Thread: error while creating a "clear" method

Hello!
I was following this(a video on youtube called "Game Programming: Episode 10- Clearing the Screen" by "TheChernoProject ) tutorial on how to make a game when an error occurred.

in my clear method in the screen class, it shows an error in this line;

pixels[i] = 0;

the "i" says that it cannot be resolved to a variable. why is this?

i have checked and i have the same coda as "Cherno" has in the video, but i still get this error.

--- Update ---

so basically i have followed a series on how to make a game. in a game you have to render to a screen and you must clear the screen before every new render. I have come thus far that i have made a method that will clear the screen, but i get an error in that clear method. The error concerns an "i". I can use that "i" in the lines of code just above, butt not in this line.

this is my clear method;

public void clear(){
for (int i = 0; i < pixels.length; i++);
pixels [ i ] = 0;
}

its the "i" in the square brackets after calling pixels.

The semi-colon at the end of the 'for' statement ends the 'for' clause. The 'i' in the next line is now an orphan, having never been declared. Remove the semi-colon at the end of the 'for' statement.

Whoops, Tanks!
now i get an error while debugging the code, it reads;

Save Problems

Save could not be completed. Try File > Save As... if the problem persists.

Reason:
some characters cannot be mapped using "Cp1252" character encoding.
Either change the encoding or remove the characters which are not supported by "Cp1252" character encoding.

What could cause this?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Fixed it, i just start from the beginning and copied the code from the old files and it worked like a charm!
Thanks for the help!

Btw I an using Eclipse as my ide.
