Need help with Java, cannot find symbol class?

[beu curt]

The program is an Address Book. and I cant get rid of the "cannot find symbol class" error, what should I do?

here is the code:

   package Project1;
import java.io.*;


public class AddressBook {
 private int top=0;
 private static final int MAXENTRIES =100;
 private AddressBookEntry[] list;
 
public static void main(String[] args){
    BufferedReader input= new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    AddressBook addBook=new AddressBook();
   String act="";
   

while(true){
 System.out.println("\n [A] Add entry");
 System.out.println("\n [D] Delete entry");
 System.out.println("\n [V] View all entries");
 System.out.println("\n [U] Update  entry");
 System.out.println("\n [Q] Quit");
 System.out.println("Enter desired action");

try{
act=input.readLine();

}catch(Exception e){
  System.out.println("Error");	
}

if(act.equals("A")||act.equals("a"))
	  addBook.addEntry();
else if(act.equals("D")||act.equals("d"))
	  addBook.deleteEntry();
else if(act.equals("V")||act.equals("v"))
	  addBook.viewEntries();
else if(act.equals("U")||act.equals("u"))
	  addBook.updateEntry();
else if(act.equals("Q")||act.equals("q"))
	  System.exit(0);
else
	  System.out.println("Command Unknown");

   }
}



  
public AddressBook(){
list= new AddressBookEntry[MAXENTRIES];
}
public void addEntry() {
BufferedReader input= new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

String name="";
String add="";
int tel=0;
String email="";

if(top>=MAXENTRIES){
	System.out.println("Address Book is full");
	 return;
 }
 
 try{
  System.out.print("Name:        ");
  name=input.readLine();
  System.out.print("Address:        ");
  add=input.readLine();
  System.out.print("Telephone number:        ");
  tel=Integer.parseInt(input.readLine());
  System.out.print("Email:        ");
  email=input.readLine();
  }catch(Exception e){
  System.out.println(e);
  System.exit(0);
 }
 
 AddressBookEntry entry= new AddressBookEntry(name,add,tel,email);
 list[top]=entry;
 top++;
 } 
 
 public void deleteEntry() {
    BufferedReader input= new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    int i=0;
    if(top==0){
        System.out.println("Address Book is empty");
        return;
      }
 
  try{
 	viewEntries();
 	System.out.println("\n Enter entry number: ");
 	i=Integer.parseInt(input.readLine())-1;
  }catch(Exception e){}
 
if(i<0 || i>=top){
  System.out.println("Index out of bounds");
   return;
}else{
  for(int x=i; x<top; i++){
    list[i]=list[i+1];
    }
  list[top]=null;
  top--;
  
 }
}


public void viewEntries(){
for(int i=0; i<top; i++){
   System.out.println((i+1)+"Name: "+list[i].getname());
   System.out.println((i+1)+"Address: "+list[i].getAdd());
   System.out.println((i+1)+"Telephone Number: "+list[i].getTel());
   System.out.println((i+1)+"Email: "+list[i].getEmail());
   
   	}
   }
   
public void updateEntry(){
  BufferedReader input= new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
  int i=0;
  String name="";
  String add="";
  int tel=0;
  String email="";
   
    try{
       
       System.out.print("Entry number:        ");
  	   i=Integer.parseInt(input.readLine())-1;
       System.out.print("Name:        ");
  	   name=input.readLine();
       System.out.print("Address:        ");
       add=input.readLine();
       System.out.print("Telephone number:        ");
       tel=Integer.parseInt(input.readLine());
       System.out.print("Email:        ");
       email=input.readLine();
    }catch(Exception e){
       System.out.println(e);
       System.exit(0);
       AddressBookEntry entry= new AddressBookEntry(name,add,tel,email);
       list[i]=entry;
       }
  }
  
  

  }   

Here is the error:

The compiler does not find the AddressBookEntry class because it's not in the CLASSPATH
1. Where is AddressBookEntry.class ?
2. How did you compile AddressBook ?

[Pushkar Choudhary]

Is your AddressBookEntry class in the same package as the AddressBook class? If not, you need to import it.

Ohh.. Beaten by 11 seconds...!!!
Christophe Verré, I'm sure your network is faster than mine.

A big noob here, can't understand what you are trying to explain.
sorry

Please find the class whose name you are getting the problems with, and tell us exactly where you have got the .class file.

This is the whole program. I posted everything.

I think the problem is line number 8:

    private AddressBookEntry[] list; 

[salvin francis]

well...

Take a look at the program written...

it requires two different classes : AddressBook and AddressBookEntry

You have provided code that shows the defination of AddressBook,
but where is AddressBookEntry ?
thats what the java compiler is saying:

"cannot find symbol class AddressBookEntry"

let me rephrase/interpret that:

"Dude, I want to run your program, but I am unable to find a class named 'AddressBookEntry'. Its probably in a file called AddressBookEntry.java,
have you forgotten to define such class? if you have defined it, is it in the same class path so that I may access it ?"
