Hello, I am having some trouble compiling my code for the inventory program part 2, if someone could take a look and help me out I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

I am required to implement an array to store, monitor, and retrieve data for camera inventory.

   private double UnitPrice;// class variable stores unit price

Where are the constructors for the Camera class that match how you are trying to use it?
new Camera("Sony", 10, 44, 200.0);

What don't you understand about this error: cannot find symbol
The compile can NOT find a definition for the variable listed in the error messages.
You need to provide a definition for the variable.

Hello NormR1, ok I need to implement constructors for the items information, do i do this in the Inventory class?

Hello, I made some changes, but I am a still confused on how implement the data to where the data matches in order to output the stored data.

Can you give me a brief example on how I would go about matching the data for both classes? Thanks.

... how I would go about matching the data for both classes?

Can you explain what you mean?

Have you fixed the errors that were pointed out in my previous post?

Get those fixed first before moving to other things.

First of all, take the main method out of your Camera class. It should only be in the main class.

Second of all, this is how you write constructors:

public Camera() - initialize with: new Camera()
public Camera(int i) - initialize with: new Camera(5)
public Camera(String s, int i) - initalize with: new Camera("Name", 5)

So write a constructor that matches how you're instantiating it (or vice versa: instantiate according to your constructor).

Hello coil, erase the main method out of my Camera class? Also I input the constructors into my inventory class?

Do that and then compile the program and correct the errors etc.

Hello Norm, like so:

Also, which class to I input these constructors

public Camera() - initialize with: new Camera()
public Camera(int i) - initialize with: new Camera(5)
public Camera(String s, int i) - initalize with: new Camera("Name", 5)

in the Inventory class or Camera class?

import java.sql.Array;

public class Camera {

    //main method begin execution of java application
    {

        //create product array for camera

        Camera[] products = new Camera[5];

        // camera inventory

        Camera a1 = new Camera("Sony", 10, 44, 200.0);
        Camera a2 = new Camera("Toshiba", 10, 43, 150.0);
        Camera a3 = new Camera("Phillips", 10, 45, 250.0);

        products[1] = a1;
        products[2] = a2;
        products[3] = a3;

        double UnitPrice = 0.0;

        for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
        }

        // Display Inventory total value

        System.out.printf("Total value of entire Inventory is:$%.2f", value);

        System.out.println();

        Array.sort(products);

        for (Camera s : products) {

            System.out.println(s);

            System.out.println();



        }

    }// end main method

    public Camera() {
    }
}// end class InventoryPart2

The name of the constructor matches the name of the class.

Just so you know, those were examples. You should write your own constructor to match your needs.

Ok here we go I restarted my code over.

I got my Camera class to compile and my InventoryProgram class to compile. I am just experiencing 3 errors in my Inventory class.

Here are the 3 errors:

You are assigning stuff to non-existent objects.

For example: this.ItemName
What's ItemName? You don't declare it in your class. It should be Name=ItemName; .

Hello coil, thanks I made some changes, when I try to compile the program using the cd, it says "InventoryProgram.java:6 class Inventory is public, should be declared in a file name Inventory.java

You need to get rid of the public static void main in the Inventory class.

I think, before you do anything else, you really need to clean up your code. For example, I'm not sure why your Camera class is compiling at all. You should get rid of your previous constructor in Camera (the one you had that triggered errors) because it's wrong. You're missing the "public" keyword, and your indenting is somewhat random.

Doing this will reduce repetitive errors down the road, help you code better, and make your code more readable.
