What am i doing wrong here?
« on: September 16, 2011, 06:27:05 pm »
Ive tried compiling a program on 2 different computers using this code:
Code: (java) [Select]
button1.setBounds(5, 5, 100, 60);
button2.setBounds(5, 60, 100, 60);

on one computer it says "symbol not found" on setBounds (ofc i have awt.* and swing.* included)

on the other it says "illegal start of type" on the the first arg, and "<identifier> expected" after setBounds

???

Also, when i try to define an array, it keeps telling me that i need 2 closing brackets and that i need a semicolon inside the brackets...
???

It would help to see more of the code, like where you declared the buttons, and where you are trying to create the arrays.  What type of object are the buttons?

Code: (moar java) [Select]
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

class herp extends JFrame {

JButton button1 = new JButton("Derp");
JButton button2 = new JButton("Lolwut");
button1.setBounds(5, 5, 100, 60);
button2.setBounds(5, 60, 100, 60);

public herp() {
super("Window");
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
add(button1);
add(button2);
pack();
}
}

class window {
public static void main(String[] args) {
herp hai = new herp();
hai.setVisible(true);
}
}

And the arrays are in here:
Code: (arrayzz) [Select]
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

class map extends JPanel {
int mapMatrix[][] = new int[15][10];


String tiles[] = new String[2];


map() {
this.setBounds(0, 25, 960, 640);
for(int x = 0; x < 15; x++) {
for(int y = 0; y < 10; y++) {
ImageIcon tile = new ImageIcon(tiles[mapMatrix[x][y]]);
tile.setBounds(((x + 1) * 64), ((y + 1) * 64), 64, 64);
this.add(tile);
tile.setVisible(true);
this.setVisible(true);
}
}
}
}

There may be other errors but im concerned with why javac is telling me to put extra closing brackets and stuff.

EDIT: i just compiled that second one on this computer and its giving me different errors. using the same version of jdk...

Maybe im just dreaming...nothing is making any kind of sense.

The syntax for an array is int[] array = new int[5], not int array[] = new int[5]. 

The second issue is that you cannot do commands outside of a method, so you will need to move the two button.setBounds into the constructor or wherever you want them

Ah, ive seen arrays defined both ways before. I guess i was reading in the wrong places  :D

I think my computer at school is just messed up as this computer doesnt give me any of those errors...
I had like 57 errors on a tiny program, on this computer it only gave me 4...

Thanks, though!

No problem!  You might have been seeing some C++ code, as I think thats how they define arrays o.O

Another issue: The second one says "cannot find symbol" on setBounds, add, and setVisible. All are within a method.

Your calling those methods on the 'tile' object, which is an ImageIcon, and doesn't have those methods. In the compiler error...
Code: [Select]
map.java:19: cannot find symbol
symbol  : method setVisible(boolean)
location: class javax.swing.ImageIcon
                                tile.setVisible(true);
... where it says 'location', that is what tells you that it is failing to find 'setVisible' in the 'javax.swing.ImageIcon' class. You also cannot add an ImageIcon directly to a JPanel.

A third thing, it's convention to start class names with a capital letter. Notice this is the case with 'JPanel' and 'ImageIcon', so I heavily advise you call your class 'Map' rather then 'map'.
