Hi,

In chapter 7 the first example worked well. When I entered the code for the TechnicalBook-class and ChildrenBook-class (p. 151 - 152), the compiler returned an error in the line "public class TechnicalBook extends Book {", with an arrow under the "B" of "Book".

The code I entered is :
"package com.wrox.library;

public class TechnicalBook extends Book {

  private String skillLevel;"...
The class "Book" compiled well.

What can be wrong ?

To be of help we will need details of the error message that was generated by the compiler. However, if I was a betting man I'd say that it was probably a class path problem and that the compiler couldn't find the Book class.

Cheers

Martyn

Yashraj,

The addition of "-classpath <path>" to the javac-command did the job. Thank you for your support.
