/** A class that enters

import java.util.Scanner;// imports a scanner for use by the class

DVDInventory myDVDInventory = new DVDInventory(theTitle,inventory,quantity,price,count); the problem seems to be here because this is where I get error message when I'm trying to pass to class named DVD

Answer 1

this is the code that is important
import java.util.Scanner;// imports a scanner for use by the class
public class DVDInfo
public static void main(String args[])
String theTitle[] = new String[10];// array of titles
int inventory [] = new int[10];// array of ten for inventory
int quantity []= new int[10];// array of ten for quantity
double price []= new double[10];// array for the price of each double
int count = 0;// variable to track what information is suppose to be passed to class
System.out.println(" Welcome to DVD Inventory Program!");//Welcome message for the user
System.out.println();//returns a blank line
boolean stop = false;// boolean charcter to make program stop
while(! stop)
Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );// creates scanner to use
System.out.println(" Enter an item name or stop to Quit: ");// prompt user for input
theTitle[count] = input.nextLine();// assigns the value to Title
if (theTitle[count].equals("stop"))
System.out.println();//returns a blank line
System.out.println(" The DVD Inventory has been entered!");// diplay exit message to
stop = true;
} // end if
else // continue to get data
System.out.println();//returns a blank line
System.out.println(" Enter the item number must be greater equal or greater than zero: ");// prompt user for input
inventory[count] = input.nextInt();// assigns value to inventory
if (inventory[count] < 0)// continue until proper value has been entered
System.out.println( " Error no numbers can be below zero!");
System.out.println(" Enter the item number must be greater equal or greater than zero: ");// prompt user for input
inventory[count] = input.nextInt();// assigns value to inventory
}// end if
System.out.println();//returns a blank line
System.out.println(" Enter the amount of DVDs you have must be greater than zero: ");// prompt user for input
quantity[count]= input.nextInt();// assigns value to inventory
if( quantity[count] <= 0)// continue to proper data is entered
System.out.println( " Error: you have no inventory for this item ");// error message sent to user
System.out.println(" Enter the amount of DVDs you have must be greater than zero: ");// prompt user for input
quantity[count]= input.nextInt();// assigns value to inventory
}//end if
System.out.println();//returns a blank line
System.out.println( " Enter the cost per DVD: ");// prompt user for input
price[count] = input.nextDouble();// assigns the value to price
count++;//increaments count 1
}// end else
}// end while
DVDInventory myDVDInventory = new DVDInventory(theTitle,inventory,quantity,price,count);
}// end main
}// end class The problem seems to be when I try to pass all the variables to the class DVDInventory the first statement after all. I get message that say can't find java. String
