Compiler unable to find symbol...

[John Pisci]

Hi again!

I'm trying to compile the following code and I keep getting the same 4 errors, regardless of how I try to create the object. I've tried "Cat c = new Cat();" and similar for the tortoise.
I've also tried, in the Cat/Tortiose classes, to have the 'System.out.println' showing what they are currently returning.

These are all in different files, in a 'pets' folder.

Very confused!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

The error:

    
L:\My Projects\MyJavaApps\Pets>javac TestAPet.java
TestAPet.java:7: cannot find symbol

    Pet pet1 = new Cat();

//package Scratch.Pets;

   abstract String Walk ();  
 }

 {  
   String Walk()  
   {  
       return "Cat";  
   }  
 }

   String Walk()  
   {  
	   return "Tortoise";    
   }  
 }  
  
 public class TestAPet

   public static void main (String[] args)  
   {  
     Pet pet1 = new Cat();  
     Pet pet2 = new Tortoise();  
       
     System.out.println (pet1.Walk());  
     System.out.println (pet2.Walk());  
   }  
 } 

Try this.

Aaaarrrrrrhhhhhh!

I'd typed 'Return' instead of 'return'.
I'd spent the best part of an hour trying to figure out what I was doing wrong!
Was going through my notes/ books for ages!

D'oh!

Thanks Ryan!

We have all done that sort of thing. The tiniest spelling error . . .
