heyy..

i am getting error on line 51 "Stack<Character> stack = new Stack<Character>();"..how can i fix it? please help.

    int stackSize = enter.length();
    Stack theStack = new Stack(stackSize);

    for (int j = 0; j < enter.length(); j++)
    {
      char ch = enter.charAt(j);
      switch (ch) {
      case '{': // opening symbols

        theStack.push(ch); // push them
        break;

Your Stack implementation is not generic i.e. doesn't accept type parameters. Or is it that you are planning on using the Stack implementation provided by the standard library?
