i am doing a group project concerning graph my part is finding the minimal cost the teacher tried to help us out with the group work by putting up code for the parts for use to follow.

i have errors when i compiled the code that the teacher give.
the error is with followPath it said that the method followPath int is not declared with type Graph.
no matter what i did to fix it it did not work so i need help
plus she said it needed modification but it due in another day and since i am still learning java and have not done graph before or dijkstra i need help with the error and the modification.we are suppose to read the cities from afile so please help.

You don't have that function here, so the compiler doesn't know what to call.

that was all that the teacher give, is it that i have to create a function like public int followPath() but what goes inside the function and where exactly would the main go because in other dijkstra's i see the main at the end but those are different from this. thank you

ok i tried to add the function followPath() but i am not sure what is to go inside. and i created the main with the read file so the file could be read but i am getting errors
1. line 108 says illegal start of expression public static followPath() it is pointing to the p in public.
2.the second error is the same as the first but it is pointing to the s in static.
3.the third error say ; expected public static followPath() and is pointing at (.
4. the fourth error is in line 129 which says illegal start of expression public static void main (String[] args) and it is pointing at the p in public.
5.this error is the same as the fourth but it is pointing at the s in static.
6. the sixth error is just like above except it is poing at the space between static and void.
7.the seventh and the eight error is the same it is pointing at the a in args and the closing bracketin that sentence respectively.
