Head First Java (2nd Ed.) p. 139

my simpledotcom game works, but when i make changes to this file, the new improved dotcom class, it will no longer compile- and i only make the changes that the book tells me to change, any ideas? the big change is that it now uses ArrayList. - the code is below

marsooka

    
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class DotCom {
private ArrayList<String> locationCells; 
public void setLocationCells(ArrayList<String> loc) {
locationCells = loc;
}
public String checkYourself(String userInput){
String result = "miss";
int index = locationCells.indexOf(userInput);
if (index >= 0){
locationCells.remove(index);
if(locationCells.isEmpty()) {
result = "kill";
}else{
result="hit";
}
}
return result;
}
}

If you post the compilation error, it would make it easier to help. Please post the exact error, and not just a summary. those error messages MEAN something.
