    <p>Hey there, I'm stuck. I've got this hw assignment with 2 problems in the code that I'm at a loss on how to fix. The assignment is mostly nonsense:</p> <pre><code>import java.util.*; class Business { private String name, phone; private int employees, age; void Business(){ name = "Foo Inc."; phone = ""; employees = 0; age = 0; System.out.println("In default constructor!"); printVals(); } void Business(String name, String phone, int employees){ System.out.printf("%s %s %d\n", name, phone, employees); this.name = name; this.phone = phone; this.employees = employees; this.age = 0; System.out.println("In constructor!"); printVals(); } void printVals(){ System.out.printf("name: %s\n", name); System.out.printf("phone: %s\n", phone); System.out.printf("employees: %d\n", employees); System.out.printf("age: %d\n", age); } public static void main(String [] args) { Business[] mall = new Business[5]; String[] names = {"The Gap", "Savers", "Academy of Salon Professionals", "Ron's Farmhouse"}; String[] phones = {"555-555-5555", "555-555-5556", "555-555-5557", "555-555-5558"}; int[] emps = {20, 24, 75, 32}; int i, num = 4; mall[num - 1] = new Business(); for(i = 0; i &lt; num; i++){ mall[i] = new Business(names[i], phones[i], emps[i]); System.out.printf("init Business: %s %s %d\n", names[i], phones[i], emps[i]); } } } </code></pre> <p>And here's the output error from javac:</p> <pre><code>Business.java:51: cannot find symbol symbol : constructor Business(java.lang.String,java.lang.String,int) location: class Business mall[i] = new Business(names[i], phones[i], emps[i]); ^ 1 error </code></pre> <p>I don't see why it's tell me it can't find the constructor. As far as I can tell, the parameters are the same...</p> <p>Let's say I comment out the parameters of the Business() calls, such that it's only calling the default constructor. At least that way it compiles, but then, none of the System.out.print*'s from within the methods will print anything!</p> <p>Any help would be appreciated.</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.
