Well this is a lab assignment, the problem I'm having is that the sample code he gave us is suppose to run as is, but it doesn't. I email him and he thought that most likely there might be a problem with the CLASSPATH for java or that I might have messed with the orignal files for the lab due to the fact that no one else has gotten the same issue or complained of the same issue.
Here is the orignal sample code as is:
import java.io.*;
/** Class for a binary tree that stores type E objects.
* @author Koffman and Wolfgang
* */
public class BinaryTree < E >
implements Serializable {
/** Class to encapsulate a tree node. */

/** Reference to the left child. */

/** Reference to the right child. */
protected Node < E > right;
// Constructors
/** Construct a node with given data and no children.
@param data The data to store in this node
*/
public Node(E data) {
this.data = data;
left = null;
right = null;
}
// Methods
/** Return a string representation of the node.
@return A string representation of the data fields
*/
public String toString() {
return data.toString();
}
}
// Data Field
/** The root of the binary tree */
protected Node < E > root;
public BinaryTree() {
root = null;
}
protected BinaryTree(Node < E > root) {
this.root = root;
}
/** Constructs a new binary tree with data in its root,leftTree
as its left subtree and rightTree as its right subtree.
*/
public BinaryTree(E data, BinaryTree < E > leftTree,
BinaryTree < E > rightTree) {
root = new Node < E > (data);
if (leftTree != null) {
root.left = leftTree.root;
}
else {
root.left = null;
}
if (rightTree != null) {
root.right = rightTree.root;
}
else {
root.right = null;
}
}

the left subtree is null
*/
public BinaryTree < E > getLeftSubtree() {
if (root != null && root.left != null) {
return new BinaryTree < E > (root.left);
}
else {
return null;
}
}
/** Return the right sub-tree
@return the right sub-tree or
null if either the root or the
right subtree is null.
*/
public BinaryTree<E> getRightSubtree() {
if (root != null && root.right != null) {
return new BinaryTree<E>(root.right);
} else {
return null;
}
}
/**** BEGIN EXERCISE ****/

}
}
/**** END EXERCISE ****/
/** Determine whether this tree is a leaf.
@return true if the root has no children
*/
public boolean isLeaf() {
return (root.left == null && root.right == null);
}
public String toString() {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
preOrderTraverse(root, 1, sb);
return sb.toString();
}
/** Perform a preorder traversal.
@param node The local root

@param sb The string buffer to save the output
*/
private void preOrderTraverse(Node < E > node, int depth,
StringBuilder sb) {
for (int i = 1; i < depth; i++) {
sb.append(" ");
}
if (node == null) {
sb.append("null\n");
}
else {
sb.append(node.toString());
sb.append("\n");
preOrderTraverse(node.left, depth + 1, sb);
preOrderTraverse(node.right, depth + 1, sb);
}
}
/** Method to read a binary tree.

public static BinaryTree < String >
readBinaryTree(BufferedReader bR) throws IOException {
// Read a line and trim leading and trailing spaces.
String data = bR.readLine().trim();
if (data.equals("null")) {
return null;
}
else {
BinaryTree < String > leftTree = readBinaryTree(bR);
BinaryTree < String > rightTree = readBinaryTree(bR);
return new BinaryTree < String > (data, leftTree, rightTree);
}
}
}
Here is the testfile for it:
import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
/** Program to test the modifications to the BinaryTree class

/** Exercise the changes to the BinaryTree class

String outStr;
String fileName =
JOptionPane.showInputDialog("File name for tree data");
try{
BufferedReader bR = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileName));
BinaryTree < String > myTree = BinaryTree.readBinaryTree(bR);
outStr = myTree.toString();
System.out.println(outStr);
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Preorder Traversal:\n" + outStr);
/* // uncomment this section when you are ready to test your code
outStr = myTree.toStringPost();
System.out.println(outStr);
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Postorder Traversal:\n" + outStr);
*/
}
catch (FileNotFoundException ex){
System.out.println("Bad file name!!");
System.exit(1);
}
catch (java.io.IOException ex) {
System.out.println("Error while reading file!!");
System.exit(1);
}
}
}
Here is the error I'm getting:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: TestBinaryTree
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: TestBinaryTree

Exception in thread "main" >Exit code: 1 Time: 0.317
I understand what the error means but I don't understand why if this is the orignal code and it is suppose to run as and I'm so far the only one that is getting this error.
