File 2: Cat.java

My Dear Nikihl nobody can terminate a class in java with semicolon.

Leave spelling mistake. Find the problem

Manju thank you. The editor was so, small i cannot differentiate between { and (.
Thanks. Your is Best Answer.

Answer 1

check out ur program cat.java
in the 4th line u used ')' instead of '}'
that is wht is causing errors...
i think this will clear those...

Answer 2

In line 4, Cat.java, replace the ")" with a "}".

New code looks like:

File 2 : Cat.java
public class Cat extends Animal {
public String noise() {
return "meow";
}
}

Answer 3

I think you also erred here::

public String noise() { return "back"; }

Shouldn't it be...

public String noise() { return "bark"; }

?

Answer 4

class declaration shuold be terminated by semi colon
class A
{
...
}; <--//Note this
