    <p>i am writing a program that calculates the amount saved for someone bying a car. i have two classes the first one called called Carsavings2 compiles fine however the second class Crsavings3 seems to keep coming up with an error which says can not find symbol on the line where i am trying to instantiate the other class. i am new to java so its probably sumthin daft but i can not figure it out. Any help would be great here is how the code looks for both cladsses</p> <pre><code>import java.util.Scanner; import java.lang.Math; public class Carsavings3 { public static void main(String[] args) { double equalAmounts, l, amount, numberOfYears, carCost; Carsavings2 Carsavings2Object = new Carsavings2(equalAmounts, l, amount, numberOfYears, carCost); Scanner read = new Scanner(System.in); do { //This will print out a request for the user System.out.println("Please input the cost of the car, a real number 0 or greater\n"); //This will ensure the input value will remain between 0 and above carCost = read.nextDouble(); } while (carCost &lt;=1); do { //This will print out a request for the user System.out.println("Please input number of years, an integer between 1 and 10\n"); //This will ensure the input value will remain between 1 and 10 numberOfYears = read.nextDouble();} while ((numberOfYears&lt;1)||(numberOfYears&gt;10)); } } </code></pre> <p>/<em>the errors i am getting are as follows</em>/</p> <pre><code>C:\Users\User\Documents\imran&gt;javac Carsavings3.java Carsavings3.java:22: error: cannot find symbol carCost = read.nextdouble(); } while (carCost &lt;=1); ^ symbol: method nextdouble() location: variable read of type Scanner Carsavings3.java:28: error: cannot find symbol numberOfYears = read.nextdouble();} while ((numberOfYears&lt;1)||(n umberOfYears&gt;10)); ^ symbol: method nextdouble() location: variable read of type Scanner Carsavings3.java:30: error: cannot find symbol Carsavings2 Carsavings2Object = new Carsavings2(equalAmounts, l, amount, numberOfYears, carCost); ^ symbol: variable equalAmounts location: class Carsavings3 Carsavings3.java:30: error: cannot find symbol Carsavings2 Carsavings2Object = new Carsavings2(equalAmounts, l, amount, numberOfYears, carCost); ^ symbol: variable l location: class Carsavings3 Carsavings3.java:30: error: cannot find symbol Carsavings2 Carsavings2Object = new Carsavings2(equalAmounts, l, amount, numberOfYears, carCost); ^ symbol: variable amount location: class Carsavings3 Carsavings3.java:30: error: cannot find symbol Carsavings2 Carsavings2Object = new Carsavings2(equalAmounts, l, amount, numberOfYears, carCost); ^ symbol: variable numberOfYears location: class Carsavings3 Carsavings3.java:30: error: cannot find symbol Carsavings2 Carsavings2Object = new Carsavings2(equalAmounts, l, amount, numberOfYears, carCost); ^ symbol: variable carCost location: class Carsavings3 7 errors </code></pre> <p><em>the following class compiles fine with no errors</em></p> <pre><code>import java.util.Scanner; import java.lang.Math; public class Carsavings2 { //variables private double carCost; private double numberOfYears; //constructor public Carsavings2(double equalAmounts,double l,double amount, numberOfYears,double carCost){ } public void equalAmounts(double numberOfYears){ System.out.println("Equal Amount Method: \n\n"); int l; double amount; for(l=0;l&lt;=numberOfYears;l++){ amount = (carCost/numberOfYears); System.out.println("Year "+numberOfYears+" saved this year: " +amount+ "total saved: " +amount+ "remaining: " +carCost); } System.out.print("");} </code></pre> <p>} *any help would be greatly appreciated. i have been trying to figure it out for almost 4 hours now an just not getting any closer</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
