    Default Missing class file

    After an unintended break, I'm back to learning Java.

    I'm having a problem debugging the following file. I keep getting the message: "The following file is missing class or inner class files." I'm sure I'm missing something very simple. But what is it? I'm still working on fixing the rest of the file.



    public class Oops2 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

    int x;
    x = 0;
    System.out.println ("x is "),x;

    int x;
    x = 15; // set x to 15
    System.out.println ("x is now "x);

    int y; // set y to 1 more than x
    y = x+1;
    System.out.println ("x and y are "x + and + y);
    }
    }

    I keep getting the message: "The following file is missing class or inner class files."
    Please copy the full text of the error messages and paste it here.

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:
    [code=java]
    <YOUR CODE HERE>
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

    Sorry about the formatting error, Norm. I think I have it fixed:

    Here's the complete error message:

    The following file is missing class or inner class files: "/Users/Mike/Java Chapter 2/Oops2.java" Proceeding before correcting this is not recommended.

       public class Oops2 {
          public static void main(String[] args)  {
     
             int x;
             x = 0;
             System.out.println ("x is "),x;
     
             int x;
             x = 15;  // set x to 15
             System.out.println ("x is now "x);
     
             int y;  // set y to 1 more than x
             y = x+1;
             System.out.println ("x and y are "x + and + y);
          }
       }

    I've never seen that style of error message.
    What program are you executing to get that message?

    Do you get any error messages from the javac compiler?
    The message should show the source with a ^ under the location of the error.
    Here is a sample from the javac compiler:
    TestSorts.java:138: cannot find symbol
    symbol  : variable var
    location: class TestSorts
             var = 2;
             ^

    I'm using jGrasp to do the programming, but I'm starting from a web page called "Practice-It!" (I'm working from a textbook called "Building Java Programs: A Back to Basics Approach.") I've attached two screenshots: 1) the web page that gives the practice question; 2) the error message as it appears on jGrasp.

    What does the posted code have to do with the title of this thread?

    I don't know anything about how JGrasp works.

    Are you trying to compile the code shown in post#3?
    Can you use the javac command from the JDK to compile the code so that normal error messages are created?
    The Posted images are not readable.
