Thread: Need help on Java program

I have an assignment for my java class. Here is the assignment followed by the code I have done so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. Expand the class Inventory, developed in the previous part of the project, by doing the following:


• Providing “pop-up” windows to ask for the names of the input and output files. Do this in the constructor; in other words, save the output file name for the finalizer.
• Handle any exceptions that might be generated in the class.


2. Create another program to make use of the class Inventory. The options – (1) modify the information for a part, (2) list the parts, (3) list the parts needing to be reordered, or (4) add a new part – should be menu driven. The “reports” (displays) should be neatly formatted. Your grade will be based on how well the program works and if it is “user friendly” – not how fancy the windows (if any) are.


Turn in the two files – the Inventory class file and the main program file.


Here is my code for the Inventory class file.

  import java.io.*;
   import java.util.*;
 
   class InventoryExample{
      static int SIZE = 100;	// Max. size for arrays
      int partNum[];
      int quantity[];
      double cost[];
      double wholesaleCost[];
      int reorderQuantity[];
      String description[];
      int invCnt;
      private PrintWriter op;
 
   //constructor
      public InventoryExample() throws FileNotFoundException {
         partNum = new int[SIZE];
         quantity = new int [SIZE];
         cost = new double[SIZE];
         wholesaleCost = new double[SIZE];
         reorderQuantity = new int[SIZE];
         description = new String[SIZE];
         invCnt = 0;
 
	  // Get filename and create the file
         FileWriter writer = null;
         BufferedReader user = new BufferedReader(
            new InputStreamReader( System.in ) );
         String fileName = "";
 
         System.out.print("Enter Filename-->"); System.out.flush();
         try
         {
            fileName = user.readLine().trim();
            writer = new FileWriter( fileName );
         }
            catch ( IOException iox )
            {
               System.out.println("Error in creating file");
               return;
            }	
 
      }

I believe that I have the input file part correct and the output part correct too. The inventory class does compile without any errors but I haven't been able to test it yet because I cannot get a test program to compile and work. This is where I start having a lot of the trouble. I will post what I have so far and the errors that I get when I compile. Please keep the laughter to a minimum as I am very new to this.

 import java.text.NumberFormat;
 
   class InventoryTest {
      public static void main(String args[])
      {
 
      // creates new inventory
         InventoryExample = new InventoryExample( );
 
      // add the software to the inventory
 
         getDescription = new InventoryExample("Part");
         InventoryExample.addpart(description);
 
         getWholesale = new InventoryExample("10");
         InventoryExample.addpart(description);
 
         getCost = new InventoryExample("10");
         InventoryExample.addpart(description);
 
         getQuantity = new InventoryExample("10");
         InventoryExample.addpart(description);
 
         getReorder = new InventoryExample("10");
         InventoryExample.addpart(description);
 
      // sort by sftitle
         InventoryExample.sortproduct( );
 
      // prints inventory
         for (int i = 0; i < InventoryExample.getproductCount(); i++) {
            System.out.println(InventoryExample.getproduct(i));
            System.out.println();
         }
      }
   }

Here are the compile errors that I am getting.

Basically I think it would be easier to scrap the test file and start new. Thanks for any help in advance guys!!!

Yes the InventoryExample.java file is in the same directory
