Include a call in the main method

[Andyroxxx]

Hi,

I have created a program call 'Fruits' and have added another class call 'FruitOrder'.
How do I call a method by including a call in the main method?

Code for FruitOrder is:

public class FruitOrder {
private char fruitOrder;
private double weight;
private String message;

FruitOrder (char fruitCode, double weight) {
this.fruitCode = fruitCode;
this.weight = weight;
}
public String calculate() {
double price = 0;
String fruitType = "";
boolean isValidCode = true;

switch (friutCode) {
case 'A':
fruitType ="Apple";
price = weight * 1.75;
break;
case 'B':
fruitType ="Banana";
price = weight * 2.65;
break;
default:
isValidCode = false;
message = "iInvalid fruit cade entered";
break;
}
if (isValidCode) {
message = "You are buying " + weight + "Kgs of " + fruitType + " for $" + price;
}
return message;
}
}


This code is entered in the 'Fruits' class:

public static void case1() {
FruitOrder fo = new FruitOrder ('A', .5);
System.out.println ("case 1: " + "\n" + fo.calculate());
}

This is my question? how do I call this method by including a call in the main method as follow:
case1();

how do I call this method

To call a static method in a class use the classname dot the method name: ClassName.methodName();

Try this:
you call this case1() method into main method like below...

Fruits fr=new Fruits();
fr.case1();

It's a static method.
You don't need (and shouldn't use) an instance of Fruit to call it.

Fruit.case1();

is all you should use.
