Inheritance not recognized now ......

Hello all,

I have a really peculiar problem today in that when I created 4 instances from an abstract class with one abstract method in it, it was working great yesterday....

Now when I revisited it and compiled it again, it gave me the infamous "cannot resolve symbol." message. :-(

I'm basically just creating 4 subclasses (Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts & Spades) from a Card superclass.


The error I'm getting is:

======================================

X:\jdk1.3.1_01\bin>javac Clubs.java
Clubs.java:50: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class Card
location: class Clubs
public class Clubs extends Card
^
Clubs.java:67: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : variable suitValue
location: class Clubs
return suitValue = "CLUB";
^
2 errors

======================================


Here's my Superclass...

/* -----------------------------------
- Card abstract class -
-----------------------------------*/

public abstract class Card

{
protected int mface;
protected String suitValue;


/** Creates new Card */
public Card()
{
mface = 1;
suitValue = "";
}

public void setFace (int theFace)
{
mface = theFace;
}

public int getFace ()
{
return mface;
}

public abstract String getSuit();

} // end of abstract Card class




/* ---------------------------------------
- One of my subclasses (Clubs) -
---------------------------------------*/


public class Clubs extends Card
{

/* ---- default constructor ----- */

public Clubs()
{
super();
}

/* ---- getSuit returned method ------*/

public String getSuit()
{
return suitValue = "CLUB";
}


} // end of Clubs Class scope


As far as I know, I haven't really changed anything to the best of my knowledge.

Any ideas as to what might be causing this to happen?

Thanks,

Christopher

Hello all,

I found out what the problem was and was able to fix it immediately ;-) ...

I don't know how but I took a chance at reseting my classpath and lo and behold, it not compiles..... don't know what happened to have a change in my classpath but its solved at least.

thanks,

Christopher
