Answer 1

Shahid Iqbal thx

Answer 2

Alaska I'll try that.. though it works every time with them first

Answer 3

oh wait.. now i get it

Answer 4

nope.. still the same.. it says something about static and nonstatic methods

Answer 5

it says that non-static method setEmpNum(int) cannot be referenced to static context
Employee.setEmpNum(emp) ;

Answer 6

guys i knew what's wrong.. i must create an object of it first then use it to reach the methods.. thx java for being so easy 👍

Answer 7

Answer 8

public class Employee{
private int empNum;
public void setEmpNum(int emp)
{
empNum = emp;
}
public int getEmpNum()
{
return empNum;
}

}
import java.util.Scanner ;
public class Company {
public static void main (String [] args){
Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);
System.out.println("Enter emp number ");
int emp = input.nextInt ();

Employee e = new Employee();
e.setEmpNum(emp);

System.out.println("Emp num ="+e.getEmpNum());
}
}

Answer 9

Import statements should be the first thing, after that declare all the classes

Answer 10

Habo Osman Yes, non-static methods should only be accessed through objects. While you can still declare method as static and call it using class's name.

Answer 11

No worries ✌️
