help, i am a newbie

Oct 10th, 2009

I am trying to write a program that will give me the volume of a cylinder when I run it. I already have a Circle class that computes the area of a circle. I am also using a seperate program to handle the input and output. Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong with my program?

 Help with Code Tags 
 Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
public class Cylinder
{
// calls up and creates an object from the Circle class
 
Private Circle base;
Private double Height;
 
//Constructor
Public Cylinder(double h, double r)
{
// creates object from cirle class
Circle base = new circle(r);
height = h;
}
public double getVolume()
{
return CircleBase.area * height;
}
}
public class Cylinder
{
// calls up and creates an object from the Circle class

Private Circle base;
Private double Height;

//Constructor
Public Cylinder(double h, double r)
{
// creates object from cirle class
Circle base = new circle(r);
height = h;
}
public double getVolume()
{
return CircleBase.area * height;
}
}

What are you having a problem with? You told us what your program is supposed to do, and that its not working, but you never told us exactly what part isn't working.

looking at your code... did you copy and paste that? if yes then, you need to ensure that "public" and "private" modifiers are in lowercase.

Private and Public should be changed to private and public. They are supposed to be lowercase - I think it will give you a compiler error otherwise.

Out.

Oh, sorry man. Didn't mean to step on your toes, I don't know why I didn't read that part of your response or didn't register it or something.

Edit: Also, I don't know why somebody would down vote my post. I am a regular poster here and I never 'repeat responses' or anything like that - I don't even respond if I have nothing to contribute - this was obviously an accident.

Thanks you guys. I fixed the cases, but I still get the "reached end while parsing error.

One thing I should note is that when I do get that error I also get

Public class cylinder>
^

directly underneath it
