Hi,

I'm terribly new at java, i created a program for a poster availability system and there are 8 errors that I have no idea how to resolve. The program is meant only to run at the command prompt.

The errors are:

C:\Project\Enrol.java:46: cannot find symbol

if(data.getID()!=0)
       ^

Hi ,

You don't have the reported methods(getID(),getAge(), setAge(int),setID(int)) definitions in Record Class.

C:\Project\Enrol.java:134: cannot find symbol
symbol : constructor Record(java.lang.String,int,int)
location: class Record
database=new Record(name,age,ID)

and also you should have Three argument constructor with appropriate types in your Record Class.

Hi,

Thank you very much for your reply!
