Question

I have posted the solution for Chapter 8 exercise two, of Java Programming, Joyce Farrell 8th Editionafter several hours of my program not working and it keeps telling me I have an error that cannot find or load main class. I copied the solution exactly, after several days of my not working. It saids, " DistanceFromAverage.java:22: error: 'else' without 'if'
else
^
1 error
Error: Could not find or load main class DistanceFromAverage

" I have a test and another assignment and have spent way too much time on this one error. can you help?

Explanation / Answer

The first error " DistanceFromAverage.java:22: error: 'else' without 'if'

It is because, you have provided the else block without the if block. In the if-else condition, you first need to mention the if condition, then the end if condition ( if any ) and at the last mention else condition.

So, the structure is

if( condition )

{

}

else if( condition )

{

}

else

{

}

The second error Error: Could not find or load main class DistanceFromAverage

It may be bacause the name of the class is not DistanceFromAverage. There could be a spelling mistake or the class name is something else.
