No matter what I change, program still runs what it said before...

[LogicWavelength]

OK... I need to change the button and my name to CENTER, the input to NORTH, and the green blocks to SOUTH. I did that.... but for some reason it keeps running the way I had it before... also if I change any text, it won't show up as different when I compile and run... for example if I changed the "Name: " label to "Happy: " then compile and run, it still says "Name: "


By the way, there is an external method, but it doesn't have anything to do with what I'm changing. I colored the areas I need to change... they are oriented the way I need them, but see how the program runs in the attached .jpg


This is due tonight... please somebody tell me what's wrong so I can fix it!

Probably too late for you, but the class you posted is called ReservationsRepositioned but the main(..) method is creating an instance of Reservations, which I guess is the original class...

Experience is a poor teacher: it gives its tests before it teaches its lessons...
