Ah ok I'll make sure to post code in that format from now on.


I figured it out. I simply put the CheckLambo code minus the class declaration inside
the StolenLambo class, inside only the class brackets. Works now. Thanks.

I am currently working my way through the head first java book and am completely stuck.
I am trying to write the mini battleship(re-written by me to involve the finding of a stolen Lamborghini)
game, and can't get it to compile right. I've gone over it for an hour straight and can't find what is wrong.


class 1:
public class CheckLambo { int [] locationCells; int numOfHits = 0; public void setLocationCells(int[] locs) { locationCells = locs; } public String checkLambo(String locationGuess) { int guess = Integer.parseInt(locationGuess); String result = "miss"; for (int cell : locationCells) { if (guess == cell) { result = "Found it!"; numOfHits++; break; } } if (numOfHits == locationCells.length) { result = "found"; } System.out.println(result); return result; } }

class 2:
public class StolenLambo { public static void main(String[] args) { int numOfGuesses = 0; GameHelper helper = new GameHelper(); StolenLambo diablo = new StolenLambo(); int randomNum = (int) (Math.random() * 5); int[] locations = {randomNum, randomNum+1, randomNum+2}; diablo.setLocationCells (locations); boolean isLost = true; while(isLost == true) { String guess = helper.getUserInput("enter a number"); String result = diablo.checkLambo(guess); numOfGuesses++; if (result.equals ("found")) isLost = false; System.out.println("You took " + numOfGuesses + " guesses"); } } }

ERROR:

What am I doing wrong? Is it a typo that I haven't found?

Thanks
