    'cannot find symbol variable theCount' / 'incompatible types'

    I have spent much time trying to figure out what is wrong and am still unable to get it.

    What it should do...
    I would like it to show the name of a product, the person guess's the price, then it tells them how off they were followed by a new product.

    Thanks for the help, its much appreciated!!

    Code:
    class priceIsRight
    {
    	public priceIsRight(double guessPrice, double count)
    	{
    		double theguessPrice;
    		double theCount;
    		theguessPrice = guessPrice;
    		theCount = count;
    	}
    	
    	public String getProductName()
    	{
    		String productName;
    		
            	switch(theCount)
                {
                	case 1: 
                		productName = "HP Laptop";
                		break;
                	case 2:
                		productName = "Used HP Laptop";
                		break;
                }
    			return productName;
        }
    
    	public String getProductPrice()
    	{
    		double productPrice;
    		
            	switch(theCount)
                {
                	case 1: 
                		productPrice = 1250;
                		break;
                	case 2:
                		productPrice = 1000;
                		break;
                }
    			return productPrice;
        }
    		public String toString()
        	{
            	String result;
            	result = "";
            	result = getProductName();
            	return result;
    		}
    	
    	
    	
       public static void main (String args [])
        {
            for (int count =0; count <10; count++)
            {
            double guessPrice;
            priceIsRight myPrice = new priceIsRight(guessPrice,count);        
            System.out.println ("Guess Amount:  ");
    		guessPrice = TextIO.getInt();
                System.out.println(myPrice);
            }
        }
    }

    You never defined a variable called theCount anywhere.

    You are returning a double in a method that is supposed
    to return a String. Either return String.valueOf(productPrice),
    or make getProductPrice() return a double.
