Cannot find symbol

[Jacob Milligan]

I'm new to Java and relatively new to programming in general. Currently I'm reading the book 'Head First Java' and am stuck on this piece of code from chapter two.

Every time I try to compile it, it comes up with an error.

Anyway, here's the code:

public class GuessGame {
    Player p1;
    Player p2;
    Player p3;
    
    public void startGame() {
    p1 = new Player();
    p2 = new Player();
    p3 = new Player();
    
    int guessp1 = 0;
    int guessp2 = 0;
    int guessp3 = 0;
    
    boolean p1isRight = false;
    boolean p2isRight = false;
    boolean p3isRight = false;
    
    int targetNumber = ((int)(Math.random() * 10));
    System.out.println("I'm thinking of a number between 0 and 9...");
    
    while(true) {
        System.out.println("Number to guess is " + targetNumber);
        
        p1.guess();
        p2.guess();
        p3.guess();
        
        guessp1 = p1.number;
        System.out.println("Player one guessed " + guessp1);
        
        guessp2 = p2.number;
        System.out.println("Player two guessed " + guessp2);
        
        guessp3 = p3.number;
        System.out.println("Player three guessed " + guessp3);
        
        if (guessp1 == targetNumber) {
            p1isRight = true;
        }
        if (guessp2 == targetNumber) {
            p2isRight = true;
        }
        if (guessp3 == targetNumber) {
            p3isRight = true;
        }
        
        if (p1isright || p2isright || p3isright) {
            
            System.out.println("We have a winner!");
            System.out.println("Player one got it right?" + p1isright);
            System.out.println("Player two got it right?" + p2isright);
            System.out.println("Player three got it right?" + p3isright);
            System.out.println("Game is over.");
            break; // game over, so break out of the loop
            
        }   else {
            // we must keep going because nobody got it right!
            System.out.println("Players will have to try again.");
            }
        }
    }
}

public class Player {
    int number = 0; // where the guess goes
    
    public void guess() {
        number = ((int)(Math.random() * 10));
        System.out.println("I'm guessing " + number);
    }
}

public class GameLauncher {
    public static void main (String[] args) {
        GuessGame game = new GuessGame();
        game.startGame();
    }
}

I type javac *.java to compile it
And here's the error it keeps throwing up:

GuessGame.java:48: error: cannot find symbol

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

java is case sensitive

Hmm... Well I feel a bit silly now. I didn't even notice that.

Thanks!
