help in fixing the error

[Ahmed Mohamed]

hi.....i have finished the program that determines if the students fails or not..according to the grades.....well....i have an error..i dont know how to overcome it...it says " class expexted...here is the code :

import java.util.Vector;
import javax.swing.JOptionpane;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.BufferedReader;

public class student

{
double mark[]= new double[5];
String grade;
string name;
int id;

Vector v=new Vector();


student()

{

grade="";
name="";
id=0;

for(int i=0; i<5; i++)
{
mark[i]=0;
}

}


student (double d[], String g, String n, int idno)

{

mark =d;
grade=g;
name=n;
id=idno;
}



public void menu()

{
int choice = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog (" Enter No. for the Operation"
+"\n 1. Add a student."
+"\n 2. Total number of student."
+"\n 3. No. of students falling."
+"\n 4. Generate an annual report."
+"\n 5. Continue."
+"\n 6. Exit."));


if (choice ==1)
{ getValues(); }

else if (choice==2)
{ getTotalNumber(); }

else if(choice==3)
{ getfallgrade();}

else if(choice==4)
{display();}

else if(choice==5)
{menu();}

else
{ System.exit(0); }

menu();

}


public void getValues()

{

student s=new student();
s.name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Input student name:");
String idno = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter ID:");
s.id =Integer.parseInt(idno);

String m = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Marks for Mathematics");
String m1 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Marks for Arts");
String m2 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Marks for Science");
String m3 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Marks for Games");
String m4 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Marks for Computers");


s.mark[0]= double.parseDouble(m);
s.mark[1]= double.parseDouble(m1);
s.mark[2]= double.parseDouble(m2);
s.mark[3]= double.parseDouble(m3);
s.mark[4]= double.parseDouble(m4);

v.add(s);

}



public void getmark()

{

for (int i=0; i<5; i++)
{
System.out.println(mark[i]);
}
}



public void getfallgrade()

{

int acount=0;
int bcount=0;
int ccount=0;
int dcount=0;
int fcount=0;

for (int i=0; i<v.size(); i++)
{
student s = (student) v.elementAt(i);

if(s.grade=='A')
acount++;
else if(s.grade=='B')
bcount++;
else if(s.grade=='c')
ccount++;
else if(s.grade=='D')
dcount++;

}


System.out.println("students under A:"+acount);
System.out.println("students under B:"+bcount);
System.out.println("students under C:"+ccount);
System.out.println("students under D:"+dcount);
System.out.println("students under F:"+fcount);

}


public void getgrade()

{


double sum=0, avg=0;

for (int j=0; j<5; j++)
{
sum+= mark[j];
}

avg=sum/5;

System.out.println(avg);

if(avg>=90) grade="A";
else if (avg>=80) grade ="B";
else if (avg>=70) grade ="C";
else if (avg>=60) grade ="D";
else grade="F";
System.out.println(grade);
}


void getTotalNumber()

{

System.out.println( "Total number of students =" + v.size());
}

public void getname()
{
System.out.println(name);
}

public void getid()
{
System.out.println("ID:"+id);
}

void display()

{

for (int i=0; i<v.size(); i++)
{
student s =(sudent) v.elementAt(i);
System.out.println("Marks for students");
s.getmark();
s.getgrade();
s.getname();
s.getid();
}
}


public static void main( String args[]) throws Exception

{
student s = new student();
s.menu();
}
}


the error i get is in this part :

s.mark[0]= double.parseDouble(m);
^
s.mark[1]= double.parseDouble(m1);
^
s.mark[2]= double.parseDouble(m2);
^
s.mark[3]= double.parseDouble(m3);
^
s.mark[4]= double.parseDouble(m4);
^

thannks

Double is a class whose name is in title case. You have it in lower case ("double").

s.mark[0]= double.parseDouble(m);
s.mark[1]= double.parseDouble(m1);
s.mark[2]= double.parseDouble(m2);
s.mark[3]= double.parseDouble(m3);
s.mark[4]= double.parseDouble(m4);

Here's a hint for debugging your own code, or anybody else's: Always look for typographical errors first because they seem to be by far and away the most common cause of a program not compiling and sometimes of runtime errors too.

Once you have sorted out all the typos and spelling in your code, you still have a problem with your grading algorithm: you are trying to do
s.grade == 'A' etc.
This will not work as you are trying to compare a String (grade) with a char primitive 'A'. These are incompatible types and cannot be compared by using the comparison operator ==.

You want to do something like:
s.grade.equals("A"),
this should work better.
Apart from that, I can't see too many compiler errors with your code, except I'm not sure that the counting methods you are using are doing what you want.
