Explanation / Answer

Hi, I have made small change in Ballots.java file. It working fine now. Changes highlighted in bold. you should specifiy th return type while defining any method. In our case, you have forgotten to mention return type as void.

Assig4.java

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class Assig4{
public static void main(String []args){
System.out.println("Please enter the Ballots file you are using (.txt included).");
String ballotFile;
Scanner bal = new Scanner(System.in);
ballotFile = bal.nextLine();
Ballots bl = new Ballots();
bl.ballots(ballotFile);

}
}

Ballots.java

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class Ballots{
public void ballots(String ballotFile){

System.out.println("You have made small progress.");
}
}

Output:

Please enter the Ballots file you are using (.txt included).
D:\test.txt
You have made small progress.
