Compilation Error Posted: Mar 14, 2004 11:23 PM

I get the error below when I try to compile files that use the monitor.expect(String) method. If I comment out that code everything compiles fine. I originally thought I had the wrong classpath setting but that's not the case. It finds the file - just not the method that uses the string params. Anyone have an idea?


HERE'S THE ERROR...

C:\Multimedia\Books\ThinkingInJavaEdition3\SampleCode\c06\FinalOverri dingIllusion.java:53: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : method expect (java.lang.String[])
location: class Test
monitor.expect(new String[] {

This is because there may not be the method
expect.

Error says

u are callin expect by pasing variabls array os String

public void? expect (java.lang.String[]);

Check that the method expect exist with the same signature like the call,

String and String[] are not the same thing. A String[] is an array for Strings*, it is NOT a String itself. It appears from your error message that you are trying to send the method a String array. Perhaps it just needs a String. Try something like this.
String[] myArray = new String[] {"Bob", "Sally", "Fred"};
monitor.expect(myArray[1]); //sends "Sally"

* Technically, an array of objects, including Strings, holds references to the objects, not the objects themselves. And there is no guarantee that an array of objects has any objects in it.
