the following is the hellocomponent then viewer then the files for the letters helo the compoent file has 10 errors and i don't know what to do



Mod edit - Please
~BetaWar

your import javax.swing... is in the middle of the file... all imports must be at the top of the file

your "letter" constructors do not have the parameter x & y
so
Letter l2 = new LetterL();

or have the constructor

LetterL(int x, int y)

classes inside a .java belonging to another class cannot be public, they have to be private ... if you want them public put them in their own .java file

When I compile the files seperatly, i dont have a problem. So why is it that when i compile as nessicary, i get all these errors???

Here is the Viewer....

import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class HelloViewer
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
JFrame frame = new JFrame();

final int FRAME_WIDTH = 200;
final int FRAME_HEIGHT = 100;

frame.setSize(FRAME_WIDTH, FRAME_HEIGHT);
frame.setTitle("ExP5_11");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

HelloComponent component = new HelloComponent();
frame.add(component);

frame.setVisible(true);
}
}


It says I have many errors.. Why, I dont know..

Here is the COmponent...WIth more errors...

import javax.swing.JComponent;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;

/**
Draws "HELLO".
*/
public class HelloComponent extends JComponent
{
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
{
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;

final int WIDTH = 30;
final int SPACING = 5;

double x = 0;
double y = 0;

LetterH h = new LetterH();
H.draw(g2);

x = x + WIDTH + SPACING;
LetterE e = new LetterE();
E.draw(g2);

x = x + WIDTH + SPACING;
LetterL l1 = new Letter();
L1.draw(g2);

x = x + WIDTH + SPACING;
LetterL l2 = new LetterL();
L2.draw(g2);

x = x + WIDTH + SPACING;
LetterO o = new LetterO(x, y);
O.draw(g2);
}
}



Now here are the Letter Classes....Wich all Compile fine...
public class LetterH
{
/**
Constructs a large letter H
*/
public LetterH()
{
}

/**
Gets the large letter H
@return large letter H
*/
public String getLetter()
{
return "* *\n* *\n*****\n* *\n* *\n";
}
}




public class LetterE
{
/**
Constructs a large letter E
*/
public LetterE()
{
}

/**
Gets the large letter E
@return large letter E
*/
public String getLetter()
{
return "*****\n*\n*****\n*\n*****\n";
}
}





public class LetterL
{
/**
Constructs a large letter L
*/
public LetterL()
{
}

/**
Gets the large letter L
@return large letter L
*/
public String getLetter()
{
return "*\n*\n*\n*\n*****\n";
}
}



public class LetterO
{
/**
Constructs a large letter O
*/
public LetterO()
{
}

/**
Gets the large letter O
@return large letter O
*/
public String getLetter()
{
return " ***\n* *\n* *\n* *\n ***\n";
}
}




The Letter Classes as I said are fine. PLease help me figure this out.

Did you made the corrections I told you do do ?

I guess you will have to repost your code.

Separate between different [ code] [ /code] tags the content of every file.

[ code] [ /code] i must br pretty dumb because i dont know what you mean by that

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import javax.swing.JComponent;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;

/**
Draws "HELLO".
*/
public class HelloComponent extends JComponent
{
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
{
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;

LetterH h = new LetterH();
LetterE e = new LetterE();
LetterL l1 = new LetterL();
LetterL l2 = new LetterL();
LetterO o = new LetterO();


LetterH.draw(g2);
LetterE.draw(g2);
LetterL1.draw(g2);
LetterL2.draw(g2);
LetterO.draw(g2);

None of you LetterX classes implements the method draw(Graphic g)

LetterH.draw(g2);
LetterE.draw(g2);
LetterL1.draw(g2);
LetterL2.draw(g2);
LetterO.draw(g2);


And difficult to be clearer than that





[ code]
class LetterH...
.....
[ /code]

would produce

are you refeering to the individual letter classes such as h e l l o

because to be honest i m not that skilled at this kinda stuff yet still learning and i have noi idea what would go into the individual classes

you are calling the draw() method of your LetterXXX class
These classes do not have a drw() method. The only method they have is a getLetter() method that returns a String

import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;





public class LetterH
{
public void draw(Graphics2D g2);
{
/**
Constructs a large letter H
*/

public Letter();

{
}

/**
Gets the large letter H
@return large letter H
*/
public String getLetter();
{
return "* *\n* *\n*****\n* *\n* *\n";
}
}
}
