I have two help requests.

I just started doing some java, and I stumbled apon these two errors that i cannot seem to fix:

1.

public class TimeDemo {
public static void main (String[] arg) {
Time t1 = new Time(); //creates a new time object
Time t2 = new Time(); //creates a new time object
int a=17, b=8, c=20;
t1.set(a, b, c); //put the time 17:08:20 in t1
t2.set(23, 59, 59); //put the time 23:59:59 in t2
t1.tick(); //increment t1 by one second
t2.tick(); //increment t2 by one second
t2.tick(); //increment t2 by one second
String s1 = t1.toString(); //s1 gets the value "17:8:21"
String s2 = t2.toString(); //s2 gets the value "0:0:1"
System.out.println(s1); //print s1
System.out.println(s2); //print s2
}
}

This one is written exact in the book, and it does not recognize the "Time" variable.

2.
public class Time {
//instance variables:
private int h, m, s;
private boolean showSec = true;

//methods:
public void set (int hour, int min, int sec) {
//check that the time is OK:
if (hour>=0 && hour<24 && min>=0 && min<60 && sec>=0 && sec<60){
h=hour; m=min; s=second;
}
else
System.out.println("Illegal Time");
}
public void setShowSec(boolean show) {
showSec = show;
}
public int getHour() {
return h;
}
public int getMin() {
return m;
}
public int getSec() {
return s;
}
public void tick() { // moves the time forwars one second:
s = s+1;
if (s == 60) {
m = 0;
h = h+1;
}
if (m == 60) {
m = 0;
h = h+1;
}
if (h == 24) {
h = 0;
}

public String toString () { //returns "hh:mm:ss"
String t = h + ":" + m; // or "hh:mm"
if (showSec)
t = t + ":" + s;
return t;
}

This one gives me the error:
"Illegal start of operation" Line 41
and
"';' is expected" Line 46

1. Use CODE tags when posting source code here.
2. Time is not a variable, it is a class. You are trying to make an instance of that class (or create an object) with new Time()
3. You are missing the closing brackets for the tick() method and the Time class
4. In the set() method, change s=second to s=sec

Ah thanks. Didnt see the bracket I was missing. Sorry i didnt use the CODE tags.
