I'm currently a Teacher's Assistant for a class that uses Java. I'm trying to write a snippet of code that will test to make sure that student's methods are correct, but often times the student won't even implement the method, or they'll call it something incorrect, which obviously will cause a Unresolved Compilation problem when my test code is run. Is there a way to catch this error during runtime, so that my test code can execute without having to play around with the code submitted by the student?

If the brackets don't all match up, the result is a compile time error. The fix to this compile error is to add a leading round bracket after the println to make the error go away: int x = 10; System.
Compiler errors are due to inaccuracies in code, where the compiler throws an error to alert you to something which will not compile, and therefore cannot be run. An example of a compiler error would be: int = "this is not an int"; Hope that helps.
Compilation error refers to a state when a compiler fails to compile a piece of computer program source code, either due to errors in the code, or, more unusually, due to errors in the compiler itself. A compilation error message often helps programmers debugging the source code.
If I were a TA, I would write some unit tests and tell the students to make the test pass. Get them into testing early on.
If the code doesn't compile, it doesn't make sense to detect that at runtime. You can't run if it won't compile.
