    Default Class issues not allowing me to compile

    I cant get my code to compile keeps having issues with the methods/classes...... im trying to build a roulette table

    A bet is: The Player picks a particular number and commits one to as many chips as they have to that number.
    The player is allowed to place a bet on as many particular numbers as they wish.
    The rules of the game - described above - must be adhered to strictly.
    All user input must be validated to be in its appropriate range.
    A spin report must be displayed after each spin, stating the result of the spin (how much won, how much lost)
    You must keep track of how many spins the Player plays.
    You must keep track of how many bets the Player won on.
    You must keep track of how many bets the Player lost on.
    You must keep track of the number of times each number occurs as the result of a spin.
    You must write and use a statistics report method which displays:
    How many spins the Player played.
    How many bets the Player won.
    How many bets the Player lost.
    For each number that was the result of a spin, how many times that number was the result of a spin.
    The net winnings (or net losings) of the Player - Based off of starting with 500 chips.

    any help would be appreciated and if you see something else thats wrong plz lemme know im sure its something simple that im overlooking

    Default Re: Class issues not allowing me to compile

    Please copy the full text of the compiler's error messages and paste it here so we can see the problems.

    One problem I see is misplaced { and }s. It's important that the code be properly formatted with }s being in the same column beneath the start of the statement with the {.

    There should NOT be anything on the same line with a }.
    Hiding }s makes the code very hard to read and understand.
    For example this:
    break;} }


    This code needs to be editted and the formatting of the {}s fixed.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Default Re: Class issues not allowing me to compile

    The posted code is missing the import statements. Is there an import statement for the missing class?

    That exception is a runtime exception, not a compiler exception. It looks like there could be something with the java program.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Default Re: Class issues not allowing me to compile

    No idea what's with the NoClassDefFoundError and ClassNotFoundException, but the code posted in post #1 definitely doesn't compile. There are multiple elementary problems with it.

    Important notes

    When you're new with programming:
    • Pay close attention to code indentation. Haphazard indentation is a source of errors, as in your code. See https://servicemix.apache.org/develo...standards.html for an example of how to do this properly.
    • Every time when you type an open brace ({), immediately type the close brace (}) before filling in the body. This helps ensure every open brace has a matching close brace.
    • Compile your code frequently. Don't wait until you have lots of code before compiling, as you'll end up with so many compile errors that you will not know where to start. Fix your compile errors before continuing with you coding (unless the compile errors are expected, e.g., you have yet to implement a class or a method that is being called.)

    Here are the errors that I've found:

    1. public static int main (String[] args)

    This is the main method - the first method that you learn in Java programming. And you got the method signature wrong. It should be: public static void main (String[] args)

    2. static player theplayer;

    The above line is located in the main method. You cannot use the static modifier for variables in a method. However that's not the problem. Since the theplayer variable is also needed in thewheel method, it would appear that theplayer is meant to be a class variable, so move this statement out and above the main method. E.g.,
    public class Gameroulette {
     
        static player theplayer;
     
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            ...
        }

    3. int theodds;

    This variable has not been initialised, and causes problem at "int num = (int) (Math.random() * theodds); // wheel modified to input)". Either initialise this variable during the declaration above, or move "int num = (int) (Math.random() * theodds); // wheel modified to input)" to after "theodds = scan.nextInt();".

    4. static thewheel(int theodds,int iamount, int bet)

    This method declaration is missing the return type. See Defining Methods (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Classes and Objects). Since thewheel appears to not need return a value, you must use "void" as the return type, e.g., "static void thewheel(int theodds,int iamount, int bet)"

    5. if (c == 's' && theplayer.setCurrentAmount > 0) {

    setCurrentAmount is a method in the player class: public void setCurrentAmount(int amt). Perhaps it is getCurrentAmount() that you want to call here?

    6. counterw = counterw++;

    counterw has not been initialised, and so causes a problem here. Also, with the ++ operator, "counterw++" loosely implies "counter = counter + 1", so there's no need for the initial "counterw =" in "counterw = counterw++".

    7. counterl = counterl++;// counts losses

    Same problem as counterw above.

    8. Incorrect number of braces at the end of code

    At the end of your posted code you have
    }}
    }
    There are 2 extraneous braces here - something that you could have avoided if you follow the 3 important notes above.

    bah i have given up and rewrote the code to simple if statements since the get commands are screwing with me but thanks
