Hi there, the following issue builds somewhat on my previous issues with TestPizza.java:

https://coderanch.com/t/726873/java/TestPizza-java#3380193


This next program, TestOrder.java , should output the name of the customer and an array of the pizzas that they have ordered, which is pulled from the Order class.

However, none of the parameters in my order objects are being resolved to a variable. What do I need to do to fix this? The pizza objects to be used as items in the arrays are defined in TestPizza.java 's main method. It seems they are not in scope, but it is a public method so I don't see why they shouldn't be.

Code for the Order class:




and the code for the Main Method:





code for TestPizza.java:

Can you post the errors you get when you compile this?

And your TestPizza code has nothing at all to do with your TestOrder code.

Where have you defined the class Customer and where have you created the Customer object joeBloggs?

The problem is in your TestOrder.main. The Order constructor takes an array of Pizza. You're trying to pass in a array of String. Also, the things that are in the arary you're creating are not defined.

Ah, that's the disconnect.

Your TestCustomer, TestPizza and TestOrder classes are all entirely separate things.
The stuff declared in the main method in each of them is not visible by the others.

They are, essentially, different programs.

If they are all public classes in the same folder, then why does that matter?

It matters to the Java compiler. All those variables you've define in their respective main() methods are local variables and are thus visible only in their respective main() methods. You don't want to start making them public either so that you can access them from anywhere. That would be a bad idea and violates the principle of encapsulation.

By the way, did you get the Pizza problem corrected? Have you tested Pizzas to see how they run?
