I've been working on a homework assignment for a while now for my class, and right now I'm stuck on what should be a very simple problem. I have two files, EmployeeSystem.java and FullTimeEmployee.java. EmployeeSystem is the main, and is the file currently failing to compile. Basically in the method loadData() the setZip method is not working because it says 'cannot find symbol' on that particular value. I have looked and looked over FullTimeEmployee and this trying to find out what I am doing wrong, to no avail. Originally zip was an int but I changed it to a string for what I thought was more logical functionality, and to see if that would help it work.
Does anyone see why this would be failing compile?
