Cannot find symbols and characters table in Excel.

Hi, could you please help me with finding symbols ( arrow up and down etc.) and characters in Excel. I tried all menues but couldn't find them.
Thank you in advance.

Is that what you are talking about?
To display the outline symbols, on the Excel menu, click Preferences, and then click View. Select the Outline symbols check box.

Cannot find symbol and streams

I am making some progress with implimenting the icaste jar file to control the serial port. My code is below. I have a problem with the statement osOut.write(bData,0,0); at the bottom of the code. cannot find symbol
I am trying to write one byte to the serial port, I don't understand the use of the outputStream being used here from java.io , If I knew how the access worked on a lower level perhaps I could figure it out.
In an AVR microcontroller for example, you set up the hardware on the chip to output a byte you place in a buffer, when there is data to read you have an interrupt set to jump to an isr routine that receives a byte and puts it in your own memory space or array. The hardware has a buffer it uses to hold some number of bytes and error flags to find out if you have a buffer overrun.
Not sure if that concept is what is going on here or not.

Ok, I can finally put this question to bed. My main error was not knowing what the line of code actually was. After 4 hours of reading http://www.yu.edu/faculty/arosnfld/java/javanotes-3.1/c5/s3.html and a nice email from the tech at icaste, I finally understand what is going on and what it all means.
If you would like to see what I am up too you can check out the DMX light prototype moveie I made a few weeka ago. It is using a program called freescale and a DMX controller connected to a USB port. The serial port can be configured to operate a USB port from windows point of view and that is my next quest to study how a USB port connection works on the hardware side.
Thanks for the help and links, I wish there was more time in the day, and night to cram all this stuff in my head.

Java Studio Enterprise 8.1 and jdk1.6 - cannot find symbol

Hi,
I am using subj. The problem I have is that I declared 2-3 classes with methods in one package. I made an object of the class and use intellisense to navigate to the method I need but when I try to compile the code I have "cannot find symbol" error on the method I intellisensed to. It seems to me that it is IDE problem.
Does anyone know how to work around it?
The code is below, in case you are interested.
package webservice;
import java.io.*;
public class Main {
/** Creates a new instance of Main */
public Main() {
* @param args the command line arguments
public static void main(String[] args) {
String filename = null;
String timestamp = null;
try {
Q q = new Q();
timestamp = "2007-06-01";
QList ql = q.getList(timestamp);
System.out.println("--------------Ok-------------");
catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println("An Exception thrown in Main(). e = "+e.toString());
package webservice;
public class Q {
public Q() {
public QList getList(String timestamp) {
QList result = null;
return result;
Thanks,
Dmitry

Thanks for that Kris.
I found the root of my problem. In this example I used a remote webservice to retrieve some data. It happened to be that the generated class file from wsdl and my custom class had the same name.
So, instead of reporting as ambiguous definition error the ide picked up the wrong class and did not find the method I intended to use.
Hopefully it will help someone else having the same problem.
Dmitry

Need help with class info and cannot find symbol error.

I having problems with a cannot find symbol error. I cant seem to figure it out.
I have about 12 of them in a program I am trying to do. I was wondering if anyone could help me out?
Here is some code I am working on:
// This will test the invoice class application.
// This program involves a hardware store's invoice.
//import java.util.*;
public class InvoiceTest
     public static void main( String args[] )
     Invoice invoice1 = new Invoice( "1234", "Hammer", 2, 14.95 );
// display invoice1
     System.out.println("Original invoice information" );
     System.out.println("Part number: ", invoice1.getPartNumber() );
     System.out.println("Description: ", invoice1.getPartDescription() );
     System.out.println("Quantity: ", invoice1.getQuantity() );
     System.out.println("Price: ", invoice1.getPricePerItem() );
     System.out.println("Invoice amount: ", invoice1.getInvoiceAmount() );
// change invoice1's data
     invoice1.setPartNumber( "001234" );
     invoice1.setPartDescription( "Yellow Hammer" );
     invoice1.setQuantity( 3 );
     invoice1.setPricePerItem( 19.49 );
// display invoice1 with new data
     System.out.println("Updated invoice information" );
     System.out.println("Part number: ", invoice1.getPartNumber() );
     System.out.println("Description: ", invoice1.getPartDescription() );
     System.out.println("Quantity: ", invoice1.getQuantity() );
     System.out.println("Price: ", invoice1.getPricePerItem() );
     System.out.println("Invoice amount: ", invoice1.getInvoiceAmount() );
and that uses this class file:
public class Invoice
private String partNumber;
private String partDescription;
private int quantityPurchased;
private double pricePerItem;
     public Invoice( String ID, String desc, int purchased, double price )
          partNumber = ID;
     partDescription = desc;
     if ( purchased >= 0 )
     quantityPurchased = purchased;
     if ( price > 0 )
     pricePerItem = price;
public double getInvoiceAmount()
     return quantityPurchased * pricePerItem;
public void setPartNumber( String newNumber )
     partNumber = newNumber;
     System.out.println(partDescription+" has changed to part "+newNumber);
public String getPartNumber()
     return partNumber;
public void setDescription( String newDescription )
     System.out.printf("%s now refers to %s, not %s.\n",
partNumber, newDescription, partDescription);
     partDescription = newDescription;
public String getDescription()
     return partDescription;
public void setPricePerItem( double newPrice )
     if ( newPrice > 0 )
pricePerItem = newPrice;
public double getPricePerItem()
return pricePerItem;
Any tips for helping me out?

System.out.println("Part number:

The + sign will concatenate invoice1.getPartNumber()

"cannot find symbol" error - password checker class

I had to make a program to check a password to make sure it had two letters, at least eight characters, and only numbers and letters. I'm pretty sure I have all of the checking correct but I can't make use of the method I made to do it. here is my code:
          if(password.LegalPassword())
               System.out.println("You enterend a valid password!");
          else
               System.out.println("You have entered an invalid password!");
class LegitPassword
               //constructor
     public LegitPassword(String userPassword)
     public boolean LegalPassword (String userPassword)
               int digitCounter = 0;
               for(int i = 0; i < userPassword.length(); i++)
                         //is character a letter or number?
                    if(!(Character.isDigit(userPassword.charAt(i))) || !(Character.isLetter(userPassword.charAt(i))))
                         return false;
                         //is the password at least 8 characters?
                    if(userPassword.length() <= 8)
                         return false;
                         //count the digits
                    if(Character.isDigit(userPassword.charAt(i)))

               if(digitCounter <= 2)
                         return false;

Neither really,
GrammarWriter.OutPutFormat is the name of the class,
GrammarWriter$OutPutFormat.class is the file into which the class is stored.

Error in importing user-created jar file & cannot find symbol

Hello.
I try to import the jar file made from common classes in the previous project. by using NB 5.5.1.
The jar file is named as 'tpslib.jar'
The previoud package name is 'tps'.
I added tpslib.jar in the library, and removed the class files from the orginal project, because the class files exist in the tpslib.jar.
THe jar file has 8 class files inclduing the following class, ReservationData.
My question is why the follwoing fuction call try to the method in the previous package, tps instead of those of tpslib.jar.
If you have anyone to answer me, it will be very appreciated.
Tae

Newbie question: cannot find symbol symbol: class STRING

I've just decided to teach myself some java, and on my first try something's going wrong and I don't know what it is.

Cannot find symbol class

I am having a "Cannot find symbol" problem. My Java is a bit rusty so I'm not exactly sure what it could be. I have two classes, City and SisterCities. The SisterCities references the City class. The City class compiles fine. Both classes are part of the same package. However, when I compile SisterCities, I get the error. Could you please tell me how to get the second class to recognize the first (import, extends, not really sure. I've tried alot) Here are those two classes so far...
****** City ********
package hw01;
public class City
     public final String name;
     public final String country;
     public final City [] sisters;
public City (String name, String country)
          // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");
          this.name = name;
          this.country = country;
          this.sisters = new City [0];
public City (String name, String country, City [] sisters)
          // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");
          this.name = name;
          this.country = country;
          this.sisters = new City [sisters.length];
          for (int i = 0; i < sisters.length; i++) {
               this.sisters[i] = sisters;
public void setSisters (City [] sisters)
          // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");
          for (int i = 0; i < sisters.length; i++) {
               this.sisters[i] = sisters[i];
public String getName ()
          // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");
          return this.name;
public String getCountry ()
          // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");
          return this.country;
public City [] getSisters ()
          // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");
          return this.sisters;
******** SisterCities *********
package hw01;
import java.util.LinkedList;
public class SisterCities
     public final LinkedList cityList;
public SisterCities ()
          // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");
public void addCity (City city)
          // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");
          this.cityList.add(city);
public int getNumCities ()
          // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");
public City getCity (int i)
          // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");

final attribute members like "cityList" must be initialised when they're declared or inside the constructors
if you want to compile, you'll also have to uncomment the "throws" in your methods (or return a value)
(pay attention to the error messages the compiler gives you and paste them all when posting questions)

Cannot find symbol class ParseException

I have this in my code how ever
DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("ddMMyyyy");
dDateStamp = (Date)formatter.parse(dateStamp);
When I pass in say
dateStamp=safsadssad sa;
I get an error which is fine.
I can not seem to catch this error with try catch
When I use the one below it says it cannot find the symbol
When i use the Exception it still throws and error to jsp page
cannot find symbol
symbol : class ParseException
}catch(ParseException e){
symbol : class ParseException
}catch(ParseException e){
Any One know I csn trap this?
Thanks in advance

Well, it's in the j2se API. Not sure what to tell you...

Cannot find symbol class Scanner

hi all
i'm defining a class within a project so i can use the class inside my program, but the line:
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);generates an error with my compiler:
cannot find symbol class Scanner
please help

you aren't using jdk 5 or higher then. that's when scanner was added to the jdk.
download a modern jdk and you'll be fine.

Cannot find symbol : class ! problem

Hello,
I have 2 java files (CD.java & CDCatalog.java) in a package called "testPackage". I can compile CD.java, but CDCatalog.java (that creates CD instances) gives following error - cannot find symbol symbol : class CD
Below are the 2 files, please tell me why I get this errors , thanks!
1) CDCatalog.java
package testPackages;
import java.util.Hashtable;
//import testPackages.CD;
public class CDCatalog {
/** The CDs, by title */
private Hashtable catalog;
public CDCatalog( ) {
catalog = new Hashtable( );
// Seed the catalog
addCD(new CD("Nickel Creek", "Nickel Creek", "Sugar Hill"));
addCD(new CD("Let it Fall", "Sean Watkins", "Sugar Hill"));
addCD(new CD("Aerial Boundaries", "Michael Hedges", "Windham Hill"));
addCD(new CD("Taproot", "Michael Hedges", "Windham Hill"));
public void addCD(CD cd) {
if (cd == null) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("The CD object cannot be null.");
catalog.put(cd.getTitle( ), cd);
2) CD.java
package testPackages;
public class CD {
private String title;
private String artist;
private String label;
public CD( ) {
// Default constructor
public CD(String title, String artist, String label) {
this.title = title;
this.artist = artist;
this.label = label;
public String getTitle( ) {
return title;
public void setTitle(String title) {
this.title = title;
public String getArtist( ) {
return artist;
public void setArtist(String artist) {
this.artist = artist;
public String getLabel( ) {
return label;
public void setLabel(String label) {
this.label = label;
public String toString( ) {
return "'" + title + "' by " + artist + ", on " +
label;
}

just tried it as well, no problems, provided you
compile CD.java firstI just tried from the shell ans look at this...

5 errors
E:\testPackages>I am now officially confused. I even specified the exact path to the CD.class file and javac still didnt like it.
I'll dig some more. It has to be related to the classpath some how..

Still Stumped.. I'll sleep on it..

Cannot find Symbol :class CLOB

Hi,
I am using JDK1.5.0_06 and Oracle8.1.7.
When i compile java program I am getting the following error
cannot find symbol
symbol : class CLOB
I have added classes12.zip into classpath.
Can anybody tell me why this errpr comes? Is there any other files instead of classes12.zip to be added (since its JDK1.5 version? )
Thanks in advance

you have mentioned about the class "studentList" but that class is not to be found in the code you have pasted. its instead "ListTest". And the "menu" function seems to b a part of "ListTest" class. Can you provide the structure of the classes "studentList" and "Student" so that the problem can be more clearly understood?
also you are using the variable "Stdin" in the line int choice = Stdin.readInteger(); where as you have not declared this variable.
in the "switch" statement you are calling two different functions for the same case "3" where as it should be "case 3" and "case 4" respectively.
in the "main" you are calling the "menu" function without any parameter while you actually want to pass argument of type "studentList".

Hi,
java is case sensitive, Check the case in class name.
