Calculating per hour statistics

[vipergt89]

Hey all,
Ive got a relatively simple question, and i understand why it doesnt work, but i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or ideas on how to get it to work.

I am creating a discrete event simulator that takes customers, adds them to a wait line, and then to a teller if the teller is not busy.

I am supposed to return statistics as customers leave, such as wait time, completion time and **Average wait per hour** that means that for every hour, i need to calculate what the current average wait time is.

My code for average wait per hour:

public int averageWaitPerHour(){
double a = 0;
a = Clock.currentTime();
if(a % 60 == 0)
System.out.println("Running average: " + averageTime());
}


the error i am getting is that im referenceing a non static method from a static context, which i understand, i cannot assign variable a to Clock.currentTime().

I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how i could return this with a non-static variable.

Thanks

Lol I just finished this project. It took me 13 classes, which just happens to be my favorite number. This project was for my 102 class, and me and a friend worked on it together. It was a cool way to learn about queues.

referenceing a non static method from a static context

Code:

// Calling a static method.
double a = Clock.currentTime();

// Calling an instance method.
Clock clock = new Clock();
double a = clock.currentTime();

class Clock {
    double currentTime() {
        System.out.println("instance method");
        return time;
    }

    static double currentTime() {
        System.out.println("static method/context");
        return time;
    }
}
