    Question to above is :

    Design an abstract class named Customer with fields for storing a customer’s name, ID, address,
    telephone number and date of membership. It has a constructor with arguments to initialize the
    data fields. This class has a toString method to display customer’ name, ID, address, telephone
    number and date of membership. It also has an abstract method named getPointsBalance.
    Then, design a class named CherasOutletCustomer which extends the Customer class. It
    declares one final integer fields name POINTS which hold 100 as the value. This field holds the
    total redeemed points given after registering the membership. The class also declares a field to
    indicates points that customer has used. In this class, write a mutator method to store value for
    the class’s field. Next, CherasOutletCustomer class will override:
    a. abstract getPointsBalance method defined in Customer class. In this method, declare an
    integer variable to hold the remaining points left after customer use the given points.
    Calculate the remaining points.
    b. the toString method defined in Customer class and also display ‘Cheras’ as branch name
    and points used.
    As a loyalty rewards, customers can earn discount voucher and extra points on all their purchases.
    The amount of a customer’s discount voucher and extra points are determined by the amount of
    the customer’s purchases in the store as follows:
     Customer purchases RM500 - RM5 discount voucher and 5 extra points is given.
     Customer purchases RM1500 – RM10 discount voucher and 8 extra points is given.
     Customer purchases RM2000 – RM20 discount voucher and 10 extra points is given.
     Customer purchases RM2500 – RM30 discount voucher and 15 extra points is given.
    To demonstrate the loyalty rewards, design a class named CustomerLoyaltyRewards which
    extends CherasOutletCustomer class. The CustomerLoyaltyRewards class has fields for the
    amount of customer’s purchases, discount voucher level and extra points given. Provide
    appropriate constructor, mutator and accessor methods for the class’s fields.
    Demonstrate the classes by writing a program (test class) that uses a CustomerLoyaltyRewards
    object

    What class are you trying to execute? What is the "main" class? Do you have all of these in one file?

    PS- When posting code, make sure you use the code or highlight tags. I added them for you this time, but please be more mindful in the future.

    Thank you for tking a look. I have no problem to compile using textpad but when i run the code, it give me "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main" error.

    I tried almost everything but this error is always hunting me. Someone says the code is not complete and I do not know how to finish it according to the question that is posted here. It is a challange and I like to see the completion and output to it.

    anyone can chip in ideas to complete? Please, please , join hand to help. TQ

    You didn't answer my questions. What class are you trying to execute? What is the "main" class? Do you have all of these in one file? What does your directory structure look like? What are you actually typing into the command prompt (you are using the command prompt, right?)?

    Hi KevinWorkman. I am trying to execute Customer class which is the main class. Yes, they are all in what I put in the codes. I not using command line to execute. I am using textpad to write the code and using Ctrl 1 to compile and Ctrl 2 to run. When compile, it does not give any error. When I run, it gives error as mentioned.

    Hi Mr. 777. I tried but no success.

    REgards,

    REgards,
    How customer can be your main class? You are writing your main() in test class.
