Question

Create a class named TVShow.java. Data Fields can include a String containing the Name of the show, a String containing the day that the show is broadcast(i.e. “Monday”) and an integer for the channel where the show can be viewed. Methods will include a constructor that requires values for all of the data fields, plus methods to get, set and display the values of the data fields. Create a UseTVShow.java file that prompts the user to input up to 5 TV shows and stores the data in an array of objects first, then displays them as a list.

When I compile the UseTVShow file i get an
UseTvShow.java:28: cannot find symbol
symbol : constructor TvShow(java.lang.String,java.lang.String,int)
location: class TvShow
someShow[x] = new TvShow(name, day, channel);

here is my code:

import javax.swing.*;

public class UseTvShow
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String name;
String day;
String schannel;
int channel;
//changed to 2 to make it easier to test
TvShow[] someShow = new TvShow[2];
int x = 1;

for(x = 0; x < someShow.length; ++x)
{
name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Enter Show Name " + (x+1));
day = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Enter Show Day " + (x+1));
schannel = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Enter Show Channel " + (x+1));
channel = Integer.parseInt(schannel);


//this only complies with no parameters, but produces null. I get "cannot find symbol" error. I cant figure out why.
someShow[x] = new TvShow(name, day, channel);
}

for(x = 0; x < someShow.length; ++x)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Show Name: " + someShow[x].getShowName() + " Show Day: " + someShow[x].getShowDay() +
" Show Channel: " + someShow[x].getShowChannel());
}
}



public class TvShow
{
private String showName;
private String showDay;
private int showChannel;


public void TvShow(String name, String day, int channel)
{
showName = name;
showDay = day;
showChannel = channel;

}

public String getShowName()
{
return showName;
}

public String getShowDay()
{
return showDay;
}

public int getShowChannel()
{
return showChannel;
}

public void setShowName(String sName)
{
showName = sName;
}

public void setShowDay(String dName)
{
showDay = dName;
}

public void setShowChannel(int chNum)
{
showChannel = chNum;
}

}

Thanks!
