Java Inventory Array
I am trying to create a small program for class that allows the user to enter and store inventory items. I am supposed to update it now to store and display multiple items and add a subclass, but I can not get the first part to compile yet. On this part im getting an error message -
cannot find symbol
symbol : class Item
location : class WorkInventory
I am not understanding much of this java programming and am looking for any help I can find in getting a grasp of it.
The code for my program is as follows,
//WorkInventory.java
//Java Inventory Work Products
publicclass WorkInventory
{
// main methods begins execution of java application
publicstaticvoid main( String args[])
{
Item myProduct =new Item();
System.out.println("\n\nItem Name: "+myProduct.getItemName());//display item name
System.out.println("Item Number: "+myProduct.getItemNumber());//display item number
System.out.println("Quantity in Stock:"+myProduct.getStockQuantity());//display quantity in stock
System.out.println("Item Price:$ "+myProduct.getItemPrice());//display item price
System.out.println("Value of Inventory:$ "+myProduct.calculateInventoryValue());//display total value of inventory for this item
System.out.println("\n\nEnter item name or enter the word stop to quit:");//prompt
//myProduct.setItemName(input.next()); // read item name or stop
}// end main method
}//end class WorkInventory
if anyone can offer me any advice it would be greatly appreciated

Ok, this is about as basic as I can get and still understand what I am doing. The program is supposed to ask for item name, item number , quantity and price and then calculate the value of the item. After this, I am supposed to use an array to store and display multiple items, but I can not even get this far. I have started back at the very basics, where should I go from here?// InventoryX.java
// Inventory Program
import java.util.scanner;
public class InventoryX
{
//main method begins program
public static void main( String args [] )
{
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Item Name:");//enter item name
itemName = input.nextString();
System.out.println("Item Number:");//enter item number
itemNumber= input.nextInt();
System.out.println("Quantity in Stock:");//quantity of item
itemQuantity = input.nextInt();
System.out.println("Item Price:");//price of item
itemPrice = input.nextDouble();
itemValue=itemQuantity * itemPrice
System.out.println("Value of Item in Stock is",
itemValue);//display value of stock for item
}// end main method
} end class InventoryX
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have been unable to learn this from the reading assignments and have no hands on instructor to show me examples.

It's not enough to just start at the basics, you have to continue on. We can correct your mistakes here, but we can't teach you Java. You must teach yourself. Continue on in the tutorials and in your book til you get a grasp of basic Java. This is going to take a lot of work on your part, but with effort is not impossible. Good luck.
