It keeps highlighting the line "super(r);" I can't find whats wrong with it.... The Error says: 1 error found:
File: C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\My Documents\Anna - java\Disk.java [line: 14]
Error: C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\My Documents\Anna - java\Disk.java:14: cannot find symbol
symbol : constructor Circle(double)
location: class Circle

The contructor code is:

/** 
 * Disk class.
 */ 
public class Disk extends Circle { 
  private double thickness;
  
  /** 
   * constructor
   * pre: none
   * post: A disk object has been created with radius r 
   * and thickness t.
   */ 
  public Disk(double r, double t) { 
    super(r);
    thickness = t; 
  } 
  
  
  /**
   * Changes the thickness of the disk
   * pre: none
   * post: thickness has been changed. 
   */ 
  public void setThickness(double newThickness) { 
    thickness = newThickness;
  } 
  
  /** 
   * Returns the thickness of the disk
   * pre: none 
   * post: The thickness of the disk has been returned.
   */ 
  public double getThickness() { 
    return(thickness);
  } 
  
  
  /** 
   * Returns the volumn of the disk.
   * pre: none
   * post: The volumn of the disk has been returned.
   */ 
  public double volumn() { 
    double v; 
    
    v = super.area() * thickness;
    return(v);
  } 
  
  
  /** 
   * Determine if the object is equal to another
   * Disk object.
   * pre: d is a Disk object
   * post: true has been returned if objects have the same
   * readil and thickness. false has been returned otherwise.
   */ 
  public boolean equals(Object d) { 
    Disk testObj = (Disk)d; 
    
    if (testObj.getRadius() == super.getRadius() 
        && testObj.getThickness() == thickness) {
      return(true);
    } else {
      return(false);
    }
  } 
  
  
  /**
   * Returns a Sring that represents the disk object.
   * pre: none
   * post: A string representing the Disk object has 
   * been returned.
   */ 
  public String toString() { 
    String diskString;
    
    diskString = "The disk has radius " + super.getRadius() 
                  + " and thickness " + thickness + "."; 
    return(diskString); 
  } 
}

The actual code is:

public class TestDisk { 
  
  public static void main(String[] args) { 
    Disk saucer = new Disk(10, 0.02); 
    
    System.out.println("Disk radius: " + saucer.getRadius()); 
    System.out.println("Disk surface area: " + saucer.area()); 
    System.out.println("Disk volumn: " + saucer.volumn()); 
    
    Disk plate1 = new Disk(12, 0.05); 
    Disk plate2 = new Disk(12, 0.07); 
    if (plate1.equals(plate2)) {   
      System.out.println("Objects are equal "); 
    } else { 
      System.out.println("Objects are not equal "); 
    } 
    System.out.println(plate1); 
    System.out.println(plate2); 
  }
}

It is telling you that the Circle class does not have a constructor defined that takes a double parameter.

oh.. How do i fix it?
I copied this example from the textbook.... so im not sure how to fix it.

Well, I guess you would have to either write a constructor that takes the radius as a parameter for your Circle class or use the Circle default constructor and set the radius through your method.
