title: Java account class program
body: <p>I have wrote this program over and over again, can someone please tell me what I am missing, it looks like its a small error I am not catching. </p>
  
  <p>Here is what I am trying to accomplish:</p>
  
  <p>Design a class named Account that contains:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>A private int data field named id for the account(default 0)</li>
  <li>A private double data field named balance for the account (default 0) </li>
  <li>A private double data field named annualInterestRate that stores the
  current interest rate (default 0). Assume all accounts have the same
  interest rate. </li>
  <li>A private Date data field named dateCreated that stores the date when the account was created. A no-arg constructor that creates a default account. </li>
  <li>A constructor that creates an account
  with the specific id and initial balance. </li>
  <li>The accessor and mutator methods for id, balance, and annualInterestRate. </li>
  <li>The accessor method for dateCreated </li>
  <li>A method named getMonthlyInterestRate() that returns the monthly interest rate. </li>
  <li>A method named withdraw that withdraws a specified amount from the account A method named deposit that deposits a specified amount to the account. </li>
  <li>Write a test program that
  creates an Account object with an account ID of 1122, a balance of
  $20,000, and an annual interest rate of 4.5%. Use the withdraw method
  to withdraw $2,500, use the deposit method to deposit $3,000 and
  print the balanace, the monthly interest, and the date when this
  account was created.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>Here is what I have so far:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>import java.util.Date;
  
  public class Assign22 {
  
  public static void main(String[] args) {
      // TODO Auto-generated method stub
  
  Account account1 = new Account(1122, 20000, .045);
  account1.withdraw(2500);
  account1.deposit(3000);
  System.out.println("Date Created:" + java.util.Date dateCreated = new java.util.Date());
  System.out.println("Account ID:" + account1.id);
  System.out.println("Balance:" + account1.getBalance());
  System.out.println("Interest Rate:" + account1.getAnnualInterestRate());
  System.out.println("Balance after withdraw of 2500:" +       account1.getAnnualInterestRate());
  System.out.println("Balance after deposit of 3000:" + account1.getAnnualInterestRate());
  System.out.println("Monthly Interest:" + account1.id);
  
  System.out.println("Process completed.");
  }
  
  class Account {
  //define variables
  private int id;
  private double balance; // balance for account
  private double annualInterestRate; //stores the current interest rate
  private Date dateCreated; //stores the date account created
  
  //no arg construtor
  Account () {
      id = 0;
      balance = 0.0;
      annualInterestRate = 0.0;
  }
  //constructor with specific id and initial balance
  Account(int newId, double newBalance) {
      id = newId;
      balance = newBalance;
  }
  Account(int newId, double newBalance, double newAnnualInterestRate) {
      id = newId;
      balance = newBalance;
      annualInterestRate = newAnnualInterestRate;
  }
  //accessor/mutator methods for id, balance, and annualInterestRate
  public int getId() {
      return id;
  }
  public double getBalance() {
      return balance;
  }
  public double getAnnualInterestRate() {
      return annualInterestRate;
  }
  public void setId(int newId) {
      id = newId;
  }
  public void setBalance(double newBalance) {
      balance = newBalance;
  }
  public void setAnnualInterestRate(double newAnnualInterestRate) {
      annualInterestRate = newAnnualInterestRate;
  }
  //accessor method for dateCreated
  public void setDateCreated(Date newDateCreated) {
      dateCreated = newDateCreated;
  }
  //define method getMonthlyInterestRate
  double getMonthlyInterestRate() {
      return annualInterestRate/12;
  }
  //define method withdraw
  double withdraw(double amount) {
      return balance -= amount;
  }   
  //define method deposit
  double deposit(double amount) {
      return balance += amount;   
  }
  }
  
  }

  <p><strong>This is the error that I am receiving: Not sure what I missed here:</strong></p>
  
  <p>"Syntax error on token "Date", , expected after this token dateCreated cannot be resolved to a variable at Assign22.main(Assign22.java:12)"</p>
