Hi Guys,
I get the following error when I compile my code:

Below is the error when I compile

symbol : constructor Course(java.lang.String)
location: class Course
Course hoursperweek1 = new Course("21");
C:\Course\src\CourseTest.java:18: cannot find symbol
symbol : constructor Course(java.lang.String)
location: class Course
Course duration1 = new Course("1 Year");
6 errors
BUILD FAILED (total time: 1 second)

It would be very useful for us if you post your code, also please use code tag while posting it.

According to your error i can assume following possibilities..

A) you did not defined constructor of a class which takes String as a argument.

B) you defined one method which has same name as a class but do not follow signature of constructor. It should be like as follows

Code:

public Course(String args)
{
}

Is there a reason you are answering posts that are many months old??

I doubt seriously that the original posters are going to come back and see your answers.

(I also think the original poster in this case was in a lot deeper trouble than you suggest.)

Any way the orginal poster will get a email regarding this update.

Not unless he subscribes to post responses. I don't. I don't get emails about responses to my posts.

I don't remember what the default is in this forum. I know on most the default is no subscription. But maybe in this forum the default is "subscribe."
