Newbie help needed w/Graphics class!

Question

Hi everyone,
I'm stuck on something I know is very simple to do, but I can't seem to find the right combination. I have a derived class that draws a circle using the graphics class. I'm getting compilation errors when I try to set the color and draw the circle. I have looked thru these forums as well as the API. Below is my code. Any pointers would be highly appreciated!
import java.awt.Graphics;
public class SmartCircle extends SmartShape
SmartCircle(int first, int second, int third, Color c)
super(first, second, third, c);
public void draw(Graphics g)
setColor(Color c);
fillOval(first, second, size, size);
}

Answer 1

Here is SmartShape. It is located in the same directory as SmartCircle, so therefore doesn't need to be imported, correct?
public abstract class SmartShape
//define instance variables
protected int positionX, positionY, size;
protected Color theColor;
public SmartShape()
     //initialize variables
     positionX = 20;
     positionY = 20;
     theColor = Color.white;
public SmartShape(int first, int second, int third, Color c)
     if (first >= 0)
     positionX = first;
     else
     positionX = 0;
     if (second >= 0)
     positionY = second;
     else
     positionY = 0;
     if (third >= 0)
     size = third;
     else
     size = 0;
     theColor = c;
public abstract void draw(Graphics g);
Hope that helps!
