I dont know what's wrong with line 36. please help

[eRaaaa]

the semicolon on the end of the line before :D

[amrmb09]

the semicolon on the end of the line before :D

thank you so much
but, when compiling there is still an exception in the main thread.why??

[eRaaaa]

which exception?
--> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main <- that one? :)

the main method must be static! public static void main(String[] args)
But you will get other errors, because the methods setsize,initialize and getnumofoperands are no static methods, so you have to call them on a instance of the OP class (read the differences between static - non-static)

[Fubarable]

You may want to show us the actual exception text and indicate which line is causing it (not by line number but by posting the actual line).

Luck!

[amrmb09]

many thanks for your help

[RamyaSivakanth]

not only 36th line.some more errors are there.

Learn the basics and start doing the code.

1.You should have proper main.

2.Main method is static ,so have to call the method from main by making all the method as static one or create an instance and call the methods.

please help, what is the problem with the main()

First you tell US. Again, what error messages are you getting? Also please edit your posts and use code tags so that we can read your code. The first link in my signature links will tell you how.

It looks like you've got your main method inside of another method which is illegal, but it's very hard to tell since your post doesn't use code tags. Again, please edit your posts above and add tags to your code. The tag

[cod&#101;]

goes above your block of code, and the tag

[/cod&#101;]

goes below your block of code. Notice that they are different.

hello,
i would like to create a method that accepts arrays as parameters and return an array as well, so,, please tell me whether the below stated java code is correct and if not, please guide me

public static String [] convertStrToInt (String [] , String [] )
{
.....

return ???
}

Did you at least read the first link supplied by Fubarable? I, for one, am not going to read those unformatted lumps of code. Fix that.

kind regards,

[amrmb09]

why u seem so angry, ?????????????
if u dont want to help just dont.
and who told u that i'm not trying to set [\code]????????????
or i didnt read Fubarable message??????????

do u know what? from u i dont need any help even if ur the only one know java in this world

and,i forget one more thing








No kind regards for u at all

[Fubarable]

I don't see any anger in his post and his point is valid as we would all appreciate it if you would edit your previous posts here and add code tags. It's not hard to do and would help us to help you. So why haven't you tried to do this yet? If you don't understand how, just say so.

[amrmb09]

Hello Fubarable,

actually i tried but it was confusing for me to distinguish which line or keyword shuld be placed within the brackets.

[Fubarable]

You just need to place [cod&#101;] on the top of all your code and [/cod&#101;] on the bottom, like so:

[code]
      for (int i = 0; i < intArray.length; i++) {
         if (i == 0) {
            System.out.print(intArray[i] + ", ");
         } else {
            boolean duplicate = false;
            for (int j = i - 1; j >= 0; j--) {
               if (intArray[i] == intArray[j]) {
                  duplicate = true;
               }
            }
            if (!duplicate) {
               System.out.print(intArray[i] + ", ");
            }
         }
      }
[/cod&#101;]

Sure this could work as a skeleton for what you're trying to do, but the devil's in the details. Just how is the method supposed to act on the inputs? What's the logic behind what you're doing?
