it....

    its another easy way of checking errors, im using netbeans, but i think eclipse has the same capabilities like that.
    Ofcourse it has..


    and one more thing, please practice on writing java codes in a conventional way so you or anyone can easily determine
    the errors in your program , uppercase intials for classes, small initals for objects.
    (e.g MyClass , myObject) the opening and closing curly braces , the spacing between variables,objects,
    much like that, so just in case you will encounter some syntax error, you will be able to locate it easily,

    you're far more good in programming than me ,i can see that,and that's why i can't understand your big programs yet (your program's LOGIC) , but maybe you just have some bad writings. so please practice and enhance it, so anyone that can see your program can understand it very well...


    like what hellowolrd922 have said.. IN A BUNCH OF ERRORS THERE IS ONLY ONE RIGHT ANSWER....... thats the way of programming

    Id second that idea of getting your self a proper editor/IDE to precompile your code while you are typing it.
