// need to join these supplier to food at some point

	}
}

but for some reason on the Product part, it says that it can't resolve the "n" on the keyword new when i go to compile it, any ideas, and i think that i have got all of the capitals sorted out this time

please help

[zmerlinz]

After lots of buggering about, i managed to get some of it to work, though i would still appreciate a little explanation as to why i got that error,

but i feel that my best trick so far is that i managed to use the int thing to display a value like this

30.0

i know that it is a whole number but i didn't think that integers used decimal places

[BS]

Post the code for Supplier and Product and I will try to help you

[zmerlinz]

ok then cheers, here is the code for the Supplier

public class Supplier {

    public String name; // the name of the supplier
    public String address; // the address of the supplier
    public long phone; //the phone number of the supplier
    public long fax; //the fax number of the supplier
	/**
    *this is the constructor method
    *@param String name, this is the name of the supplier, and it is a text string
    *@param String address, this is the address of the supplier of the product, and it is a text string
    *@param long phone, this is the phone number of the supplier, it is a integer
    *@param long fax, this is the fax number of the supplier, is it an integer
	*/
    public Supplier(String getName, String getAddress, long getPhone, long getFax)
    /**
    *setting the instance variables
    */
	{
        name = getName;
        address = getAddress;
        phone = getPhone;
        fax = getFax;
    }

    public String getTheName()
    {
        return name;
    }

    public String getTheAddress()
    {
        return address;
    }

    public long getThePhone()
    {
        return phone;
    }

    public long getTheFax()
    {
        return fax;
    }
}

[zmerlinz]

and here is the code for the product

public class Product
{

	public String nameItem;	// Name of the item
	public int cost;		// Cost of item
	public String unitSale;	// Unit of sale for the item - ie - per pound, per bag etc...
	//public String suppRef;	// Reference to the Supplier

	/**
        * This is the constructor method for this class...
        **/

	public Product (String nameOfItem, int costOfItem, String unitOfSale) //	String supplierReference
	{
		nameItem = nameOfItem;
		cost = costOfItem;
		unitSale = unitOfSale;
		//suppRef = supplierReference;
	}


// Begin actual methods...


		// This method provides information about the Name of the Item...
	public String itemName()
	{
		return nameItem;
	}


		// This method provides information about the Cost of an Item...
	public int theCost()
	{
		return cost;
	}


		// This method provides information about the Unit Of Sale for an Item...
	public String theUnitSale()
	{
		return unitSale;
	}


		// This method provides information about the Supplier...
	//public String theSupplierReference()
        //{
		//return suppRef;
	//}

}

thank you for your time and help with this matter

[BS]

In the product you have to change the cost to a double:
and you have to call it as a double
"Product Prod1 = new Product ("Carrots", 1.2, "Each");"
cost vithout the " "

[zmerlinz]

as strange as it sounds i did originally have them set to doubles and there also were no quotes and it still went a little pear shapped, so any other ideas ??

[BS]

What is the error, it works fine by me

[zmerlinz]

The error that i am getting is on the Product part, it says that it can't resolve the "n" on the keyword new when i go to compile it, and i think that i have got all of the capitals sorted out this time

[BS]

Before I make changes to the Product class, I got the same Error, but now it works fine by me.

public class Product
{

public String nameItem; // Name of the item
public double cost; // Cost of item
public String unitSale; // Unit of sale for the item - ie - per pound, per bag etc...
//public String suppRef; // Reference to the Supplier

/**
* This is the constructor method for this class...
**/

public Product (String nameOfItem, double costOfItem, String unitOfSale) // String supplierReference
{
nameItem = nameOfItem;
cost = costOfItem;
unitSale = unitOfSale;
//suppRef = supplierReference;
}


// Begin actual methods...


// This method provides information about the Name of the Item...
public String itemName()
{
return nameItem;
}


// This method provides information about the Cost of an Item...
public double theCost()
{
return cost;
}


// This method provides information about the Unit Of Sale for an Item...
public String theUnitSale()
{
return unitSale;
}


// This method provides information about the Supplier...
//public String theSupplierReference()
//{
//return suppRef;
//}

}

[zmerlinz]

so all you did was change the value back to double, and took the quotes off and it works now ???


very strange

thanks i will try it again then

[zmerlinz]

yeah it works now, not sure why it didn't to start with, perhaps you have some sort of magic touch

just one more question, it doesn't display the £ sign instead i get ú

but i thought that if i did this

System.out.println("The product is £ ");

it would work but it doesn't

how do i implement the char keyword in it ??

sorry about all of the questions it is just that i have only been learning java for two weeks

thanks again

[BS]

It must be something with your carakterset in the OS
I am running Windows 2000 Prof UK version and it works with DK and UK keyboard setting
(i got the £)

[BS]
