    Default Please help, my inventory code is not working

    I have been struggling with this program. It's an inventory program for class. It won't run and I need to modify it today with the following criteria Please help:

    Use an array to store the items. The output should display the information one product at a time, including the item number, the name of the product, the number of units in stock, the price of each unit, and the value of the inventory of that product. In addition, the output should display the value of the entire inventory.

    · Create a method to calculate the value of the entire inventory.

    · Create another method to sort the array items by the name of the product.

    My Code:
     
    package inventory1;
     
    /**
     *
     * @author Gary
     */
    public class Inventory1 {
     
     
     
        public static void main(String args []) {
     
            class dvd {
     
                public dvd(int i, String Matrix, int i0, double dvd) {
     
                }
     
        }
     
            DVD dvd;
            Object DVD dvd = new DVD (1, "Matrix", 5, 2.15);
     
            System.out.println(dvd);
     
     
            DVD dvd1 = new DVD (2,"Aliens", 7, 1.23);
     
            System.out.println(dvd);
     
     
            DVD = new dvd (3, "Twilight", 6, 3.65);
     
            System.out.println(dvd);
     
     
            DVD = new dvd (4, "Hurt Locker", 3, 2.10);
     
            System.out.println(dvd);
     
     
            System.out.println("Product Title is " + dvd.getDvdTitle());
     
            System.out.println("The number of units in stock is" + dvd.getDvdStock());
     
            System.out.println("The price of each DVD is" + dvd.getDvdPrice());
     
            System.out.println("The item number is " + dvd.getDvdItem());
     
            System.out.println("The value of the inventory is" + dvd.value());
      } //end main

    Which line is line 26?

    What is "required string, double, double, double"?

    It'd be better if you posted the full text of the error message and not just copy a few lines.
    Please copy full text of error message and paste it here. Here is a sample:
    TestSorts.java:138: cannot find symbol
    symbol  : variable var
    location: class TestSorts
             var = 2;
             ^

    There are two data types at the start of the line: Object and DVD
    There should only be one. What data type do you want to define the variable: dvd to be?
    Remove the other data type.

    See this line:
       DVD dvd1 = new DVD

    The code looks like you tried many different ways to code it. Most of them are wrong.
    I suggest that you delete all of them and work on just one. Code it and then compile it.
    If there are errors, fix the errors and compile it again.
    Don't type in any more statements until all the errors are fixed.
    Work on ONE PROBLEM AT A TIME.

    Dude I have no idea how to repair the code because I don't know where it went wrong. I have one error. Everything else compiles fine.

    Remove either Object or DVD from the start of the statement with the error.
    You can NOT put two data types with one variable. For example:
    String Scanner avar =...
    would be wrong with the two classnames (data types) before avar


    I have one error. Everything else compiles fine.
    Comment out the statement with the error and see what happens.

    Can you copy and post here the compiler errors? What you have posted is from when you try to execute the code. Just compile the code and get the compiler errors. Don't try to execute the code when it has compiler errors.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
