"cannot resolve symbol" help..

Here is a very short and simpel program that won't compile after I reinstalled java on my computer.
import java.lang.Math.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class PiTest extends Frame {
     public static void main(String[] p){
     System.out.println("testing MATHs");
     System.out.println(""+sin(10));
I get the following error:
PiTest.java:8: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : method sin (int)
location: class PiTest
System.out.println(""+sin(10));
^
[total 1553ms]
1 error
Why doesn't the compiler recognise the sine function? I have set my classpath to c:\j2sdk1.4.1_01\lib.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong...

Replace sin(10) with Math.sin(10), it should work.
import java.lang.Math.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class PiTest extends Frame {
public static void main(String[] p){
System.out.println("testing MATHs");
//System.out.println(""+sin(10));
System.out.println(""+Math.sin(10));

    sum= num2 - num1;

  • Need help - method call error cannot resolve symbol

    My code compiles fine but I continue to receive a method call error "cannot resolve symbol - variable superman" - can't figure out why. Here is my code:
    public static String caesar(String message, int shift)
    {   [b]String result = "";
    for(int i = 0; i < message.length(); ++i)
    {   [b]char newChar = message.charAt(i + shift);
    result += newChar;
    return result.toUpperCase();
    I entered "superman" for message and "3" for the shift. Can someone please help? Thanks!

    Your post worked great - especially since it made me realize I was going about it all wrong! I was attempting to convert "superman" to "vxshupdq" - basically a cipher shift starting at index 0 and shifting it 3 character values which would result in s changing to v. I restructured my code:
    public static String caesar(String message, int shift)
    {   [b]String result = "";
    for(int i = 0; i < message.length(); ++i)
    {   [b]char newChar = message.charAt(i);
    result += (newChar + shift) % message.length();
    return result.toUpperCase();
    But it's displaying the result as a "60305041". How can I get it to display the actual characters?

  • Help!!! error: cannot resolve symbol

    can anyone tell me how to solve the following problem
    thank you
    cannot resolve symbol
    symbol : method decode (java.lang.String)
    location: class java.lang.Short
    Short psmShort = Short.decode(psmString);
    ^
    Long bdAddrLong = Long.decode("0x" + bdAddrString);
    ^

    that is because these methods does not exist. What you can use instead is parseShort(String) or parseLong.
    Maybe reading the javadoc could help you next time ;-)

    Is ConnectionPool in this "cal" package as well as PooledConnection? From the directory you are compiling from it appears that it is. If it is, then you are compiling it incorrectly. To compile ConnectionPool (and PooledConnection similarly), you must change the current directory to the one that contains cal and type
    javac cal/ConnectionPool.

  • Import java.util.Formatter - cannot resolve symbol

    I use j2sdk1.4.2_04
    when I try to compile my program using Formatter, it response error "cannot resolve symbol"
    Pls help!

    Where did you get this java.util.Formatter from? If you check the official 1.4.2 API for Java, that class does not exisit! However, java.util.logging.Formatter, does exisit...
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/
    If you ment: java.util.logging.Formatter have you checked the API to make sure you are using it correctly???

    cannot resolve symbol
    symbol : method drawString (java.lang.String,int,int,int)
    This is telling you that you are trying to invoke the drawString() method with 4 parameters: String, int, int, int
    If you look at the API the drawString() method need 3 parameters: String, int, int - so you have an extra int
    location: class java.awt.Graphics
    g.drawString ("draw3DRect", x, y, + rectHeight + 25);
    Now is you look at your code you will find that you have 3 ',' in you method call. (I don't think you want the ',' after the y.

  • Compiling error - cannot resolve symbol

    Hi,
    I am working on writing out this basic code for a project. When I compile, I get an error "Cannot resolve symbol" for the gpa variable. Please help!
    My intention is to use the hours and points from the crHours and nbrPoints methods, and use them to calculate GPA in the grPtAvg method:
    public class Student
         public static void main(String[]args)
    idNum();
    crHours();
    nbrpoints();
    gpa = grPtAvg(hours, points);
    System.out.println("Student's GPA is " + gpa);
    public static void idNum()
    int id = 2520;
    System.out.println("Student's ID is " + id);
    public static float crHours()
    float hours = 5;
    System.out.println("Student's credit hours are " + hours);
    return hours;
    public static float nbrpoints()
    float points = 22;
    System.out.println("Student's earned points are " + points);
    return points;
    public static float grPtAvg(float hours, float points)
    float gpa;
    gpa = points / hours;
    System.out.println("Student's computed GPA is " + gpa);
    return gpa;

    That's because you're doing the same thing (in a somewhat different way) with those.
    The variables: hours and points have already been returned to main methd, right?Yes, but then the main method ignores them.
    So, they should be available at this point in the code, is that right?Available in the sense that you can read them, but not in the sense that there are hours and points variables within scope in the main method.
    You want to do this:
    public static void main(String[] args) {
       idNum();
       float hours = crHours();
       float points = nbrpoints();
       //create a new float
       float myComputetdGpa = grPtAvg(hours, points);
       System.out.println("Student's GPA is " + myComputedGpa);
    }
