Calling A Method From Main
Jan 26, 2014
The idea is to create a program to add plants and retrieve plants from a Nursery. I created a class with the properties of the plants and also there is the class an Array list to keep track of the plants entered ( they will have to be printed later) (I am not too sure if adding a public class there is the best option.
The program will allow the user to pick and action and from there the code will do something. I don't want to have all the code inside 'main' The problem is in line 114.This is what I have so far.
Java Code:
package plant.nursery;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Scanner;
/**Class to create a plant for a nursery.
public class PlantNursery
[code]....

I'm trying to call a method to my main method, but I can't seem to get it to work and it keeps resulting in a compile error.

I have been reading about methods and I do have a beginner level understanding on how they work. I was trying to mess around and make a dog calculator using methods. I ran into a small snag; I cannot get the method to call to the main or the program to compile correctly. The first code below is the original. To me it looks like (based off of some examples I looked at) there should be no problems, but NetBeans gives me a few errors. 1) line 8- "cannot find symbol, variable dogYearCalc; 2) line 18 illegal start of expression; and 3) line 22 - unreachable statement.
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class KrisExample {
public static void main (String[] args) {
double dogYears = 0;
JOptionPane.showInputDialog (null,"Please enter you dog's age in human years:");
[Code] ....
Someone told me that I was calling dogYearCalc without any arguments in your main method. I take that to mean that I needed to add it to the main, so I did here:
public static void main (String[] args, double dogYearCalc) {
That got rid of my first error, but then when I tried to run the program NetBeans said that I have no main class, so switched back to the original program above.
I thought that when I calling the dogYearCalc method on line 10 was the whole purpose of using a method. It seems to me that putting it somewhere in the main is counter productive.

Can we recall the main method? I'm trying a code to recall main method (after the calling of JVM). I know this doesn't make any sense but I'm trying this just like that.
Code:
class derived {
public static void main(String args[]) {
System.out.println("Main Method class");
show();
}
static void show()
[code]....

When I try to call an object it can't find the symbol in the argument list. NetBeans says that it cannot find the movieCategory symbol when I try to call it. When I compile it to test a popup comes up that states "One or more projects were compiled with errors. Application you are running may end unexpectedly. I ran it anyways and everything runs up to the point of where it should call the object.
At this point it should get the Movie object and run the code within that, but if I put one of the categories it throws. "Exception in thread "main" java. lang.RuntimeException: Uncompilable source code - Erroneous tree type: <any>at MovieApp.main(MovieApp.java:33)Java Result: 1"
From my understanding to call an object it requires objectName.methodName(argumentList). Here is my Main method
/**
*This application will store a list of 100 movies and display them by category
*/
import java.util.Scanner;
public class MovieApp
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
//Displays <code>String</code> welcome message
System.out.println("Welcome to the Movie Application.");
System.out.println("There are 100 movies in the list.");
System.out.println("What category are you interested in?");
System.out.println();

This current one is to calculate a planes holding pattern. I have to write a method to prompt user to enter speed in knots, then it converts it to km/hr. Another method to calc. pattern width using the speed, another method to calc. pattern length, than a main method which would call and print out the speed in knots, speed in km, pattern width and length.My current problem is on the second method. It works in that I can enter the values and it gives me the correct answers, however it's asking me to enter the speed twice, instead of just once. Anything I try just results in errors and won't compile.
import java.util.Scanner ;
//main method
public class TitleRemoved {
public static void main(String[] args) {
double airSpeedKm = airSpeedOts () ;
System.out.println("That speed is " + airSpeedKm + " km/hr.") ;
[code].....
I want my code to not only work, but be organized and easily readable as well, so I want to avoid bad habits.

How should I call my findSmallest method in the main class.. Here is the code:
public class Tester {
public static void main(String[] args){
try {
BinaryTree<Integer> myTree2 = new BinaryTree<Integer>();
myTree2.insert(5);
myTree2.insert(2);
myTree2.insert(7);
[Code] ....
So the question is what kind of parameter I should pass in myTree2.findSmallest()??? Here is my findSmallest method..
public E findSmallest(Node<E> parent){
if(parent.left.left == null){
E returnValue = parent.left.data;
parent.left = parent.left.right;
return returnValue;
} else {
return findSmallest(parent.left);
}
}

// Add range to Vehicle.
class Vehicle {
int passengers; // number of passengers
int fuelcap; // fuel capacity in gallons
int mpg; // fuel consumption in miles per gallon
// Display the range.
void range() {
System.out.println("Range is " + fuelcap * mpg);

I'm compiling it in Eclipse and this continues to show in the console display

I can call a child method from a main method. If I have a parent called "Assessment", a child called "Quiz", and another child called "test". Can I instantiate an object like Assessment a = new test(); and call a method in test.
I know the method can be called if I instantiate the test t = new test() but that defeats the purpose of inheritance...

I have to write a method called censor that gets an array of strings from the user as an argument and then returns an array of strings that contains all of the original strings in the same order except those with length of 4. For example if cat, dog, moose, lazy, with was entered, then it would return the exact same thing except for the words with and lazy.
Currently, my code so far just prints [Ljava.lang.String;@38cfdf and im stuck.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class censorProgram {
public static void main (String args[]){
Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);
System.out.println ("How many words would you like to enter?");
int lineOfText = input.nextInt();
[Code] ....
I have to make new string array in the method and return words without four letters in the main method

This is a program from Head First Java! since main is static it shouldn't be able to call non-static methods because statics do not use any instance variable values but in the above program we're call a non-static method go() how is it possible?

I need to create an applet that displays a grid of command buttons which I have done. I then need to create a new class that draws a silly picture of an alien, which I have also done. Where I am completely stuck and confused, is that I do not know how to get the drawing into the applet. My code is below. I really do not fully understand why this is not working or how to get it working.

I am calling a method from within a class like so:
xmlWriter.updateFile(environment, doc);
The class is xmlWriter & the method is updateFile
updateFile passes Environment environment (another class) and Document doc (document builder)
but I am unsure about it passing these through the parameters in the method call..is it correct?
Also underneath that method call for the update could I then do another method call for the export method of the file?

I have a class for employees. This class has basic information for the employee but no real pay information. And 2 subclasses, one for employee's paid for hourly rates and one for those paid a yearly salary. Each subclass has their own pay() method, that calculates and returns their pay and extra fields relative to calculate that.
I'm just curious, if I do this and create an object for an hourly paid employee like so:
Object hourly1 = new HourlyEmployeeWilson("John Doe", "123 Tech Street",361961,"Human Resources", 0,12.50,50);
How can I utilize that classes public method of pay() to gather this instance (or hourly paid employee)'s pay? I've tried doing so via:
System.out.println(hourly1.pay());
But I get
DriverPayWilson.java:9: error: cannot find symbol
System.out.println(hourly1.pay());
^
symbol: method pay()
location: variable hourly1 of type Object
1 error

My issue is that I cannot call readFile() from the constructor, and I'm assuming that's because I throw Exception on readFile(). Is this a simple fix, or am I looking at it the wrong way?
