Hi, I'm completely brand new to Java, and have been learning from the books.
In one of the book exercises, I was supposed to copy and paste two scripts (VolcanoApplication.java & VolcanoRobot.java) and compile VolcanoApplication.java so I could run the program. Unfortunately, whenever try to compile VolcanoApplication.java in Cmd (Javac C:\ etc.), no class file is created and I get this error message:
I copied the code
exactly from the book:
VolcanoApplication.java:
Code:
class VolcanoApplication {
public static void main(String[] arguments) {
VolcanoRobot dante = new VolcanoRobot();
dante.status = “exploring”;
dante.speed = 2;
dante.temperature = 510;
dante.showAttributes();
System.out.println(“Increasing speed to 3.”);
dante.speed = 3;
dante.showAttributes();
System.out.println(“Changing temperature to 670.”);
dante.temperature = 670;
dante.showAttributes();
System.out.println(“Checking the temperature.”);
dante.checkTemperature();
dante.showAttributes();
}
}
VolcanoRobot.java
Code:
class VolcanoRobot {
String status;
int speed;
float temperature;
void checkTemperature() {
if (temperature > 660) {
status = “returning home”;
speed = 5;
}
}
void showAttributes() {
System.out.println(“Status: “ + status);
System.out.println(“Speed: “ + speed);
System.out.println(“Temperature: “ + temperature);
}
}
I'm sure there must be a simple fix for this, but as I'm completely new to Java, I have no idea what to do. Please help!
Thanks
James
