Static Method That Requires No Arguments And Returns No Value

Sep 30, 2014

I am doing a homework assignment and I am clueless as to what I did wrong or supposed to do in terms of placement of coding. If someone could dumb down their response and tell me what I did wrong

This is what I supposed to do:

1.) Type the following shell for the class:

public class ParadiseInfo
{
}

2.) Between curly braces of the class, indent a few spaces and create the shell for the main() method:

public static void main(String[] args)
{
}

3.) Between the braces of the main()Method, insert a call to the displayInfo() method:

displayInfo();

4.) Place the displayInfo() method outside of the main() method, just before the closing curly brace for the ParadiseInfo class:

public static void displayInfo()
{
system.out.println ("Paradise Day Spa wants to pamper you.");
system.out.println ("We will make you look good.");
}

This is what I attempted to do: I know it is wrong I am just clueless on where to put the code and why

public class ParadiseInfo
{
displayInfo();
public static void main(String[] args)
{
public static void displayInfo();
}
system.out.println("Paradise Day Spa wants to pamper you.");
system.out.println("We will make you look good.");
}

--- Update ---

I have also tried this:

public class ParadiseInfo
{
displayInfo();
public static void main(String[] args)
{
}
public static void displayInfo();
{

[Code]...

The very last attempt I only ended up with one error which is:

G:ParadiseInfo.java:3: error: invalid method declaration; return type required
displayInfo();
^
1 error

Tool completed with exit code 1

Java is very new to me and I have no clue on what I am doing wrong.

Creating Static Methods That Accepts Arguments And Returns A Value

Oct 7, 2014

This is titled "Creating static methods that accepts arguments and returns a value". I think that I understood everything about this except for the very bottom part of the code. I wasn't really sure where to put it. From the errors that I am seeing, I know which line is giving the errors but I'm not sure what is wrong with it.

import java.util.Scanner;
public class ParadiseInfo2{
public static void main(String[] args){
double price;
double discount;

[Code] ....

Errors:G:ParadiseInfo2.java:29: error: illegal start of expression
public static double computeDiscountInfo(double pr, double dscnt)

Instance Variables Passed In As Arguments To Static Methods?

Feb 19, 2011

I thought static methods could never use instance variables, because they wouldn't know which instance to look at.

From Head First Java, p. 284: "A static method is not associated with a particular instance - only the class - so it cannot access any instance variable values of its class. It wouldn't know which instance's values to use."

Now I was answering some mock exam questions from Cameron McKenzie's SCJA book, and I don't understand one of the options. On page 205, the last question has an option that says: "Instance variables ... are not visible in static methods, unless passed in as arguments." This option is supposed to be correct. Now... how does that work?

This is my code inside the method:

I use this code in Restlet Representation. I try to get the value from the Request API. But I am facing the problem as "Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method getQuery() from the type Resource".

Can Static Method Return Instances Of Same Class In Special Case Where Everything Is Static?

Jun 27, 2014

From what i understand static methods should be called without creating an instance of the same class . If so why would they return an instance of the same class like in the following : public static Location locateLargest(double[][] a) , the Location class being the same class where the method is defined . I don't understand this , does it mean that every field and every method in the class must be static ? Meaning that you cannot have instances of the class because everything is static . Or it's just a mistake and the class Location cannot have a static method: public static Location locateLargest(double[][] a) ?

Update User - Cannot Make Static Reference To Non-Static Method

Apr 26, 2015

I can't figure out what this error message "Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method getEndUserCharge(long, long, long, long) from the type UpdateUserWS" actually means.

The error is coming from:

public void updateDetailsPackage() {
some unrelated code
long zero=0;
double endUserCharge=0;
endUserCharge = UpdateUserWS.getEndUserCharge(long zero, long zero, long zero, long zero); <-------- error is here

Non-Static Method Cannot Be Called From Static Context Errors

Jul 27, 2014

I'm working on a banking program that is supposed to use 3 classes (Account-base class, CheckingAccount, and SavingsAccount) and several methods to display the banking information (ID, balance after a withdrawal and deposit, and the annual interest rate). This should be a pretty simple program, but I'm getting hung up on one portion of it. I'm getting some compiler errors, all of which deal with non-static variables being called from a static context (I'll also post these errors following the code). Up until the middle of last week, we just declared everything as static, but that's changed and I'm having trouble figuring out when to and when not to use static when declaring my methods, hence the compiler errors.

import java.util.Date;
public class Account {
private int id = 0;
private double balance = 0;
private double annualInterestRate = 0;
private Date dateCreated = new Date();

[Code] ....

Here are the compiler errors I am receiving:

Compilation completed. The following files were not compiled:

Writing A Method That Returns Words Without Four Letters Back To Main Method

May 27, 2014

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

How To Have Static Or Non-static Method Reference As Parameter

Nov 18, 2014

I had a TestColor class which contained methods to change hue, saturation, brightness, red, green, blue of TestColor's instances but also had static methods which take in an additional parameter for an instance of TestColor and returns the affected instance of TestColor. Now instead of having one method for every possible color effect to be applied to an image, how can I have one method that takes in an Image parameter, a static or non-static method reference from TestColor parameter and lastly an intensnity value parameter. This is so that I can make an affectedImage object instance inside the method and a Graphics2D object for drawing to each pixel of the new image, now I have one for loop and one nested for loop for the x and y pixels of width and height of the old image and inside the nested for loop I'd create a TestColor by calling getRGB on the image's pixel. Then I would apply the static or non-static method reference somehow to change the color with the intensnity value and after applying it draw to the new Image with Graphics2D. How to would I parametize a method reference and be able to use it in such way?

Calling A Non Static Method From Static Method

Jun 24, 2014

We know that a non static method can not be directly refrenced from static method but in the example given below there is no such error.Why?

class A
{
private void display()
{
System.out.println("In A");
}

public static void invoke (A x)
{
x.display();

[code]....

In above case a non static method display() is being invoked from static method invoke ()but it is not giving error.why?

FileWriter - Method Append Is Not Applicable For Arguments

Jun 7, 2014

I am having a bit of difficulty understanding/Using FileWriter. Now by my understanding in the API FileWriter allows to use write at the end of your file, if you have text in there already, correct?

I have a file with people info in it. And I created a GUI which allows people to input that data.

Java Code:

File file = new File("People.txt");
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(file);
People p = new People(firstName, lastName, email, sex));
fw.append(p);
fw.close() mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

Now, I keep getting an error on the fw.append(p)

Java Code:

The method append(CharSequence) in the type Writer is not applicable for the arguments(People) mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

Why Global Var Initialized With Static Method And Not By Other Static Global Var Declared After Its Usage

Jul 27, 2013

Take this:

class test
{
static int i=j;
static int j=10;
.....
 
this will give illegal forward reference ....
 
but this will compile successfully ..
 
class test
{
static int i=test1();
static test1()
{
return 20;
}
}
.....
 
plz assume we have main method in both cases ..
 
java would be loading all static members first and would be assigning default values .. and then will be running all the initializers from to bottom ..Why second case is a compile success and not first .. as in second also test1 method is declared after its usage ..

Create A Method That Returns A New Array

Mar 4, 2014

I need to create a method that returns a new array containing the componentwise sum of its arguments(if length is the same). For instance, if the input arrays are {0,1, 2} and {2, 2, 3} then the output is {0+2, 1+2, 2+3}, i.e. {2,3,5}.If the input arrays have different numbers of elements, the method should return null.

I came with something like this, however i dont know how to make a copy of an array from two arrays. My code obviously wont compile. package whatever;

import java.util.Arrays;
public class hhhh {
public static void main(String[] args) {
double [] a = {1,2,3};
double [] b = {2,3,4};

Back into java wasn't sure how to do it for doubles did one in the main for integers and then added a method changed from int to double and now i'm lost as go why its not working.

package kickstarter9;
public class Kickstarter9 {
public static void main(String[] args){
