Hello everybody,

I started to read the book 'head first design patterns', but
I already got a problem.




I want to compile this code, but then it said:



How do you compile this?

The book gives only that part of the code that is necessary to make the reader understand the concept.The fly() etc. methods are a "don't care" vis-a-vis driving the concept home.
However, since you have raised this question, it makes me think that may be you are jumping ahead of yourself by reading Design Patterns. May be you should read Java basics first.

That's not true,
I only posted a part of the code on page18.
The fly() methods etc are in the FlyBehavier and QuickBehavier.
Anyone can help who had read this book?

So if fly() is part of the FlyBehavior object, how do you think you should call the fly() method from that object? As a hint, the code you posted IS NOT the code that is on page 18 of the book. You screwed up copying it. Can you see where? If you had a solid knowledge of Java Basics, as has previously been suggested, you should have been able to see the error right away.
