Simple Package Problem.....

[Steve Jensen]

Folks, my wotking directory is C:\java

All my programs are held in sub-directories inside this folder.

For ther code listed below, I created a folder called MyPack, ie

c:\java\MyPack

The code below:-

  
// A simple package
package MyPack;
 
class Balance {
  String name;
  double bal;
 
  Balance(String n, double b) {
    name = n;
    bal = b;
  }
 
  void show() {
    if(bal<0) 
      System.out.print("-->> ");
    System.out.println(name + ": $" + bal);
  }
}
  
class AccountBalance {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    Balance current[] = new Balance[3];
 
    current[0] = new Balance("K. J. Fielding", 123.23);
    current[1] = new Balance("Will Tell", 157.02);
    current[2] = new Balance("Tom Jackson", -12.33);
 
    for(int i=0; i<3; i++) current[i].show();
  }
}
 

Gives me the following error when I compile it:-

AccountBalance.java": Package C:\Java\MyPack\AccountBalance.java stated in source MyPack does not match directory C:\Java\MyPack\AccountBalance.java. at line 2, column 9

Can anybody explain why?

AccountBalance.java is in the directory structire c:\java\MyPack

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

Uh - did you try saying "public class AccountBalance"?

There might be other problems, but that's the first thing I'd try...

You should compile this from the directory C:\Java:

C:\> cd Java
C:\Java> javac MyPack\AccountBalance.java
