I can't understand what's wrong I'm working on a program for school and the code I have so far is:
I don't notice anything wrong with the code but the error message I get is:
C:\Java>javac Assign6.java
Assign6.java:5: cannot find symbol
symbol : class Change
location: class Assign6
Change aSmall = new Change(bill);
^
Assign6.java:5: cannot find symbol
symbol : class Change
location: class Assign6
Change aSmall = new Change(bill);
I can't figure out what the program does not like I seem to have problems like this in some of my other programs where the compiler doesn't recognize reserved words such as " iquote()" Could the problem be the compiler can't find the reserved words much like you have to set the PATH variable? This might all be a stupid question but I'm not all that familiar with Java in the first place.
public class Assign6{
public static void main(String[] args){
int bill = (int) (Double.parseDouble(args[0])*100);
Change aSmall = new Change(bill);
System.out.println("# of Fives: " + aSmall.numOfCoins(500) );
System.out.println("# of Ones: " + aSmall.numOfCoins(100) );
System.out.println("# of Q: " + aSmall.numOfCoins(25) );
System.out.println("# of D: " + aSmall.numOfCoins(10) );
System.out.println("# of N: " + aSmall.numOfCoins(5) );
System.out.println("# of P: " + aSmall.numOfCoins(1) );
}
}I don't notice anything wrong with the code but the error message I get is:
C:\Java>javac Assign6.java
Assign6.java:5: cannot find symbol
symbol : class Change
location: class Assign6
Change aSmall = new Change(bill);
^
Assign6.java:5: cannot find symbol
symbol : class Change
location: class Assign6
Change aSmall = new Change(bill);

This deffenetly is not compiler error. It is the code writter/author error! You telling to your program to use a class called Change but is it implemented somewhere? I do not see it

what's "Change"? That's not a class from the standard libraries, so you need to have it somewhere yourself.
And that's what the compiler is telling you, that you're referring to something it doesn't know about.

If that's your complete program, then you've forgotten to import the class Change, and yes, that class must be found on your classpath, see http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutor...ted/index.html

Re: I can't understand what's wrong What is change????????
your Change class must be in same class Assign6 or if u have define in other class then use package to import that class

you still don't understand? You're only the fourth person presenting the exact same answer. Neither OP nor you seems interested in reading responses.
And you've quite a bad atttitude, cool it down a bit.
