The code i have written is for a customer to be able to choose the kind of wood that they would like for the table they have chosen. I've recieved 5 compile errors as follows,


C:\JAVA\Furniture.java:50: cannot find symbol
symbol : method setType(int)
location: class Furniture
woodFurniture.setType(furnitureType);
^
C:\JAVA\Furniture.java:51: cannot find symbol
symbol : method setRate(double)
location: class Furniture
woodFurniture.setRate(chosenRate);
^
C:\JAVA\Furniture.java:54: cannot find symbol
symbol : variable woodType
location: class Furniture
System.out.println("You entered " + woodType +
^
C:\JAVA\Furniture.java:58: cannot find symbol
symbol : method getType()
location: class Furniture
System.out.println("Wood: " + woodFurniture.getType() +
^
C:\JAVA\Furniture.java:59: cannot find symbol
symbol : method getRate()
location: class Furniture
" Cost: " + woodFurniture.getRate());
^
5 errors

I cannot seem to figure out how to correct these errors, as i am still fairly new to java, and was wondering if anyone had advice on how to correct them. Thank you.

Where are all of Furniture's methods?

[macosxnerd101]

Your compiler is telling you that the methods you are trying to invoke setRate(), setType(), etc. and the variable woodType haven't been defined before you reference them, so they don't exist. You need to define them in your class before you can use them.

i don't know what you mean by that?
I'm fairly new to java...

[Dogstopper]

Well, you have this:

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Furniture
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		...
	}
}

You have a Furniture class which contains the main method, but none otheres, so that when you call the Furniture's setAnything() method, it doesn't exist. you need to add those methods to this class.

Well, dern it! My edit disappeared. I was going to help clarify.

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Furniture
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		...
	}
  
	public void setRate(int rate)
	{
		... Do stuff in here
	}
}

Since you define a setRate method in Furniture, you have to have it defined and implemented! Now try it with the other methods that you need. If this is confusing, read up on methods.

Okay so i did what was asked(i think) but now im getting other errors.

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Furniture

		double chosenRate = 0;

	}
	public void setRate(double rate)
	{

	}
		
			
	
		Scanner input =  new Scanner(System.in);
		System.out.print("What type of wood table are you looking for?");
		System.out.print("Enter " + PINE_CODE + " for Pine table " + OAK_CODE + " for Oak table, or " + MAHOGANY_CODE + " for Mahogany table..."); 
		
		furnitureType = input.nextInt(); 
		if (furnitureType == PINE_CODE)

			chosenWood = PINE_WOOD;

		}
		else
			if (furnitureType == OAK_CODE)
			{
				chosenWood = OAK_WOOD;
				chosenRate = OAK_RATE;
			}
			else
				if (furnitureType == MAHOGANY_CODE)

				else

					if (choiceIsGood)

Theres 36 errors so...?

[Fuzzyness]

Check your brackets, this usually occurs when you have one less or one too many. Usually less though. Match up each bracket to a bracket and you will find you are either short a bracket or over.

OKAY FINALLY, alright so i have no more compile errors which is fabulous, but ive run into another problem
when i run the application in msdos all i get is: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main

What does that mean and where have i gone wrong now?

You need a main method (either in your Furniture class, or in a separate class which uses the Furniture class)

public static void main(String[] args)
{
   Furniture f = new Furniture();
   //do stuff with f
}

[vrichh]

when i put public static void main(String[] args) where it would usually go, i get compile errors.
am i putting in the right spot? Or am i missing something?

It is illegal to define methods inside the main method. You must define them outside of it.

public class Furniture
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		//all the good stuff in main
	 }
	 public void some method(){}
	 public void someOtherMethod(){}
	 //etc
}

even better, take Fuzzyness' advice and create a tester class

[Fuzzyness]

You got it backwards buddy. All of that belongs in the class, you cant just make your entire body a main method. Think of it like this.
We have a computer Program. But it is useless without a computer correct? So pretty much the main method will act as a computer which makes everything go. You can have a main in that class, just has to be on its own method, and cannot have a method inside of a method ye know? Generally we like to create a tester class for things so lets do that.
Option 1:

public class FurnitureTester
{
	 public static void main(String args[])
	 { 
		  Furniture test1 = new Furniture();
	 }
}

Option 2:
public static void main(String[] args); remove the semi-colon and make the method on its own by placing the main method form above, in furniture class.

you need to have it like this

 class PassByValue 
{   // open class
	public static void main(String[] args) 
   {  //  open  main 
		double one = 1.0;
		
		System.out.println("before: one = " + one);
		halveIt(one);
		System.out.println("after: one = " + one);
	} // close main 

	// your methods need to have the static keyword if you are using them  in the same class main is
	public static void halveIt(double arg)
		  {
		arg /= 2.0;	 // divide arg by two
		System.out.println("halved: arg = " + arg);
		  }

}// close class 

notice the static keyword in the method

[pbl]

Indent your code correctlyt and it will become obvious
Beside the ; that terminates
public static void main(String[] args);
and that shouldn't be there... you will see that your main() method contains other methods... you can't do that
also... all your variables are defined within the main method... they cannot be seen by other methods... all these variables should be variables defined as instance variables of your class
The main() method in a Java class should have only a few lines... creating a new object by instantiating a new instance of the class

	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		int furnitureType;
		String chosenWood = " ";
		double chosenRate = 0;
