How to insert a date variable in java?

Cannot Find Symbol (Java)?

• When I compile my program, it says the error occurred on Line 70, which is this: Television bigScreen = new Television("Toshiba", 55); What am I doing wrong? import java.util.Scanner; /** * COSC 1436 Lab 8 * TelevisionDemo.java * Purpose: This class serves to demonstrate the Television class you will write * @author Dr. Tim McGuire * @author (your name here) * @version 1.0 (today's date here) */ public class TelevisionDemo { String MANUFACTURER; //Holds the brand name.

• Answer:

  The TelevisionDemo class can't find the Television class. It means that if the Television class exists, it's not currently available to the TelevisionDemo class. Assuming the Television class exists and is public: There are two ways to make it available to TelevisionDemo: – Make sure they're in the same folder. Then TelevisionDemo will be able to find the Television class. – Or, if you've learned about packages, you could store Television in a package and import it to the TelevisionDemo class. ——————————————— EDIT: I think the error is one of these: – Does Television.class exist? If Television.java exists, but Television.class doesn't, you should compile Television.java first. – Are Television.class and TelevisionDemo.class in the same folder? Make sure they're in the same folder. ——————————————— EDIT(2): "... cannot be applied to given types" means that you're using the wrong parameters. You should use the same as the ones you wrote in Television.java. If it says someMethod(int n), you have to put an int between the brackets. For instance: bigScreen.someMethod(24); If it says someMethod(), put nothing between the brackets. Like this: bigScreen.someMethod(); etc. Example: Maybe you made a method: decreaseVolume(int n) but when calling it, you call it like this: bigScreen.decreaseVolume(); NOTE: The error may possibly be in Television.java. You should check if the methods have the right parameters. You could also add the exact error message on here if you are unable to solve the problem. Then I'll know which method it happens to. ——————————————— EDIT(3): It doesn't seem like Television has a method called power(). Maybe you named it something else, or maybe you didn't make it at all. Also, when you made the method getScreenSize(), you gave it some kind of parameter. You may have written getScreenSize(int SCREEN_SIZE) when you were supposed to write getScreenSize(). You should open Television.java and remove that parameter. ——————————————— EDIT(4): Television has no method called power(). You may have called it powerOn or getPower, if you made it at all. By the way, your code was too large to be pasted. You could paste your code on here: http://pastebin.com and add the link as additional details.
