Syntax error

[Patrick Vanhoof]

Hi,

I am pretty new to Java, and am therefor already blocked by a simple program
(code avalaible below). The last line of the program (the println) gives a
syntax error:
'Syntax error on token "(", "Identifier" expected'
Anyone knows why I get this message?

public class Storage {
Storage st = new Storage();
String str = new String("dit is een string");
public static void main(String[] args) {
}
int storage(String s) {
return s.length() * 2;
}
System.out.println(st.storage(str));
}


Thanks in advance,
Patrick

public class Storage {
Storage st = new Storage();
String str = new String("dit is een string");
public static void main(String[] args) {
}
int storage(String s) {
return s.length() * 2;
}
System.out.println(st.storage(str));
}

The last statement doesn't belong to any method (or constructor). Look
at where your braces {} are.

One thing is your println is not in a method.

try this:

public class Storage {

public static void main(String[] args)
{
Storage st = new Storage();
String str = new String("dit is een string");
System.out.println(st.storage(str));
}
int storage(String s)
{
return s.length() * 2;
}

}

HTH,

Jordan.

Thanks, but how do I put it in a method? And how call it then?

Please don't toppost.

You put that code in a method the same way you've put return s.length() * 2
inside a method.

Also, please ask these kind of beginner questions in c.l.j.help.
But please read the java tutorial first. These concepts are clearly
explained there:
