I am new to Java programming and I have been working out of a book trying to learn the language. I am working on a Ubuntu system using Eclipse. I get an error when I try to run this app. It is: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main. I have Googled it and read different possible solutions, but none have helped. Can someone help me solve this?
Here is the code for battleshipGameTestDrive.java:_
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class battleshipGameTestDrive
{
public static void main(String[] args, ArrayList<String> locations)
{
int numOfGuesses = 0;
boolean isAlive = true;
GameHelper helper = new GameHelper();
battleshipGame ship = new battleshipGame();
for (int ctr = 1; ctr < 4; ctr++)
{
int randomNum = (int) (Math.random() * 5);
locations.add(Integer.toString(randomNum));
}
ship.setLocationCells(locations);
while (isAlive == true){
String userGuess = helper.getUserInput("Enter a number (1-7): ");
numOfGuesses++;
String result = ship.checkYourself(userGuess);
if (result.equals("kill")){
isAlive = false;
System.out.println("You took " + numOfGuesses + " guesses");
} // close result if
} //end while loop
}// end of main
}// end of battleshipGameTestDrive class
Here is the code for the battleshipGame class.java:_
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class battleshipGame {
private ArrayList<String> locationCells;
public void setLocationCells(ArrayList<String> loc){
locationCells = loc;
}
public String checkYourself(String userInput){
String result = "miss";
int index = locationCells.indexOf(userInput);
if (index >= 0){
locationCells.remove(index);
if (locationCells.isEmpty()){
result = "kill";
}else{
result = "hit";
}// close if
}// closer outer if
return result;
} //close method
} //close class
