Class Expected error - HELP

Hi I've been workin on a project, and it seems something is wrong with this code... i honestly cannot figure it out...
here it is :
Uses the following methods:
public static boolean areEquivalent (String word1, String word2)
This method reutrns true or false depending on whether the two input arguments hae equal numbers of A's, B's, and C's (in any order.) You may assume that each string contains only these lowercase characters, in any order or quantity. For example, areEquivalent("abcbca","ccbbaa... ) would return true, because each input string contains 2 as, 2 bs, and 2cs.
this is the code i have so far:
public static boolean areEquivalent(String word1, String word2)
int count = 0;
String line;
for ( int i = 0; i<char.length; i++)
saasd
if count = as + word 2
true
else count = bs + word 2
true
else count = cs + word 2
true
else as==bs==cs
return true
}

Hi,
May I know what is your actual code?
And what error did you get?
thanks
daniel

.class expected error

I am consistently recieving an error message that says ".class expected" on the "Easter date = new Easter (int year);" line every time i try to compile my tester class. Can anyone help me figure out the problem? Here is my tester/driver class:
* Tester Class
* Ben Mathews
* September 13th, 2009
public class EasterTester
public static void main (String [ ] arg)
Easter date = new Easter (int year );
date.calculate ();
}// end main
}// end Easter

When you post code, click on "CODE" to generate code tags and paste your code between the tags. Then it will look like this, which will help you get help. /*

          Easter date = new Easter (int year );
          date.calculate ();
     }// end main
}// end Easter When you define a constructor (or a method) with a parameter, you have to tell the compiler what type that parameter is, for example //a constructor example
public Easter(int year) But, when you use a constructor (or method) with a parameter, you just put in the value or variable, for example int year = 1999;
Easter date = new Easter (year);

'.class' expected Error when trying to pass an Array

In the below method I am trying to return an array. The compiler gives me one error: '.class' expected. I am not sure if I am writing the 'return' statement correctly and not really sure of another way to code it. Below is a portion of the code and I can post all of it if need be but the other methods seem to be fine.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class LibraryUserAccount
Scanner input=new Scanner(System.in);
private final int MAX_BOOKS_ALLOWED;
private int checkedOutBookCounter;
private long accountNumber;
private String socialSecurityNumber, name, address;
private final long isbnNumbers[];
//constructor
public LibraryUserAccount(long accountNumber, int maxBooksAllowed)
     this.accountNumber = 0;
     MAX_BOOKS_ALLOWED = maxBooksAllowed;
//returns the array isbnNumbers[]
public long getCheckedOutBooksISBNNumbers()
     return isbnNumbers[];
The error displayed as:
LibraryUserAccount.java:111: '.class' expected
     return isbnNumbers[];
^
1 error
Thanks in advance for the help.

Rewriting the method as:
public long[] getCheckedOutBooksISBNNumbers()
return isbnNumbers;
... has fixed that particular compiler error. Thanks jverd. I appreciate the help.
On a separate note I am having trouble with initializing the array. What I am trying to do is initialize an array of a size equal to a value passed to the class. Example being:
//variables
private final int MAX_BOOKS_ALLOWED;
private long accountNumber;
private final long[] isbnNumbers;
//constructor method
public LibraryUserAccount(long accountNumber, int maxBooksAllowed)
this.accountNumber = 0;
MAX_BOOKS_ALLOWED = maxBooksAllowed;
long[] isbnNumbers = new long[MAX_BOOKS_ALLOWED];
My goal is to set the size of isbnNumbers[] to the value of MAX_BOOKS_ALLOWED. I've tried a couple of different ways to initialize the array (the latest listed above) but the compiler doesn't like what I have done. Thanks again.

.class expected error when compiling

Ive been getting this frustrating error when compiling. My program is essentially supposed to add the values in two matrixes and return a new matrix using the added values
Heres my code:
   public Matrix add(Matrix comp)
        int[][] temp = new int[this.numRows()][this.numCols()];
        for (int a = 0; a < comp.numRows(); a++) {
            for (int b = 0; b < comp.numCols(); b++) {
                temp[a] = this.myCells[a][b] + comp.getVal(a, b);
Matrix addedMatrix = new Matrix(temp[][]);
return addedMatrix;
heres the constructor for Matrix object:
public Matrix(int[][] mat)
        int[][] myCells = new int[mat.length][mat[0].length];
        for (int i = 0; i < mat.length; i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j < mat[0].length; j++) {
                myCells[i][j] = mat[i][j];
    }getVal, numRows, and numCols are all helper methods that just return values.
The error is '.class' expected in the line which says Matrix addedMatrix = new Matrix(temp[][]); I checked for extra brackets but there dont seem to be any.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I think you just needMatrix addedMatrix = new Matrix(temp);

That code isn't where your error is. Here's the errors I get compiling your code:

4 errorsThe last two errors are on your import statements, which can't be in the middle of a source file. The first two are on this line:
textArea.append("/nTotal value of Inventory "new java.text.DecimalFormat("$0.00").format(total)"\n\n");Which certainly isn't a legal line of Java code. If you want to connect multiple Strings you need to use the "+" operator.

Hello, I am writing a GUI with a "join file" feature.
So far, I load my files (multiple files enabled):
private void loadFile()
             JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
              fc.setMultiSelectionEnabled(true);
            int returnVal = fc.showOpenDialog(MyFrame.this);
               if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
                   File[] files = fc.getSelectedFiles();
       }I join them by adding them into a vector (not sure if there's a better way?):
public void joinFiles(File[] files)
               Vector v = new Vector();
               for (int i = 0; i<files.length; i++)
                   String fileName = new String(files.toString());
               String line;
                    try
                         BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileName));
                         if ( !in.ready() ) throw new IOException();
                              while ( (line = in.readLine() ) != null)
               v.add(line);
                    in.close();
                    catch (IOException e)
                    System.out.println(e);
Then, as I have a GUI, I have menu item actions set up as follows:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
          if(e.getSource() == load){
               loadFile();
          if(e.getSource() == join){
               joinFiles(File[] files);
          }This generates the error:

^
fileManipulator.java:93: ')' expected

^
fileManipulator.java:93: unexpected type

you have too many }-brackets, the finalin.close();
clientSocket.close();
serverSocket.close();
}is not inside any class

When calling method error .class expected

First the method I'm calling.
public void ExeSqlStmt(String sqlStmt, String columnNames[], String connectString, String userName, String password,int numColumns)
This compiles clean. The code that calls the method is giving me fits with expecting .class, expecting ), can not resolve symble and unexpected type.
The offending line is near the bottom of the code.
Thanks,

2009 MacBook Pro eh? It looks like your hard drive has failed. Three years is pretty standard. Often, then only hint you have is catastrophic failure.
If you put the old hard drive into an external enclosure or similar device, you may still be able to migrate your data from it. Just because it won't boot doesn't mean you can't still read from it. Still, I wouldn't keep trying it. As long as you are buying a new hard drive, may as well get sometime to use with Time Machine too.

Because that won't fix the multitude of problems you have that I listed...Because to be honest with you ping it's pretty annoying that I took the time to look at your code in depth, which Bill
did not do, and list all the problems you have there and you just want to pretend that adding a return type to a
method signature in the middle of another method fixes this problem. Certainly a missing return type is a problem in
a method signature, but when the "method" in question is in the midst of another method and uses variables local
to the other method, never mind a slew of other variables that are never declared anywhere... well it's not really the
only problem and certainly fixing it did not make you "get" it. Whatever "it" may be.
What a waste of time it was helping you. I won't make that mistake again to be sure.Yes you did do more work than I. But I answered his direct and immediate question. I had no intention of stopping there if and when the pgm still did not work. I answered the immediate question, then others went on to add greater depth. It's always a disappointment when one does not seem to receive due credit - and we've all been there. Thats partly why I tried to bring the OP's attention back to my post as well, because it seemed that's what was occurring there too.
But I also see that many times folks get stuck on a point they are trying to solve and become frustrated to the point of distraction at times - so I think it's best to cut them some slack.
There has been a real rash of posters that don't come through either with dukes, thanks or even acknowledgments lately ... I hope this OP will not be one of them - I don't see that that is the case thus far.

Java '.class' expected, simple but im not seeing it

I'm working on a project right now and need to list 3 parellel arrays. This is what my compiler error looks like.
'.class' expected ')' expected
It's really bugging be, so here are the two methods.
This is the code that my info is being sent to. This method is in a class named ListPets
public void listPets(String[] name, double[] price, int[] quanity)
          for(int i = 0; i<name.length; i++)
               output+="\n"+name[i]+"       "+price[i]+"          "+quanity;
this is what is being sent to it
This code is in a class called MainGui
I also have this little bit at the top.
ListPets panList = new ListPets();
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
     panList.listPets(petname[], petprice[], petquanity[]);
}I feel like im over looking somthing, but i cant find it. Any help on this would be nice, thanks,

panList.listPets(petname[], petprice[] , petquanity[]);You are trying to call a method in the line of code above. So you should only include the variable names, like thispanList.listPets(petname, petprice, petquanity);Some feedback on your design: It looks like you have (at least) 3 arrays whose contents relate to each other. That is, petname[2] is a pet type's name, petprice[2] is the same pet type's price and petquantity[2] is the same pet type's quantity. In Java, you should not use "parallel arrays" to associate the contents of arrays. Instead, you should have a class - that's the whole idea of object oriented programming.

[Test(expects="Error")] not functioning as expected

When testing against implementation code which is expected to throw an exception the test fails even when the expected exception is thrown.
I broke this test down into a very simple example to help illustrate the issue:
public class ExpectsExampleTest
    [Test(expects="Error")]
    public function testExpects():void
        throw new Error();
The above code result in the following error:
6/11/2009 23:23:39.519 [WARN] FlexUnit4 There was 1 failure:
6/11/2009 23:23:39.522 [WARN] FlexUnit4 1 tests::ExpectsExampleTest.testExpects Error
Not sure if I am missing something or not, however the implementation appears to be correct.
Thanks,
Eric

Eric,
there was a bug surrounding this issue. Latest bits in SVN should have it corrected. There was a difference between the docs and code.
if you get the latest, it will work as is, or, you can change the word expects to expected and it will likely work in yours.
It the new version it accepts either,
Mike
thanks mike, you're right
