Re: Error help?

Ok, I'm a little confused. I've thought that, but what does 'cannot find
symbol' mean? Does something need to be specified in the object? I'm trying
to modify Small Java Fig. 3.7-3.8
http://www.cs.unt.edu/~irby/Courses/1030/programs/SJch3.html to a class
project and don't see the difference. To me...it should work. Now I get:

Executing: C:\Program Files\ConTEXT\ConExec.exe "C:\Program

Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_07\bin\javac.exe" "GradeBookTest.java"

GradeBookTest.java:29: cannot find symbol

symbol : variable input

location: class GradeBookTest

String name = input.nextLine(); // read a line of text

^

GradeBookTest.java:34: non-static method displayMessage() cannot be
referenced from a static context

GradeBook.displayMessage();

^

2 errors

Execution finished.

Hello all

Can some one tell me why I'm getting this error? I really don't
understand
why it shouldn't work.


GradeBookTest.java:30: ')' expected
gradebook2.setCourseName ( String Name ); // set the course name
^
[...]
String Name = input.nextLine(); // read a line of text
gradebook2.setCourseName ( String Name ); // set the course name

Should be

gradebook2.setCourseName(Name); // set the course name
