Help - Doesn't compile

[Rajesh]

Hello There

Could someone please tell me why the program below doesn't compile. I have
declared a class called Methods but when I try to use it, I get a compile
error saying '(' or '[' expected.

Thanks in advance,

Rajesh

---------------------------------

class Test {
class Methods {
void methodCallOne(int i) {
System.out.println("Enter methodCallOne...") ;
System.out.println("i = " + i) ;
i = i + 5 ;
System.out.println("i (+5) = " + i) ;
System.out.println("Leave methodCallOne...") ;
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
int i = 10 ;

Methods myMethods = new Methods ;
// myMethods.methodCallOne(i) ;
System.out.println("i = " + i) ;
}
}

---------------------------------

I'm not quite sure what you are trying to accomplish...but here are a few things that I change to make it compile:

1. you have two classes...Test and Methods...I believe you only want Methods
2. thus you have an extra bracket after methodCallOne
3. when you construct a new Method, you must have the open and close par.

Copy and Paste what I have below...it should compile.


// class Test {
class Methods {

void methodCallOne(int i) {
System.out.println("Enter methodCallOne...") ;
System.out.println("i = " + i) ;
i = i + 5 ;
System.out.println("i (+5) = " + i) ;
System.out.println("Leave methodCallOne...") ;
}
// }
public static void main(String[] args) {
int i = 10 ;
Methods myMethods = new Methods();
myMethods.methodCallOne(i) ;
System.out.println("i = " + i) ;
}
}

Rajesh,

Methods myMethods = new Methods ;

should be

Methods myMethods = new Methods();

Good luck.

Hello Rajesh,
Methods is an inner class of Test.
Methods is not static.
You can't reference a non-static member from a static method.
You have to create an instance of Methods with an enclosing instance of Test.
Use the following statement to create it.
Methods myMethods = new Test().new Methods();
Let me know if this helps. Ric
