I am not able to create / instantiate a new class with text pad:
example - // Create an empty account
Account my_account = new Account();

I am having this compile error:
F:\java3\wk3\AccountDemo.java:13: cannot find symbol
symbol : class Account
location: class AccountDemo
Account my_account = new Account();

Textpad is an editor. The Java Compiler is the compiler and any error messages or anything else the java compiler tells you is from the java compiler, not Textpad.

Code: Select all

F:\java3\wk3\AccountDemo.java:13: cannot find symbol
symbol  : class Account
location: class AccountDemo
Account my_account = new Account();

So where is Account ? in the same file or in another file ....

What you are doing here is instantiating an Account thingamabobwhatchamacallit and that will have to be defined somewhere.
