HELP!!!Checkpoint Inventory Program 2

[trustno1butme]

Program requirements are as follows:

Modify the Inventory Program so the application can handle multiple items. Use an array to store the items. The output should display the information one product at a time, including the item number, the name of the product, the number of units in stock, the price of each unit, and the value of the inventory of that product. In addition, the output
should display the value of the entire inventory.
• Create a method to calculate the value of the entire inventory.
• Create another method to sort the array items by the name of the product.

I can not understand why I am getting and error in the beginning where it says "Public Static ....." the program comes up with and error that causes the program to terminate.. What am I doing wrong? Can some one please help point me in the direction I need to go....Thank

public class InventoryProgram2

	public static void main(String args []);

In the first line of your main class you have

public static void main(String args []);
{

This should read

public static void main(String[] args){

The main() method takes a String[]. By convention we name it "args".

Ok I fixed that, thank you very much, it compiled sucessfully but now I am getting an eception in the main thread that is causing the program to exit.

it says class not found but there is a class and I have the files that followed after the program compiled. And I am looking at the main thread and I fail to see an error. Can someone please help

How are you compiling the code - using a GUI editor or by terminal/javac?

If you're doing it by hand, you'll need to compile first DVD, then Inventory, and finally InventoryProgram2 (in that order). A decent editor (like NetBeans) will do this automatically.

Before you run the program, make sure the three files:
InventoryProgram2.class
Inventory.class
DVD.class
Are in the directory.

For the beginner, I recommend downloading NetBeans (http://netbeans.org/downloads/index.html) and creating a project. Copy your code into the project and run inside the editor. This will ensure all files are compiled and the class-path is correct. It will also catch simple syntax errors like you made above.

Ok here we go I restarted my code over.

I got my Camera class to compile and my InventoryProgram class to compile. I am just experiencing 3 errors in my Inventory class.

Here are the 3 errors:
