Simple Problem..

[Code_Nerd]

Hello..
I am quite new to Java and havent picked up on the little nuances it has.. I am getting an error "Cannot find Symbol" class BTNode..
Do I need to import it or something, I do not understand why it cannot be found? Below are the classes I am trying to use..

BTNode Class

public class BTNode{
    protected Object data;
    protected BTNode left,right;

    public BTNode(){
        data = null;
        left = right = null;
    }
    public BTNode(Object d){
        data = d;
        left = right = null;
    }
    public void setLeft(BTNode sleft){
        left = sleft;
    }
    public void setRight(BTNode sright){
        right = sright;
    }
    public void setData(Object sdata){
        data = sdata;
    }
    public BTNode getLeft(){
        return left;
    }
    public BTNode getRight(){
        return right;
    }
    public Object getData(){
        return data;
    }
}

Binary Tree abstract class

public abstract class BinaryTree{
    private BTNode root;

    protected BTNode getRoot(){
        return root;
    }
    protected void setRoot(BTNode r){
        root = r;
    }
    public BinaryTree(){
        setRoot(null);
    }
    public BinaryTree(Object o){
        setRoot(new BTNode(o));
    }
    public boolean isEmpty(){
        return getRoot() == null;
    }
    public Object getData(){
        if(!isEmpty())
            return getRoot().getData();
        return null;
    }
    public BTNode getLeft(){
        if(!isEmpty())
            return getRoot().getLeft();
        return null;
    }
    public BTNode getRight(){
        if(!isEmpty())
            return getRoot().getRight();
        return null;
    }
    public void setData(Object o){
        if(!isEmpty())
            getRoot().setData(o);
    }
    public void insertLeft(BTNode p,Object o){
        if((p != null) && (p.getLeft() == null))
            p.setLeft(new BTNode(o));
    }
    public void insertRight(BTNode p,Object o){
        if((p != null) && (p.getRight() == null))
            p.setRight(new BTNode(o));
    }
    public void print(int mode){
        if(mode == 1) pretrav();
        else if(mode == 2) intrav();
        else if(mode == 3) postrav();
    }
    public void printPreOrder(){
        printPreOrder(getRoot());
    }
    protected void printPreOrder(BTNode p){
        if(p == null)
            return;
        System.out.print(p.getData()+" ");
        printPreOrder(p.getLeft());
        printPreOrder(p.getRight());
    }
    public void printInOrder(){
        printInOrder(getRoot());
    }
    protected void printInOrder(BTNode p){
        if(p == null)
            return;
        printInOrcder(p.getLeft());
        System.out.print(p.getData()+" ");
        printInOrder(p.getRight());
    }
    public void printPostOrder(){
        printPostOrder(getRoot());
    }
    protected void printPostOrder(BTNode p){
        if(p == null)
            return;
        printPostOrder(p.getLeft());
        printPostOrder(p.getRight());
        System.out.print(p.getData()+" ");
    }
}

Any help would be appreciated..
Thankyou

Sorry for the late answer...
Normally you do not have to import classes you have written yourself as long as you are using them in the same folder as other classes which are referring to the first class.
Just to be sure : are you still having this problem, since it's a while that you've made this thread ?
And how do you compile : from within an IDE like Eclipse or from a DOS box ?

Do any of those classes have a package statement at the start? Are the two classes in different directories? You should check where the .class files are being stored.

In summary, comment out any package statements (for now) and comment any imports for those packages (for now). Put all the files in the same directory. Try again.

You could compile from DOS by going to the directory of the .java files and typing

javac *.java
