Hey not sure exactly what I did but I got it to work, here's my main class so you can take a look:

public class Main extends JFrame {

    private Shape[] shapes;         // the array of shapes to be randomly filled   

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new Main();
    } // end main()

    public Main() {
        // TODO: Create an array of 100 Shape elements.
        // TODO: insert code here

        shapes = new Shape[100];
        for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
            Color color = new Color((int) (Math.random() * 256), (int) (Math.random() * 256), (int) (Math.random() * 256));
            int typeOfObject = (Math.random() < 0.5) ? 0 : 1;
            int isFilledNum = (Math.random() < 0.5) ? 0 : 1;
            boolean isFilled;
            if (isFilledNum == 0) {
                isFilled = false;
            } else {
                isFilled = true;
            }

            
            if (typeOfObject == 0) {
                shapes[i] = new Rectangle((int) (Math.random() * 800),
                        (int) (Math.random() * 600),
                        (int) (Math.random() * 100),
                        (int) (Math.random() * 100),
                        color,
                        isFilled);
            } else {
                shapes[i] = new Circle((int) (Math.random() * 800),
                        (int) (Math.random() * 600),
                        color,
                        isFilled,
                        (int) (Math.random() * 50));
            }
        }
        setTitle("Abstract Class Demo");
        setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        setSize(800, 600);
        setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        setVisible(true);
      

    } // end Main()

    @Override
    public void paint(Graphics g) {
        // Uses a fast enumeration to draw out all the shapes.
        for (Object s : shapes) {
            ((Shape) s).draw(g);
        }
    } // end paint()
} // end Main

Make sure you put parenthesis like this on your typecasted randoms: (int) (Math.random() * 800), otherwise it rounds the random down to 0 before you even multiply.

adonaldson it is pretty hard to help you when you dont post your updated code

I went in threw in the parathesis and it works. Too bad I didn't read this before I turned it in. Thank you so much though. I knew it had to be trivial.

It is not compiling at all. It's throwing lots of errors. and the JFrame comes up blank. I did everything that was instructed but obviously have missed something.

Sure !!! If the compilation generates errors how can you expect results from running the program... You completly missed a concept
