:confused: Class Help

[CaptainPinko]

I have a program that looks like:

public class tester
{
public VPixel asdf;
...
}

class VPixel
{
public VPigment r;
public VPigment g;
public VPigment b;
...
}

class VPigment
{
...
}


but it gives me a compile error when i try to use VPixel as a variable in the tester class. Any ideas?

You cannot include more than one class in a file. Otherwise JavaC gets confused and gives an error.

[CaptainPinko]

so how would i reference a class from another file?

Im not too sure about having seperate classes in one file,
but you can have nested classes or classes local to a method block "Local class" within one file.



public class NestedTest{
public static void main(String[] main){
Nest n = new Nest(100,500);
n.z();
}

static class Nest{
static int i;
int x;
Nest(int i, int x){
this.i = i;
this.x = x;
}

// non static variable can access bolth field members
// static void z(){ then you can only access int i.

void z(){
System.out.println(" The value of i is " + i);
System.out.println(" The value of x is " + x);
}
}
}

Classes declared without a package statement fall into the defualt package. Then all you have to do is reference them accordingly. If the package statement is not used you have to reference a class with it's full package name. For instance.

    import java.util.Vector;
         //or 
    import java.util.*;

 public class vectorTest{
      public static void main(String[] args){
       Vector v = new Vector(); 

    // if all of the important statements were excluded you 
   //would have to reference Vector as such.

      java.util.Vector v = new java.util.Vector(); 
    
  }
}

The answer to that is Yes, you can have more than one class in one file, but only 1 public class. I believe that separate .class files are made for each class.

[filburt1]

But you cannot create a private class. So any other scope would work.

Yes your right..... You can have more that one class within a
file. I tend to forget these things. *~sigh
Luckly i have filbert to remind me.

I was just fooling around posting code and VbWorld interpted
the semicolon ) in the code as

//import java.util.*; 
   
public class MyClass{
  public static void main(String[] args){

    java.util.LinkedList ll = new java.util.LinkedList(); 
    String greeting = "Hello my name is";
    String Invitation = "Would you like to goto.....";
    java.util.StringTokenizer st1 = new java.util.StringTokenizer(greeting);
    java.util.StringTokenizer st2 =  new java.util.StringTokenizer(Invitation);

    while(st1.hasMoreTokens()){ // tokenize the String
       System.out.print(st1.nextToken());
        System.out.print('\t');
    }
    System.out.println(); 
       
    // add the tokens to a TreeSet
    while(st2.hasMoreTokens()){
       ll.add(st2.nextToken());
    }  
  
   // iterate through the LinkedList
     for(java.util.Iterator i = ll.iterator();i.hasNext();){
       System.out.print(i.next());
         System.out.print('\t');   
     }
   }
 }

crptcblade is correct.

CaptainPinko,
Your posted code seems fine. How are you trying to "use VPixel as a variable in the tester class"? Can you post the problem code?
