hey guys, ive been constantly strugglying to get my code working but have had no luck. i have 2 classes, ListDictionary.java & wordbase1.java which are both linked lists that have an inner node class. ListDictionary.java is an array of linked lists, which reads words in from a text file called dictionary.txt, where for the array every element of the array represents a letter of the alphabet, and contains a linked list of words in alphabetically order starting with that letter. The wordbase1.java is suppose to be a linked list containing all the words in the dictionary which is of 4 letters or less in length, in alphabetically order, and i seem to be getting errors with my array varible. My code is below, any help would be great!
Code:
public class wordbase1 extends ListDictionary
{
private wordbase head;
private ListDictionary insert;
public wordbase1(ListDictionary insert)
{
super();
this.insert = insert;
head = null;
}
public void insertDictionary()
{
insert.addToDictionary();
wordbase p = new wordbase(array[0].getWord());
for(int i = 0; i < 26; i++)
{
p.getWord() = array[i].getWord();
if( (array[i].getWord()).length() <= 4)
{
if(head == null)
{
head = p;
}
else if(head.word.compareTo(p.word) >=0)
{
p.next = head;
head = p;
}
else
{
wordbase node = head;
while((node.next != null) && ((node.next).word).compareTo(p.word) < 0)
{
node = node.next;
}
p.next = node.next;
node.next = p;
}
}
}
}
public class wordbase extends NodeDictionary
{
private int flag;
private wordbase next;
public wordbase(String word)
{
super(word);
flag = 0;
next = null;
}
public String getWord()
{
super.getWord();
}
}
}

the errors im getting are...
Code:
wordbase1.java:27: cannot find symbol
symbol : method getWord()
location: class ListDictionary
wordbase p = new wordbase(array[0].getWord());
^
wordbase1.java:30: unexpected type

p.getWord() = array[i].getWord();
^
wordbase1.java:30: cannot find symbol

p.getWord() = array[i].getWord();
^
wordbase1.java:31: cannot find symbol
symbol : method getWord()
location: class ListDictionary
if( (array[i].getWord()).length() <= 4)
^
4 errors
I have been trying to fix it for a while but no luck yet, any help would be great.
