Hey everybody

Hope you guys have a great weekend. I am trying to implement a Table ADT to show city name, country, and population. I already did most of the work, but for some reason i get a small error in the main method file.the code is below:

//TestTable(main) class
class TestTable {

          public static void displayCity(City c) {
            System.out.println(c.getKey());
          }  // end displayCity

          // Main entry point
          public static void main(String[] args) {
            TableInterface<City, String> chart = new TableBSTBased<City, String>();//this is the line that i get error 
            City c;

            c = new City("Narragansett", "USA", 12000);
            chart.tableInsert(c);
            c = new City("Ocracoke", "USA", 3000);
            chart.tableInsert(c);

      }

}

Sorry if it looks like long, i dont know how else to put the code here.
I get the error in the testTable class. I would apperciate if you guys could help with my problem as soon as possible.

             Thank you

No wonder no one has responded yet to this thread. You have not used code tags while adding your code and have pasted the complete thing, Just looking at the darned thing will most probably chase away anyone and everyone with an intention to help you.
I do not know what is the problem with most of you beginners not using code tags, its as simple as just adding two lines one [ code=java ] before your code and [ /code ] (without the spaces between [(or ]) and code) after it, despite it being mentioned in the community rules and the announcements at the top of the forum.

Also try to reduce the amount of code you post. Just post the relevant parts. Add the exact error messages or example output to show us the problem.

class TestTable {

    public static void displayCity(City c) {
        System.out.println(c.getKey());
    }  // end displayCity

    // Main entry point
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        TableInterface<City, String> chart =
                new TableBSTBased<City, String>();
        City c;
        c = new City("Narragansett", "USA", 12000);
        chart.tableInsert(c);
        c = new City("Ocracoke", "USA", 3000);
        chart.tableInsert(c);

        // If a table iterator class called TableIteratorBST
        // is available for the class TableBSTBased (as created
        // in Programming Problem 2, you can also do the
        // following:
        TableIteratorBST<City> iter = new TableIteratorBST<City>(chart);
        while (iter.hasNext()) {
            displayCity(iter.next());
        } // end while
    } // end main
} // end TestTable

You need implement own TableIteratorBST.java class
For all, who want to help read first http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/compsci105s2c/
You have TreeIterator.java example
