    Please copy the full text of the error messages and paste it here so we can see what the problems are.

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:
    [code=java]
    <YOUR CODE HERE>
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

    What is the code on line 44? Did you try putting a ( where the compiler was expecting it?

    PasswordManager.java:46: <identifier> expected
    You need to format the code so that it can be easily read and understood. This error might mean the {}s are not correctly positioned.

    Did you see this part of my post:
    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:
    [code=java]
    <YOUR CODE HERE>
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

    The code you posted needs to be formatted so it can be read and understood.
    The indentations need to be fixed. There are too many statements that start in the first column.

    Edit your post
    Put this tag before the code:
    [code=java]


    <YOUR CODE HERE>

    Put the following tag after your code.
    [/code]

    It should look like this when you save it:
    public class Test_SL {
     
      	public static void main(String[] args) {

    Also the code needs to properly indented.

    Default Re: boolean

    That's the first step. Now the code needs to be properly formatted.
    Nested statements need to be indented 3-4 spaces.
    }s should be beneath the start of the statement with the {

    There should not be two }s one beneath the other. The inner one should be indented.

    There are lots of examples on the forum. For example:

    Default Re: boolean

    How about like this?? Pleaseee help me!! I am trying to undestand Java, but it is a little difficult to me. I am reading my book, but, I don't understand it I have to turn this project tonight. Here is the code:

    import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
    public class PasswordManager
     
    {
    	private static String masterPassword = "secret3";
     
        public static void main(String[] args)
    }
    {
    	boolean done= false;
     
    	while(!done)
    }
     
    	String password= JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Enter Password:");
     
    	if (password.equals(password)
    {
     
    finish();
     
    }
     
    	try
    {
    	if (checkPassword.equals(checkPassword)
     
    	done = true;
     
    }
    	catch
    {
    	JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Your entry was incorrect! Please try again...",null JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
     
    	JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Your entry was correct!");
     
    public static void finish()
     
    }
    	return code;
        System.exit(0);
     
    }
    }

    Default Re: boolean

    The code still is not formatted correctly. Too many } are in the first column.

    }s should be beneath the start of the statement with the {
      void aMethod() {
          if(true) {
          ...
          }
       } //  end aMethod()

    It makes it very hard to read and understand code that is not properly formatted.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
