')' expected error

If you are sure that the error is in that class reduce it until it works then start adding things in slowly until you get an error. That way you don't rely on anyone else, and more importantly you will notice the error and be less likely to make it yourself (At least that works for me )

*Note* also writing the actual error helps out immensly. They didn't write out different errors for everything just for you to write "It gave an error." Those errors mean something.

thanks, i fixed that error, now i am getting another one further up. i might as well post the entire code, which isnt a lot. there error now says "cannot find symbol class cake". Below the initial code is my class.

public class Rogers_Jim_Cakes_Methods {

public static void main(String [] args) {

int input;

int cake;

int cakeType;

int menuSelection;

cake yummyCake = new cake();

//System.out.println("0. Exit");

//int menuSelection = System.inInt();

//System.out.println(menuSelection);

do

{

System.out.println("Cake Menu");

System.out.println(".......................");

System.out.println("1. Pumpkin Cheesecake");

System.out.println("2. Easy Chocolate Snack Cake");

System.out.println("3. Fruit Cocktail Upside Down Cake");

System.out.println("0. Exit");

System.out.println("Please select a cake number or enter 0 to exit: ");

//menuSelection = input.nextInt();

cakeType=menuSelection;

switch(menuSelection)

{

case 1:

System.out.println("Selection 1: \n2(8 ounce) packages cream cheese" + " \n3/4 cup white sugar " + "\n1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree" + "\n1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon" + "\n1/2 teaspoon ground ginger" + "\n1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg" + "\n2 eggs" + "\n1/4 teaspoon salt" + "\n2 prepared 8 inch pastry shells");

yummyCake.yummy(cakeType);

break;

case 2:

System.out.println("Selection 2: \n1/3 cup vegetable oil" + "\n2 squares unsweetened chocolate" + "\n3/4 cup water" + "\n1 cup sugar" + "\n1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour" + "\n1/2 teaspoon salt" + "\n1/2 teaspoon baking soda" + "\n1 teaspoon vanilla" + "\n1 cup semisweet chocolate chips" + "\n1/3 cup chopped pecans");

yummyCake.yummy(cakeType);

break;

case 3:

System.out.println("Selection 3: \n2 tablespoons butter" + "\n1/4 cup light brown sugar" + "\n1 cup fruit cocktail, drained" + "\n1 cup sifted cake flour" + "\n1 teaspoon baking powder" + "\n1/4 teaspoon salt" + "\n4 eggs, separated" + "\n1 cup granulated sugar" + "\n1/4 cup cold water" + "\n1 teaspoon vanilla");

yummyCake.yummy(cakeType);

break;

case 0:

System.out.println("Selection 0");

yummyCake.yummy(cakeType);

break;

}

}while (menuSelection!=0);

System.out.println("Adios, you fat bastard!");

}

}

Code for class:

public class Rogers_Jim_Cakes {

public void Cakes() {

}

public void yummy(int cakeToMake){

System.out.println("Cake Made." + cakeToMake);

}

}
