Cannot find symbol error on java?

I am getting this error:

   symbol  : constructor JTable(float[][],java.lang.String[])

    table = new JTable(dataValues, columnNames );

below is the code

The constructor of JTable expects the arguments (Object[][] rowData, Object[] columnNames). So when calling that constructor you need to call it with values of that types.

Passing String[] as Object[] is no problem (because a String is an Object, but passing float[][] as Object[][] is not valid (because a float is not an Object).

With Java5 the "boxing" of primitive type (like float) into wrapper objects (like Float) became possible. This means, that Float a = 0.1f; is valid. However boxing is not available for arrays.

Probably the best solution for your problem is to change your variable dataValues to type Float[][].

---

You can't use a multidimensional array of primitive types. You need to use a multidimensional array of objects.

This is invalid:

float[][] arr;

This is valid:

Float[][] arr;

---

float is a primitive type, not an object.

---

See the Javadocs. You probably need to make a Float[][] (the object)

---

JTable class really does not have constructor that accepts 2 dimensional float array and regular string array. It has constructor

JTable(Object[], String[])

So, just change

float dataValues[][]= new float [1][10];

to

Object dataValues[][]= new Object [1][10];

and enjoy. Say "thanks" to autoboxing...

JTable(Object[][] rowData, Object[] columnNames) 

http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/swing/JTable.html

Constructs a JTable to display the values in the two dimensional array, rowData, with column names, columnNames.

As stated already, constructor takes object, you can't pass primitive multidimensional array.

---

There is no matching constructor for JTable which expects the first parameter to extend Object[][]. float is a primitive type and does not extend Object. Float is an object which does. Use it instead.
