cannot find symbol

[erone47]

Code: if(selected[italic]){

Error: Can not find symbol
Symbol: variable italic

anyone have any ideas how to solve this?
thanks

wow.
a very wild guess, based on what seems to be the error output :
could the error be related to the compiler not finding a symbol, said symbol would be called italic, by any chance?
did you declared a variable named italic in your code?
