Hello Daniweb,

I have a program due this evening and am ready to give up. I can't figure out my compile problems:

C:\Users\Chris\Desktop\My Java Programs\Chris_Y_Week_5_IA.java:85: call to super must be first statement in constructor
super("mortgagecalcsr7");
     ^
C:\Users\Chris\Desktop\My Java Programs\Chris_Y_Week_5_IA.java:573: inner classes cannot have static declarations
public static void main(String[] args)
                   ^

Use code tags please. It makes your code easier to read.

Your first error is that your constructor, the super() call must be the first line.
The second error is that you have a class inside another class -an inner class- and you have a static variable inside that. You can't do that.

I kinda got that from reading about those errors online, but I'm having problems fixing it because I'm not sure where to put the super line and the class inside the class. My mind is mush at this point, been working on this for a week.
