In this Tutorial we want to describe you a code that help you in understanding java error cannot made symbol. For this we have a class name 'cannot find symbol'. Inside the main method we have initialized a int variable a and b with respective values and store the sum of the value in variable int d.The System.out.println. is used to print the output in variable d in the try block. But in this code the programmer misspelled the variable.,inspite of writing d,the programmer write variable e,The catch block helps you in handling the error occurred in the try block. Therefore the compiler does not recognize a variable e show you an error Java error cannot find symbol.
