Can anyone tell me why this program gets compile errors of:

This is not my assignment. I was simply looking to other forums for any programs that came close to what I am trying to do. And this one was the closest. But I was hoping to get this one to compile and run so that I could better understand how the use of the parallel arrays is working. I'm confused on it. Can anyone help fix the errors so that I can make it run.

I think you've declared a class Student (singular) and then tried to use a class Students (plural).....

ok corrected that but still get errors:

GoodStudentsScores.java:3: type ArrayList does not take parameters
private ArrayList<Student>data = new ArrayList<Student>();
^
GoodStudentsScores.java:3: type ArrayList does not take parameters
private ArrayList<Student>data = new ArrayList<Student>();
^
GoodStudentsScores.java:7: type ArrayList does not take parameters
data = new ArrayList<Student>();
^

Well, even though I couldn't get this example to work. I did manage to learn enough from it to get mine to compile and work. Thanks.

Is it compiling now?

My actual program was different than this but still used parallel arrays. I was trying to get this program(posted program) to compile so I could better understand thee functioning of the arrays. The example I posted I did not get to compile or run. But from studying the code, the use of the parallel arrays from class to class, helped me to better understand so that I could get mine to work.

I actually think the errors are happening from the instantiating of the Array as:

private ArrayList<Student>data = new ArrayList<Student>();

for my program I did mine as:

MallList listOne = new MallList(names, costs, stores);

and I placed it in my testing class to call the MallItem Class

Not exactly sure if that was the only problem with the posted program...

What JDK version are you using? The code

 
private ArrayList<Student>data = new ArrayList<Student>();
 

only compiles on JDK 1.5 or higher
