    That is a very confusing post. Why are the error messages mixed in with the source code?

    public ElementNotFoundException (String collection) invalid method declaration; return type required
    The code looks like a constructor (no return type) but the compiler thinks it is a method definition.
    Check the placement of the code.
    Which is it? A method or a constructor? Where is the class statement for it?

    public class EmptyCollectionException extends RuntimeException classEmptyCollectionException is public, should be declared in a file named EmptyCollectionException.java
    That message is self explanatory. Move the class to its own named file.

    It be better to just post the error messages without any editing.

    Or to leave a blank line between the source and the error message.

    I must say this thread is rather confusing.

    gerry123, the code or highlight tags are used to keep the code neat and add syntax highlighting which both make it easier to read.

    You also need to post all your code and give us something we can attempt to compile.
    Please use [highlight=Java] code [/highlight] tags when posting your code.

    below is where the errors are within the code, what exactly am i missing in this code?
    /**

     * is empty.

    public class EmptyCollectionException extends RuntimeException

       }

    }

    Please copy and paste here the full text of the error messages.
    Not too many of us are compilers. We need the errors from the compiler to be able to tell you what the compiler sees is wrong with your code.


    Did you read post#6?

    Please edit your code and wrap it in code tags. Use Go Advanced, select your code and press the # icon above the input box.

    All it says is
    What is the "it"?
    Can you get to a javac compiler?
    Use that to get error messages with some meaning.

    The javac compiler is the one installed with the JDK from Oracle.

    I don't use a proper IDE. I have an enhanced editor - syntax hilighting and multiple projects each with commandlines

    Where is QueueADT defined?

    after running the file i got the following message;
    IDEs are magic. This source won't compile. There is no way to execute it.
    How can you "run" it?

    I can see where one error comes from - at the bottom of your LinkedQueue class, there is a method defined that doesn't have a return value specified, so it looks like a constructor, but it isn't a constructor. See under 'Sets up this exception with an appropriate message.'

    ETA - I notice Norm pointed this out very early on in the thread...
