I would like to thank Ezzaral and peter_budo for helping me bettter understand java. I learned more from you guys in just a short time than I did from my class and instructor.
Thank you very much.

I tried to run this code as written

Correction... I tried to compile the code as written

I got a ".\ActionListener.java: class, interface, or enum expected" for every single line of code.

That makes no sense! I have tried to reveiw the tutorials on ActionListener and its implementation but I'm having trouble connecting the dots.

Is there a significant change from Java 1.4 to the 1.5 and beyond. I think I have JDK suite installed on my CPU.

or is there a gap in the program I just missed or is 'assumed' and just not written in.

Yes there lots of differences between this two versions. However you should speed up as there is Java 1.6 aviable over a year already

I am also doing inventoy program 5 but my issue is that i have an double array.
an honestly i can think of a way to get the info to diplay one at a time because of this. i dont know if i would be better of swiching to a singal array or if i can do a if loop some how.

this is what i have so far if someone could point me in the right way that would be great because im not get much help from my teach.

I know how to do a button for a single array button I so lost Im on my 7th file trying to figure out how to do this with a double array. I know im making this a lot harder then it real is but i think my brain stop working somewhere along the 5 file. well tell me what you guys think if its a lose or if i can use so type of loop. i think an if and a else loop would work or if i would just be better off going with a single array

thanks for the help and if it seems like im asking for code im sorry im not the best at wording this type of stuff.
