Rename your class to Triangle and see if that fixes it.

[VonWheeler]

That helped solve some of the problems but still have these errors..



Triangle.java:55: class, interface, or enum expected
return side1 + side2 + side3;
^
Triangle.java:56: class, interface, or enum expected
}
^
Triangle.java:58: class, interface, or enum expected
public String toString()
^
Triangle.java:61: class, interface, or enum expected
}
^
4 errors

public double getPerimeter();
}
return side1 + side2 + side3;
}

The first bracket is the wrong one. Switch it from } to { and you should be good.

[VonWheeler]

Overlooked that obviously. I fixed that and couple new errors appeared but I fixed those but however, after I compiled and ran it now there is a runtime error. Ugh!

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main
Exception in thread "main"
----jGRASP wedge2: exit code for process is 1.
----jGRASP: operation complete.


Now I'm not sure what to do. This mean just isn't going to work or what?

thanks for all your help so far. Much appreciated.

This is the code I have when I got that..

public class Triangle {

		private double side1 = 1.0;
		private double side2 = 1.0;
		private double side3 = 1.0;
		
		public Triangle()
		{
		}
		
		public Triangle(double side1, double side2, double side3)
		{
			this.side1 = side1;
			this.side2 = side2;
			this.side3 = side3;
		}
		
		public void setSide1(double side1)
		{
			this.side1 = side1;
		}
		
		public void setSide2(double side2)
		{
			this.side2 = side2;
		}
		
		public void setSide3(double side3)
		{
			this.side3 = side3;
		}
		
		public double getSide1()
		{
			return side1;
		}
		
		public double getSide2()
		{
			return side2;
		}
		
		public double getSide3()
		{
			return side3;
		}
		
		public double getArea()
		{
			return side1 * side2 * side3;
		}
		
		public double getPerimeter()
		{
			return side1 + side2 + side3;
		}
		
		public String toString()
		{
			return "Triangle: Side 1 = " + side1 + "Side2 = " + side2 + " Side3 = " + side3;
		}
	}

From the error you're getting it seems to me, but I barely know anything about Java, that you need a main function. The help I've given so far is just object oriented programming basics that generally work across all OOP languages. For help with the main method, you'll have to get someone else in here with more experience in Java. Wish I could help more, but glad I could at least help at all.

[VonWheeler]

Yeah, I'm in first programming class but yes thanks for everything.

Please help me with the main method and figuring out what to do..

[ianian112]

you need a main method

public static void main(String[] args){
//code here
}

you would put in code to call your Triangle class, and all methods that you want to perform

[VonWheeler]

Sorry but could you tell me what code I need?

If you don't know how or what a main() method is, you did not write this code and you are trying to cheat. It's not appreciated.

Open any basic (not advanced) Java book I am sure you will find plenty of examples using a main() method as the main() method is required to run any Java application.

[VonWheeler]

Actually I wrote most of it with help from a friend. Some stuff I don't remember to do as easily as others. Idk why but just don't but thanks <pbl>. I appreciate your help.

OK let's not waste time with a pedagogic approach
If you steal that code why not stealing the solution

public class Triangle {

	private double side1 = 1.0;
	private double side2 = 1.0;
	private double side3 = 1.0;

	public Triangle()
	{
	}

	public Triangle(double side1, double side2, double side3)
	{
		this.side1 = side1;
		this.side2 = side2;
		this.side3 = side3;
	}

	public void setSide1(double side1)
	{
		this.side1 = side1;
	}

	public void setSide2(double side2)
	{
		this.side2 = side2;
	}

	public void setSide3(double side3)
	{
		this.side3 = side3;
	}

	public double getSide1()
	{
		return side1;
	}

	public double getSide2()
	{
		return side2;
	}

	public double getSide3()
	{
		return side3;
	}

	public double getArea()
	{
		return side1 * side2 * side3;
	}

	public double getPerimeter()
	{
		return side1 + side2 + side3;
	}

	public String toString()
	{
		return "Triangle: Side 1 = " + side1 + "Side2 = " + side2 + " Side3 = " + side3;
	}
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// lets build a Triangle
		Triangle t = new Triangle(2.0, 3.0, 5.0);
		// prints it's perimeter
		System.out.println("The triangle preimeter is: " + t.getPerimeter());
	}
}
