Syntax Error

[Ron Buzan]

I hate to be the noob. I thought I had worked the kinks out of this code, but the last remaining error is right at Line 1 with: "Syntax error on token(s), misplaced constructor(s)." I can attach the account class if needed.

 
public class Assign1Tester {
	/**
	 * test the bank...
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// insert modified instructor code...
					  
			    Account account = new Account(1122, 20000);  
			    account.setAnnualInterestRate(4.5);
			    
			    account.withDraw(2500);
			    account.dePos(3000);
			    
			    System.out.println("Balance is: " + account.getBal());
			    System.out.println("Monthly interest RATE is: " +account.getMonthlyInterestRate(4.5));
			    System.out.println("Monthly Interest Earnings are: " +account.getMonthlyEarnings(4.5));
			    account.getDate();
	}
}

Please do. I think the error is in there.

That's what I was afraid of. Note - there are one or two elements in here I haven't tied in yet (DecimalFormat..), they're just hanging out til I get the thing to compile.

public class Assign1Tester {
	/**
	 * test the bank...
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// insert modified instructor code...
					  
			    Account account = new Account(1122, 20000);
			    account.setAnnualInterestRate(4.5);
			    
			    account.withDraw(2500);
			    account.dePos(3000);
			    
			    System.out.println("Balance is " + account.getBal());
			    System.out.println("Monthly interest RATE is: " +account.getMonthlyInterestRate(4.5));
			    System.out.println("Monthly Interest Earnings are: " +account.getMonthlyEarnings(4.5));
			    account.getDate();
	}
}

This code is not in a single file, is it ?

[Niranjan Aithal]

Check your java version. There is nothing wrong with the code you have pasted. Autoboxing feature offered from Tiger (1.5) release of Java SDK.
try this :
Account account = new Account(1122, 20000d);

As Christophe pointed, if this is a single file put the import statement at the beginning :

import java.text.DecimalFormat;  
import java.util.*;

    	Account account = new Account(1122, 20000);  
                account.setAnnualInterestRate(4.5);  
                  
                account.withDraw(2500);

Niranjan, this has nothing to do with Java5 autoboxing feature. An int is casted into a double in previous versions too.

[Campbell Ritchie]

Why are you using DecimalFormat rather than the % tags?

Thanks Christophe.
