PLEASE HELP!

Answer 1

You have created a function inside of main function make it outside and than call it. Like

public class Program
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
Program obj = new Program();
System.out.println(obj.absoluteValue(-4.8));
}
public double absoluteValue(double x)
{
if(x < 0) {
return -x;
} else {
return x;
}
}
}

btw aditya first one 😇

Answer 3

You defined the method absolute Value inside main () method.

I don't think we can define a method like this. Yes we can define anonymous method for event handlers, but this is not possible as far as I know.

Hope this will rectify your issue

Answer 6

you cant declare a function within another function declaration.

public class Program
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(absoluteValue(3.5));
}

public static double absoluteValue(double x) {
if(x < 0) {
return -x;
} else {
return x;
}
}
}
