new to java

[Tony]

I have written a basic program with 2 source code files demonstrating the
new operator and basic method calls. On my computer at school, I receive an
error on line 7 of the TestPizza.java file regarding the new operator. When
I move the code to another computer, I do not receive the error and the
program operates just fine. I am using Java2 1.4.2. I have checked the
path in the System Variables and it is set up correctly. Other programs
work just fine except for this particular program. Other people in my class
were having the same problem and still others were not. All of us are using
EDIT to write the programs, and compile via the command line "javac
TestPizza.java" command.

Any ideas why the PC is having a problem with the "new" operator?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Tony

*************** *** First Source Code File Pizza.java
*************** ****

//create a class to store info abouty a pizza


class Pizza
{
// the private data members

private int diameter;
private double price;
private String toppings;


// the public get and set methods

public void setDiameter(int amt)
{
diameter = amt;
}

public int getDiameter()
{
return diameter;
}


public void setPrice(double amt)
{
price = amt;
}

public double getPrice()
{
return price;
}


public void setToppings(Str ing str)
{
toppings = str;
}

public String getToppings()
{
return toppings;
}


}// end class Pizza



************** second source code file TestPizza.java
*************** ****
// client to test the Pizza class

class TestPizza
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
Pizza pie = new Pizza();

pie.setDiameter (15);

pie.setPrice(8. 95);

pie.setToppings ("Mushroom, Pepperoni");


System.out.prin tln("You have ordered a pizza with "
+ pie.getToppings ()
+ " toppings,\nwith a diameter of "
+ pie.getDiameter ()
+ " and a price of "
+ pie.getPrice()) ;
}

Tony,

Are the two source files located in the same directory? Have you
compiled Pizza.java before the TestPizza.java file? Alternatively, if
you specify :

import Pizza;

.....at the top of TestPizza.java, when compiling TestPizza.java, your
compiler _may_ elect to invoke a compile on Pizza.java too. Give it a try.
