Syntax Error

What This Error Means

This error occurs when Java cannot find a declared class or method. In this case, it's because the class 'ConfigReader' does not exist in the 'com.example' package.

Why It Happens

This error typically happens when there's a typo in the import statement, the class or method does not exist, or the package structure is incorrect. In this case, the 'com.example.ConfigReader' class does not exist, causing the 'Cannot find symbol' error.

How to Fix It

1. 1To fix this error, make sure the 'ConfigReader' class exists in the 'com.example' package. If it does, check for any typos in the import statement or the class name. If the class does not exist, create it in the correct package and make sure it has the necessary methods.

Example Code Solution

import com.example.ConfigReader;
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Config config = new ConfigReader().getConfig();
    }
}

import com.example.ConfigReader;
public class ConfigReader {
    public Config getConfig() {
        // implement getConfig method here
    }
}

import com.example.ConfigReader;
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Config config = new ConfigReader().getConfig();
    }
}
