The "cannot be applied given type" error in NetBeans usually occurs when there's a mismatch between the method or constructor parameters and the arguments you're passing. Here are some steps to help you fix this error:
Check Parameter Types: Ensure that the types of the parameters you're passing match the types expected by the method or constructor. For example, if a method expects an int, make sure you're not passing a String.
Verify Method Signature: Double-check the method signature to ensure you're using the correct method with the appropriate parameters. Sometimes, there might be overloaded methods with similar names but different parameter lists.
Correct Order of Arguments: Ensure that the arguments are passed in the correct order as defined by the method signature. The order of parameters matters in Java.
Constructor Issues: If the error is with a constructor, make sure you're passing the correct number of arguments and that they match the constructor's parameter list.
Check for Overloaded Methods: If there are overloaded methods, ensure you're calling the correct one with the appropriate parameters.
Use Autocomplete: Utilize NetBeans' autocomplete feature to help you correctly match method calls and parameters.
