Cannot be applied to (java.io.PrintWriter) error

Question

Hi guys I get the following errors when trying to compile my program and I was wondering how to solve it
printPay() in PaySlip cannot be applied to (java.io.PrintWriter)
slip.printPay(slipWrite)
import java.io.*;
public class PayApp
  public static void main(String[] args)
    boolean end_of_file = false;
    EmpInFile   f1 =  new EmpInFile(); 
    EmpOutFile  f2 =  new EmpOutFile();
    Employee    emp = null;       
    PaySlip     slip = null;           
    Report   sum = null;     
    PrintWriter slipWrite = null;
    PrintWriter sumWrite  = null;
    if (args.length != 4)    // correct number ?
      errExit("Names of Input employee file , output employee file, payslip file \n, and report file required");
     emp = new Employee();
     sum =   new Report();
     slip  = new PaySlip(emp,sum);
   try
       f1.openFile(args[0]);  
       f2.openFile(args[1]);  
       slipWrite = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(args[2]));
       sumWrite =  new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(args[3]));
      catch(IOException e)
         System.err.println("error opening files" + e.toString());
         System.exit(1);
     while (!end_of_file )
        end_of_file = f1.readRecord(emp);
        if(!end_of_file)
           slip.printPay(slipWrite); 
           f2.addRecord(emp);  
        }// end if ! end
      }// end while
       System.out.println("All employees processed ");
       sum.printTotals(sumWrite);  
       sumWrite.flush();
       sumWrite.close();        
       slipWrite.flush();
       slipWrite.close();
       f1.closeFile();
       f2.closeFile();
  static void  errExit(String message)
   System.err.println(message);
   System.exit(1);
public class PaySlip
// declare variables
     private double gross;
     private double tax;
     private double taxcredits;
     private Employee emp;
     private Report rep;
     public PaySlip (Employee e, Report r)
     emp = e;
     rep = r;
     double gross = 0;
     double tax = 0;
     double taxcredits = 0;
     public void setGross(double gr)
     gross = gr;
     public void setTax(double tx)
     tax = tx;
     public void settaxCreds(double taxcreds)
     taxcredits = taxcreds;
     public void printPay()
     emp.calcPay(this);
     double netpay;
     netpay = gross - tax;
     System.out.println("____________________________________________________");
     System.out.println("               Payslip Information                  ");
     System.out.println("Employee Name: \t\t" +emp.getFirst() +" "+ emp.getLast());
     System.out.println("Employee Id: \t\t" +emp.getId());
     System.out.println("Net Pay: \t" +netpay);
     System.out.println("Year To Date Gross: \t" +emp.getYtdGross());
     System.out.println("Year To Date Tax: \t" +emp.getYtdTax());
     System.out.println("____________________________________________________");
     System.out.println("               Department Totals                    ");
     char dcode = emp.getDeptCode();
     rep.addToTotals(gross,tax,dcode);
}Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Post the actual error which would in include a line number when noting errors.
slip.printPay(slipWrite); The method printPay() does not take parameters. So you can't put 'slipWrite" there.
