Trouble with non static method from a static context

[cjw92]

All I have to do is get the two calls to inputData() and queryData() to work so I can run the program, but I'm not sure what's wrong. Here's the code: (at least all that's needed to fix it I think)

import java.util.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class Olympic
{
private DLList numbers = new DLList();

public static void main(String [] args)
{
inputData();
queryData();
}


public void inputData()
{
Scanner scoreScanner = new Scanner(System.in);
String name = "";
double score = 0;

while(!name.equals("done"))
{
System.out.println("Enter in 'done' to exit");
System.out.println("Enter in the name of the diver: ");
name = scoreScanner.next();
System.out.println("Enter in the diver's score: ");
score = scoreScanner.nextDouble();
numbers.add(name, score);
}

}

void queryData()
{
new MyFrame();
displayAllAscending();
displayAllDescending();
System.out.println(getScores());
displayLowest();
displayHighest();
}

Thanks.

You should create an object of the method you're calling.

public static void main(String [] args)
{
inputData(); 
queryData();
}

public static void main(String [] args)
{
Olympic oly = new Olympic();
oly.inputData(); 
oly.queryData();
}

Alternative, is you make the method static so that it will not require you to create an object before you call the method

Yep, you can't call non-static methods from within a static method unless you call them on an instance of object that contains the method.

But also, it sort of appears that you're trying to mix console code programming with Swing GUI programming, and if so, that can be a bad idea.
