Difficulty using removeCharAt() in java
<p>I'm trying to compile my code and I'm receiving the following error:</p>

<pre><code>Project3.java:228: error: cannot find symbol
       tokens[k] = removeCharAt(0, tokens[k]);
                   ^
symbol:   method removeCharAt(int,String)
location: class Project3
1 error
</code></pre>

<p>I can't figure out how to apply <code>removeCharAt</code>, here is my code:</p>

<pre><code>import java.io.IOException;

                                                               Boat Class

    by: Joseph King

    The Boat class is a superclass for the Raceboat and SailBoat classes.  The class is composed of the following:

    The boat name

    A boolean speed variable

    A method to name the boat

    A method to launch the boat and print the name

    An abstract method to go faster

    A method to increase speed

    An abstract method to go slower

    A method to decrease speed

    An abstract method to indicate the boat's speed state

abstract class Boat{

    String boatName = (" ");
    boolean addSpeed = false;

    void christenBoat(String name){

        boatName = name;

    }

    void launchBoat(){

        System.out.println("The " + boatName + " is ready to launch...\n");

    }

    public abstract void goFast();

    by: Joseph King

    The SailBoat class is a subclass for the Boat Class.  The class modifies the Boat Class as follows:

    The go fast method indicates that sail boats go faster by raising the main sail

    The go slow method indicates that sail boats go slower by lowering the main sail

    The final method checks if the sail boat is going fast or slow and indicates the appropriate message

    The RaceBoat class is a subclass for the Boat Class.  The class modifies the Boat Class as follows:

    The go fast method indicates that race boats go faster by increasing the throttle

    The go slow method indicates that race boats go slower by decreasing the throttle

                                                            Project3 Class

    by: Joseph King

    This class contains the main class for the program, the algorithm is as follows:

    Create references for the boat array, characters for the first and second letter and an index

    The array is then created

    The program then checks to ensure if any args parameters were supplied at the command line

    If not, it prints a statement and terminates the program

    If so the program continues and enters a loop which

    Isolates the first letter in the args parameter and ensures it is a capital letter

    If a 'B', 'C' or 'N' a race boat is created

    If not a sail boat is created

    It then isolates the second letter in the args parameter and ensures it is a capital letter

    If an 'A' or an 'E' the boat increases it speed

    If not it decreases its speed

    The program then prints out the name and state of the boat and goes back to the beginning of the loop until all args parameters are processed

    Once the loop is completed the program ends
