My BattleShip game will not compile correctly.

[javatier]

I have two classes. The application Starter is Called StartBattleShip. My Second Class is BattleShip. When I try to complie StartBattleShip I get two errors. The They both say they cannot find symbol , symbol : class BattleShip.

I have tried just about everything I could think of. I have typed in the command prompt set classpath = . That didn't even help. Here is the Code.

public class StartBattleShip
{
	public static void main(String[] Args)
	{
		BattleShip play = new BattleShip();
		int[] locations = {2,3,4};
		play.setLocationCells(locations);
		String userGuess = "2";
		String result = play.checkGuess(userGuess);
	}
}

class BattleShip
{
	int[] locationCells;
	int numberOfHits = 0;
	
	public void setLocationCells(int[] locs)
	{
		locationCells = locs;
	}
	
	public String checkGuess(String stringGuess)
	{
		int guess = Integer.parseInt(stringGuess);
		String result = "miss";
		for(int cells : locationCells)
		{
			if(guess == cells)
			{
				result = "hit";
				numberOfHits++;
				break;
			}
		}
		
		if(numberOfHits == locationCells.length)
		{
			result = "Kill" ;
		}
		
		System.out.println(result);
		return result;
	}
}

Any help would be appreciated. I am just too frustrated. I am sure it is something very simple. This is just the begining. I plan to expand it but for now I am trying to just get the basic to work.

Look at your declaration (the first line) of your Battleship class. Is something missing?

Do you have your CLASSPATH defined properly? (is this a problem you've had, before?)

[javatier]

No I have not had this problem before. I did place a public infront of the
class BattleShip decelaration. I happened to notice that also after I posted but it still comes up with the same errors.

I got it to compile finally. I went to my enviornment variables and added a new variable classpath and set the value to H:\Apps; which is where all my java applications are stored. Thanks for the help nspils.
