Here is my code.

package JessicaSaurerWeek3TreeLab;

/*

*/

import java.util.*;
import java.util.Iterator;

public class JessicaSaurerWeek3TreeLab implements Comparable<JessicaSaurerWeek3TreeLab>
{
    private char one_letter;

    public JessicaSaurerWeek3TreeLab (char oneletter)
	{
		one_letter = oneletter;
	}

    public int compareTo(JessicaSaurerWeek3TreeLab o)
	{
		if (this == o) return 0;
		if (this.o < one_letter) return -1;
	}

    @Override
    public String toString()
	{
		return""+one_letter;
	}


    public static void main(String[]args){

	String fullname = " Jessica Saurer";
        System.out.println("My name is" + fullname);

	JessicaSaurerWeek3TreeLab oletter1 = new JessicaSaurerWeek3TreeLab("s");
        JessicaSaurerWeek3TreeLab oletter2 = new JessicaSaurerWeek3TreeLab("a");
        JessicaSaurerWeek3TreeLab oletter3 = new JessicaSaurerWeek3TreeLab("u");
        JessicaSaurerWeek3TreeLab oletter4 = new JessicaSaurerWeek3TreeLab("r");
        JessicaSaurerWeek3TreeLab oletter5 = new JessicaSaurerWeek3TreeLab("e");
        JessicaSaurerWeek3TreeLab oletter6 = new JessicaSaurerWeek3TreeLab("r");

        System.out.println(oletter1 + "" +oletter2);

        System.out.println("Contents of treeset");

        Iterator it1 = t1.iterator();

        while(it1.hasNext()){
            Object o1 = it1.next();
            System.out.println(o1);

    }
    }
}

Now I am getting two different cannot find symbol errors. The first one it in the compareTo section, on the line if (this.o < one_letter) return -1;. The error is for the "o". I don't understand this error since it excepted the "o" in the line right above it. The next cannot find symbol error is in the tree set section. It says cannot find symbol JessicaSaurerWeek3TreeLab. I think it is referring to the one next to new. Again I don't understand why. Can anyone explain this to me?

[japanir]

this refers to this object.
o is not a member of JessicaSaurerWeek3TreeLab Object.
so you cannot refer o as

this.o

o is only a parameter you pass to the compareTo method.
perhaps you mean:

if(o.oneLetter < this.oneLetter)

as for the TreeSet problem, I see no TreeSet Object in your code.
what is t1? perhaps it is an Object you forgot to declare?

Hi all I am new to this site and let me say it has been a help...a great help. I also want to say that JGrasp is a good compiler for beginners (like me) and I also want to say thank you to the creator of the tutorial at

http://www.dreaminco...c-gui-concepts/

below in my code I am getting the cannot find symbol error

import javax.swing.JFrame; 
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class MortgageCalculator extends JFrame
{
	
		//declare the width & height of the calculator
		private static final int Width = 300;

		private JLabel MAmount;
		private JLabel MRate;
		private JLabel MTime;
		private JLabel MPayment;
		//declare the text fields for the calculator

			      }
}

        {

        {
                MortgageCalculator mortObj = new MortgageCalculator();
        }
        
}			

I thought i followed the tutorial carefully enough but it seems i am doing something different.

Thanks in advanced.

You only imported import javax.swing.JFrame;; however, many other GUI components like JLabel are also in the javax.swing package. To be safe, you may want to import import javax.swing.*; to take care of everything.

Also, in the future, feel free to open up a new thread for your topic rather than continuing on someone else's. That way, it gets the attention you need.

Hi jessica, i looked your code and you used iterator but There is nothing for using it.
May be you wanted to create an JessicaSaurerWeek3TreeLab array and to use iterator on traverseling.
First declare an arrray of JessicaSaurerWeek3TreeLab
Then add all JessicaSaurerWeek3TreeLab nodes to array( oletter1 , oletter2 ... )
after all your code make sense
i hope this helps you.

This question was answered, though I would like to point out one thing. In the beginning you have your imports:

import java.util.*:
import java.util.Iterator;

The second import is unnecessary because you did a wildcard import first (which gets all classes in the java.util package). In other words, your first import is already importing iterator.
