    Default object error cannot find symbol question

    I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong or what but I can not get this to run
    it gives me an error on lines everytime there is an object ch as line 3. with error "cannot find symbol"

    I dont understand

    public class EmployeeDemo {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            Employee e1 = new Employee();
            e1.name = "John";
            e1.ssn = "555-12-345";
     
     
            Employee e2 = new Employee();
            e2.name = "Tom";
            e2.ssn = "456-78-901";
            e2.yearOfBirth = 1974;
     
            System.out.println("Name: " + e1.name);
            System.out.println("SSN: " + e1.ssn);
            System.out.println("Year Of Birth: " + e1.yearOfBirth);
     
            System.out.println("Name: " + e2.name);
            System.out.println("SSN: " + e2.ssn);
            System.out.println("Year Of Birth: " + e2.yearOfBirth);

    Please post the full error message, and you did not post the Employee class - where is this class? Can the compiler find it?

    That answered a lot. Maybe I didn't go through the tutorial correctly or something. But it does help me understand a little more about connecting files because originally I didn't think there was another file I thought there was only a single to that tutorial. I will have to go back and reread.
