Right now, I'm learning java before I start the semester so I can get the hang of it without struggling. At the moment, I'm having trouble compiling the current file I'm working on called RoomArea.java .
I get the error of not finding a symbol. For example:
cannot find symbol
symbol : method setLength
location: variable kitchen of type Rectangle
Here is a snippet of my Rectangle.java file:
package rectangle;
public class Rectangle
{
private double length;
private double width;
public void setLength(double l)
{
length = l;
}
public void setWidth(double w)
{
width = w;
}
}
Here's where I get the errors of calling the functions from Rectangle.java into my RoomAreas.java file:
package roomarea;
import java.awt.Rectangle;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class RoomArea
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
double number;
double totalArea;
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
/* Creating three Rectangle object */
Rectangle bedroom = new Rectangle();
Rectangle kitchen = new Rectangle();
Rectangle den = new Rectangle();
/* Get and store the dimensions of the kitchen */
System.out.print("What is the kitchen's length?");
number = keyboard.nextDouble();
kitchen.setLength(number);
System.out.print("What is the kitchen's width? ");
number = keyboard.nextDouble();
kitchen.setWidth(number);
// ...
// ...
}
You're importing the wrong Rectangle
class in RoomArea
:
import java.awt.Rectangle;
should be
import rectangle.Rectangle;
(assuming you're actually trying to use your own Rectangle
class).
You are not using your own Rectangle class. Your are importing java.awt.Rectangle
. Java will now interprete your three Rectangles as java.awt.Rectangle
Objects.
Change
import Java.awt.Rectangle;
to
import rectangle.Rectangle;
and it should work.
found these issues with your code. 1. import proper rectangle 2. whatever you have pasted roomarea.java , needs one more "}" at the end.
Now compile class Rectangle.java from package rectangle and compile roomarea.java from roomarea like javac -cp ../ roomarea.java. this would create class files in respective folders.
