I have an assignment that is due tonight and I ran into a few errors. The first two parts compiled successfully just the third one ran into errors. I don't know what went wrong. The errors I am getting are

have you tried by adding the required import statements?

Most of the symbols it can't find are the names of standard API classes, so it looks like you forgot (some of) the import statements at the start of your .java file(s)

Thank you all I figured it out last night. I did remember to add the import statement and it ended up compiling successfully.
