Question

hey guys having this really simple problem but cant seem to figure out have to import this package called it but i have no idea where to put the actual folder on the mac, keeps on giving an error package does not exist, this is a really stupid question, but really have no idea what to do

here is the code (java) :

import it.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class pyramidColour
{           
  public static void main (String[] args)
  {
     int col1 = (int)(Math.random()*255+1);
     int col2 = (int)(Math.random()*255+1);
     int col3 = (int)(Math.random()*255+1);

     Color newCol = new Color (col1, col2, col3);

     Gogga bug= new Gogga();//creating the gogga
     Gogga(1,8);

     for (int i = 1; i <= 4; i ++)//loop for going up 
     {
        bug.move();
        bug.turnRight();
        bug.move();
        bug.turnLeft();
     }

     bug.setDirection(bug.DOWN);

     for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i ++)//loop for going down
     {         
        bug.move();
        bug.turnLeft();
        bug.move();
        bug.turnRight();         
     }

     bug.move();
     bug.turnRight();

     for (int i = 1; i <= 7; i ++)//loop for base of pyramid
     {
        bug.move();
     }         
  }
}

The next part of the project is putting the loops into a method, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

You have to include the classpath of the package in the java command :

java -cp .;<path to the it classes> pyramidColour

. before ; stand for current directory, where pyramidColour class is stored.

Edit : on Mac the delimiter is not ; but : (thanks Jesper)

If you are using an IDE (Eclipse, Netbeans) you can simply add the library in the project properties.
