methods and packages

[coltragon]

hello,

i know this may be a little noob question but anyways i can't sort it out.
i'm making a little rpg game...
i wanted to make a method buyClothes wich the user can purchase clothes.
because the method has to be public(the main needs to acces it)
i couldnt make it in that file. because when i tried to make a public method it gives me illegal start of type error.

so i decided to make a new class file in this package...
and put my method buyClothes in there.

now how can i acces my method in the main file?
because when i type

buyClothes();

it says it can't find method... how to acces a method from another file?

Accessing methods from other classes is done in 2 ways, depending on the method, if it's static or non-static.
Static methods are accessed by typing the name of the class in front of the method:

MyClass.myMethod();

Non-static methods can only be accessed through an object-instance of the class:

MyClass a = new MyClass();
a.myMethod();

hi coltragon,
i guess below code can help you, good luck

public class AccessOneMethod {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Person p = new Person();
		p.buyClothes();
	}
}

class Person{
	public void buyClothes(){
		
	}
}
