error section is marked in the attachment.thank in advance.

The error essage means that your class Bookshop needs the method actionPerformed, but you did not provide one. Instead, you provided one for class Product that does not need one. So just move the method actionPerformed to the right class.

BookShop extends JFrame, and jFrame defines the abstract method actionPerformed. So the error message says that all classes that extend JFrame must either define an own abstract method actionPerformed, or implement this method.
