View RepliesWhat does void and static mean in the main method?
View Replies View RelatedI believe I am on the right track but when I run the program I get an error that the class that I can't call on the method. I need to have what is selected in the JCheckBoxes added to the toppings array and I can't get that done what so ever.
Java Code:

I just kinda get stuck when it comes to passing values into constructors, using main method or static method functionality. In theory i kind of understand how it work but when i type it, it's totally different! I have to have a junit test too but i guess i could do that in the end.
I have attached the assignment. So, how to proceed with this:
public class Flight {
int flight_number, capacity, number_of_seats_left;
String origin, destination;
String departure_time;
double original_price;
[Code] ....

public static void main(String[] args) {
SimpleGUI1B gui = new SimpleGUI1B();
gui.go();

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?
This is my code inside the method:
@Post
public static String getDetails(Representation entity) throws Exception {
String customerId = getQuery().getValues("cus_id");
}
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".
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) ?
View Replies View RelatedI 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

Alright, I have two classes, this one
public class Player {
private String player;
public String getPlayer() {
return player;
}
private int strength;
private int defense;
[Code] .....
However, it says that under Player.getPlayer() that it 'Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method'.
Why I can create an Instance of a class that contains non static variables within the static main method ?
This program runs fine
import java.util.*;
public class Test{
public int j;
public static void main(String[] args) {
Test test1=new Test();
System.out.println(test1.j);

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:
6 errors found:

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?

I now we have two kinds of lock one is object level lock and another is class level lock
I am trying to compile the following code where the entry point is Main.java but i am getting the following error "Error non-static method add(int[]) cannot be referenced from a static context in Java " ....
If i add the keyword static in add method of A.java it works properly......
Class Main.java code
package com.company;
public class Main {
public int [] a= new int[]{1,2,3};
public static void main(String[] args) {
Main n= new Main();
[Code]...
Both the classes are in same package
I have written a small program that creates a loop that only fails to continue once we reach a StackOverflowError exception. It looks just like:
class MyFirstApp {
static int counter;
public static void main(String[] args) {
counter++;
System.out.println(counter + " in main.");
roundAbout();
}
public static void roundAbout() {
counter++;
System.out.println(counter + " in roundAbout.");
main( new String[0] );
}
}
The idea of the program is to go between each method without using an object. Each time the method is entered the static int counter variable is incremented and outputted along with its respective loop. The loop does, however, fail eventually.
By calling the between the methods we build a tower of stack frames that eventually topples. The number of times this runs before the StackOverflowError occurs varies, though. Sometimes I get 6553, 6554 or something else close to these values.
Is there a way to pop a method of the stack or clear part of the stack so I can keep this going? I don't know where I would use this but it would be nice to know.
class Test
{
static Test ref;
String[] arguments;
public void func(String[] args)
{
ref.arguments = args;
[code]...
This code run perfectly.But the static method is acessing a non static method which was supposed to be not possible.
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?
Which is more efficient static block or static method ?

If the user enters the command line shown above, how many elements are contained in the array which is passed to "public static void main(String args[])" in TestCommandLine?
Choice 1 Four
Choice 2 Five
Choice 3 Six
Choice 4 Seven
Choice 5 Nine
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 ..
I'd like to know how to return a new array, I wrote in a method below the main method. I want to print the array but system.out.print doesn't work for arrays apparently. What structure i should use?
View Replies View RelatedI 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();

I have to make new string array in the method and return words without four letters in the main method
I am just trying to test this array, for a locker combination program that involves classes...but the array is printing out the whacky numbers for the location. When I try to call the method in the main, it does not work. How do I call a method that exist within a class into the main method?

I'm writing a program that calculates phone charges. I have my class is set up, but when I try to retrieve data from it in my main, eclipse says that I need to set my method to static, which messes up the rest of the program.

Here's a class called Fibonacci
Java Code:
public class Fibonacci {
public static int fib(int n) {
if (n < 2) {return n;}
else {return fib(n-1)+fib(n-2);}
[code]....
it contains one method called fib() and one main method.If I would want to have the main method in another class than fib(), how would I write the two classes? Only cutting the main method from this class to another one doesn't work.My question is, is the reason it doesn't work because I then would have to have a constructor in the Fibonacci class, and create a Fibonacci object first which I then use the method on?
