Can someone look at this a tell me what I am doing wrong?

I am new and I cannot get this to run. Am I leaving something out? Any advise? Thanks. I am sure it is just something stupid.

class OverloadDemo
{
	void test()
	{
	
	System.out.println("No Parameters");
	}
	
	void test (int a)
	{
	System.out.println("a: " + a);
	}
	
	void test (int a, int b)
	{
	System.out.println("a and b: " +a + " " +b);
	}
	
	double test (double a)
	{
	System.out.println("double a: " +a);
	return a*a;
	}
	
}

class Overload
{
	public static void main(String args [])
	{
		OverloadDemo ob = new OverloadDemo();
		double result;
	// call all versions of test()
	ob.test ( );
	ob.test (10);
	ob.test (10,20);
	result = ob.test (123.2);
	System.out.println("result of ob.test (123.2) : " + result);
	}
	
}

You need to tell us more, a lot more. For instance, what is your code doing that it shouldn't be doing, what is it not doing that it should be doing, what error messages, if any, do you see. Also, please note that for code tags to work, the bottom tag should be [/code].

Sorry about that. I can get it to compile but when I run it I get the following error

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main
Exception in thread "main"

I was given this code to copy and compile and run, to see what it does and I cannot get it to run to see what it does. I have been pulling out me hair trying to figure out what I am missing. Thanks

What command line do you enter to run it?
The main() method is in the Overload class.

You should enter: 'java Overload' to execute the class with the main() method.

I am not sure what you mean. I just enter it in JGrasp, compile it and select run. Sorry I am really new to all this. Are you saying it should work and I am just running it wrong?

[Norm]

I am just running it wrong

Probably.
To execute the program your IDE must execute the command line: java Overload
I have no idea how to configure your IDE to do that.

Is the code all in the same file? not quite sure what would happen if you had the main method in a non-public class (Overload) in a differently named file (OverloadDemo.java/OverloadDemo.class) Could do some very odd things...

[udinulis]

make sure your java file name is same with main class method...

as far as I remember java defaults to protected scope not public

Not quite. 'package private' or default scope, is the default scope. You can't actually declare something as 'package private' - you only get that scope when you don't specify a scope in a class (undefined scope in interfaces and such being public static final or public abstract by default).

I figured it out. Thanks. I had both classes saved in the same file.
