A mystery...

[Dawn Allestad]

This will be my last question... well I hope it will be! I have a two programs, Tax and TaxReturn. When pulling them off my desktop and into JGrasp the programs compile and work perfectly. I then moved them into my JGrasp bin. Now they no longer compile telling me it has a problem with "ConsoleReader". When placing the programs on a floppy, and opening them in JGrasp from my A drive, I get the same message about the "ConsoleReader". What in tarnation is happening?

Here's the programs and the error message I keep getting:

import java.io.*;
 
public class Tax 
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    ConsoleReader console = new ConsoleReader(System.in);
    
    System.out.println("Please enter your income:");
    double income = console.readDouble();
    System.out.println("Please enter S for single, M for married:");
    String status = console.readLine();
    TaxReturn aTaxReturn = new TaxReturn(income, status);
    System.out.println("The tax is " + aTaxReturn.getTax());
  }
}
 
class TaxReturn 
{
  public TaxReturn(double anIncome, String aStatus) 
  {
    income = anIncome;
    status = aStatus;
  }
  
  public double getTax() 
  {
    double tax = 0;
    
    final double RATE1 = 0.15;
    final double RATE2 = 0.28;
    final double RATE3 = 0.31;
    final double SINGLE_CUTOFF1 = 21450;
    final double SINGLE_CUTOFF2 = 51900;
    final double SINGLE_BASE2 = 3217.50;
    final double SINGLE_BASE3 = 11743.50;
    final double MARRIED_CUTOFF1 = 35800;
    final double MARRIED_CUTOFF2 = 86500;
    final double MARRIED_BASE2 = 5370;
    final double MARRIED_BASE3 = 19566;
    
    if (status.equalsIgnoreCase("S")) 
    {
      if (income <= SINGLE_CUTOFF1)
        tax = RATE1 * income;
      else if (income <= SINGLE_CUTOFF2)
        tax = SINGLE_BASE2 + RATE2 * (income - SINGLE_CUTOFF1);
      else
        tax = SINGLE_BASE3 + RATE3 * (income - SINGLE_CUTOFF2);
    }
    else 
    {
      if (income <= MARRIED_CUTOFF1)
        tax = RATE1 * income;
      else if (income <= MARRIED_CUTOFF2)
        tax = MARRIED_BASE2 + RATE2 * (income - MARRIED_CUTOFF1);
      else
        tax = MARRIED_BASE3 + RATE3 * (income - MARRIED_CUTOFF2);
    }
    
    return tax;
  }
  
  private double income;
  private String status;
}

Here's the error message:
symbol : class ConsoleReader
location: class Tax
{ ConsoleReader console = new ConsoleReader (System.in);

symbol : class ConsoleReader
location: class Tax
{ ConsoleReader console = new ConsoleReader (System.in);
I bolded where it is the pointer is pointed at and it says it cannot resolve symbol.

What is JGrasp?
Where is ConsoleReader?
The problem is that the Java compiler cannot find the ConsoleReader class. It needs to be locatable through the CLASSPATH setting. So, you may need to find ConsoleReader and anything that it uses, and add them to your CLASSPATH when compiling and running this application.

Yep... I got it to work! I just had to stop and think about it!
JGrasp is the compiler, builder thingy I use! LOL
