WHY DOES IT SAY 'cannot find symbol - class LocalDate' WHEN I TRY TO COMPILE

question;

Modify the supplied book shop system to include a private instance variable called publishDate in class Book to represent when the book was published. Use LocalDate as the variable type. Use a static variable in the Book class to automatically assign each new book a unique (incremental) id number. Create an array of Book variables to store references to the various book objects. In a loop, calculate the cost of each book type and the sum total of the order. If the book is of classic type and is more than 50 years old, give the cost a 35% discount. If the book is of novel or education type and is more than 5 years old, give the cost a 12% discount. Change the cost() method in all sub-classes of Book to throw a user defined Exception if the total cost is less than zero. This exception should print an error message showing the details of the problem. Modify the Test class to be able to handle exceptions. When an exception is encountered while calculating the cost of a book, the Test class should print out the error message and continue as normal with the next books. This implementation shoud be tested by creating books with negative cost.
