Identifier Expected And Illegal Start Of Type Errors
Aug 6, 2014
I'm working through Head First Java, and I'm struggling with the chapter 6 magnet exercise on page 161. I've checked my answer countless times, and it appears to match the book's code, but when I try to run it on my computer I'm getting an error. It says:
error: <identifier> expected
System.out.println^(" "); and
error: illegal start of type
System.out.println(^" ");, both for line 32.
I cannot seem to figure out what is different about my code!!
import java.util.*;
public class ArrayListMagnet {
public static void main (String [] args) {
ArrayList<String> a = new ArrayList<String>();
a.add (0, "zero");
a.add(1, "one");
a.add(2, "two");
a.add(3, "three");
[Code] .....
Also, I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the above errors, but I'm getting a third error message for line 34 saying:
When do you get the error <identifier> expected? I've written a small application where input is accepted by a textfield and based on some condition a dialog should be displayed saying "invalid i/p". But am not able to correct ths particular error ....
I created a superclass Ships and under that a class CivilShips. Under that HumanBulkFreighter.
I declared variables in Ships and CivilShips and wanted to have them set in HBF to a specific value. When I know try to compile them I get the following:
I am getting the error "Line 54, illegal start of expression". Line 54 is where my "for" starts. It was running ok earlier, now I can't get this error to go away?
Lines 7 , 10 ,13 .... All have a Illegal Start of Expression error.
[color=blue]private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) { Random rd = new Random(); int random = 0; random=rd.nextInt(6)+1; switch(random){
why the complier is giving the following error message "illegal start of expression" once it reach the countSpaces method.The way I see it (and I am obviously seeing it wrong), the code is public since why not, int since it returns an int # and the method has return int in it, and static I am not too sure but I get the same error message whether or not it is included
public static void main (String args[]) { Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in); String sentence; System.out.println("type a sentence"); sentence = in.nextLine(); countSpaces (sentence);
Why does this not work? I get an ']' expected at the y in the fourth line of code and an illegal start of an expression at the actual ] in the same line
int y = 0; JTextField response[] = new JTextField[10]; while(y < 10) { JTextField response[y] = new JTextField(7); add(response[y]); response[y].addItemListener(this); ++y; }
Here is my program and results and I am having a error on line 38 which is "public static long fib01(long paramLong)" The program does give me my results but I am trying to correct there error.
public static void main(String[] args) { { System.out.print("
" + String.format("%-10s", new Object[] { "Index" })); System.out.print(String.format("%-15s", new Object[] { "Fibonacci01" })); System.out.print(String.format("%-15s", new Object[] { "Fibonacci02" })); System.out.println(String.format("%-15s", new Object[] { "Fibonacci01" }));
I'm working on a program and can't seem to fix my for loop error.I get an error at the for loop line saying illegal start of expression and i don't know how to fix it:
/* * To change this license header, choose License Headers in Project Properties. * To change this template file, choose Tools | Templates * and open the template in the editor. */
I need to know why this program is giving me error (illegal start of expression). What must i do to stop the error?
//Read a character from keyboard class Kbin{ public static void main(String[]args){ throws java.io.IOException{ char ch;
System.out.print( " Press a key followed by ENTER: "); ch = (char) System.in.read();//read character from keyboard System.out.println( "Your key is: " + ch); } } }
public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner Keyboard = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.print("Please enter your name."); String name = Keyboard.next(); name = "name";
I'm attempting to create a program that employs a method to count the number of 7s a user puts as an input into the program. I'm just getting started, but I'm getting an error when I try to implement a main method that says "Illegal start of expression"
What adjustments could I make to eliminate this error message?
// Add a main method here. public static void main(String[] args) { //Error occurs here public static int countSevens(int n) { // 0. Clean-up. Get rid of any minus signs as that is not a digit. n = Math.abs(n);
I am trying to make a generic method that will replace the data type T with those number types usable with a Scanner object. However, whenever I try to compile, I get errors saying that a Byte/Integer/Double etc are found when only a type T is allowed. This is the beginning of my method. I can;t understand what is wrong with it.
Java Code:
public <T extends Number> T nextRanged(T lowerBound, T upperBound, boolean inclusive, String errorMessage){ // Holds program execution until user inputs a numeric value between the bounds. Prevents all other input without exception. // Output data type determined by the type of the bounds. T input = null; try{ if(input instanceof Byte){ input = new Byte(internalScanner.nextByte());
[Code] ....
The purpose of the method, in the end, will be to provide the nextXXX() functionality of a Scanner object but with built in validation procedures. I could easily do this by making a nextIntRanged(), nextDoubleRanged() etc methods, but this seems wasteful to me.
I meant "incompatible type errors"!
Error example:
ValidatedScanner.java:57: error: incompatible types input = new Byte(internalScanner.nextByte()); ^ required: T found: Byte
where T is a type-variable:
T extends Number declared in method <T>nextRanged(T,T,boolean,String)
I am trying to get it to print out an error if F or C isn't entered for the temperature type, but the code I am taking from one of my other similar programs isn't working for some reason.
Also, when I type a string in the temperature I get an exception....I can do the same with that as I would the temp type? I think I may just be putting the code in the wrong spot and thats why it isn't working..
public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.print("Please enter F for Fahrenheit or C for Celsius: "); String fOrC = input.next();
I am following this article [URL] .... till now I have made some code
This is my Interface
public interface Comparable<T> { public int compareTo(T o); }
And this is my class where I am using Bound Type Parameter on Generic Methods
public class GenericMethodBoundType { public static <T extends Comparable<T>> int countGreaterThan(T[] anArray, T elem) { int count = 0; for (T e : anArray)
[Code] .....
What else I need to do both in main method and at what parameterized types I need to pass at the class?
I've created a constructor in bean and put an value to my string after doing so all started to work properly. I am trying to get my application to work but no luck so far. I have looked for similar issues but although there were similar I've got no luck in fixing mine.
When I am trying to put an value in the input file i got error message (/zadanie_1.xhtml @15,75 value="#{z_1.lancuch}": Target Unreachable, identifier 'z_1' resolved to null).
