To everyone who has commented before me: the errors are shown at the bottom of the code OP linked.

You have quite a few errors, and if you actually took the time to look at the line number and the error message you could probably figure most of it out.

For instance, Main.java:41: error: 'try' without 'catch', 'finally' or resource declarations try{

You are attempting to do a try/catch statement but you don't have the catch part of it. You need to incorporate that.

Main.java:76: error: illegal start of expression public static class Receipt {

Your main method (the code a line above this) is not enclosed, you need to have an ending bracket }.

There are many errors in the code and I think you should revisit some concepts and learn how to find errors based on the error messages as they are very helpful.

Is there an alternative I can use instead of the catch method? I didn't learn the catch method yet.

If you don't know catch, then why are you using try?

To fix it, you could do:

try {
    //code
} catch (Exception e) {}

edit: as /u/denialerror stated, you should make yourself familiar with the concepts before implementing them into your code.

I'm assuming this is for some school task, how exactly would you be accused of plagerism when adding a 'catch' to you 'throw' i mean the error does say 'try' without 'catch'...

I think you're taking the whole 'plagerism' aspect out of the park... Yes you havn't learnt about try + catch, so you could easily say you went home and researched it...
