pass value inside method A to method B

I'm develop an CLI apps using java.. because i want t0 learn java.
here my snippet:

Java Code:

import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
class Projek
{

	
	public static void main (String args[] )throws IOException
	{
		int menus;
		String input;
		
		BufferedReader stdin=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
		{
			Projek Mas = new Projek(); //
			
			
			for (int Ulang = 1; Ulang == 1;)
			{
				Mas.Arahan(); //<--- calling the function
				System.out.print("  \t\t-1 timetable \n  \t\t-2 Buy ticket \n  \t\t-3 pay ticket\n");
				System.out.print("\n  # You choose \t\t: ");
				input = stdin.readLine();
				while(isIntNumber(input)==false) // <--- Error handling (alert user when insert CHAR)
				{
					System.out.println("\n  Opss, wrong input");
					System.out.print("\n  # You choose \t\t: ");
					input = stdin.readLine(); 
				}
				menus = Integer.parseInt(input);
				Mas.Menu(menus);   
			System.out.print("\n  # continuegi? ( 1= yes / 2= no ) : ");
			Ulang = Integer.parseInt(stdin.readLine());
			if ( Ulang == 2)
				
				System.out.println("  * Bye *");
				
			
			}
		}
	}
	
	static void Arahan()
	{
		
		
		System.out.println("  ======================");
		System.out.println("   => menu    : ");
		System.out.println("  ======================");
	}
	
	static void Menu(int menu) // <-- pass the value into functiom
	{
		if(menu == 1)
			Jadual();
		else if(menu == 2)
			System.out.println("   2");
		else if(menu == 3)
			System.out.println("   3");
		else
			System.out.print("  err0r weeeh!");
	}
	
	static void Jadual()
	{	
		System.out.println("\t\t\t=========================================================================================");
		System.out.print("\t\t\t=========  \t================\t====================\t=========================");
		System.out.println("\n\t\t\t   KOD\t\t      MASA\t\t     Destinasi\t\t\tHARGA");
		System.out.println("\t\t\t=========  \t================\t====================\t=========================");
		for(int p= 0;p<5;p++)
		{
			String dest[]={"TERENGGANU   ","K.LUMPUR","PASIR MAS","PAHANG      ","SEREMBAN"};
			String time[]={"06:00PM-08.00AM","06:00PM-06.00AM","08:00AM-08:00PM","06:00PM-07:00PM","06:00PM-05:00AM"};
			int price[] = {28,23,40,60,30,15,10,25,30,18};
			
			int u=0;
			System.out.println("  ");
			System.out.println("\t\t\t=> ("+(p+1)+") - \t"+time[p]+"\t\tJOHOR >>> "+dest[p]+"\tDEWASA:RM"+price[p]+" @ KANAK2:RM"+price[p+5]);                                                                               									
		}
		System.out.print("\t\t\t=========  \t================\t====================\t=========================");
		System.out.print("\n\t\t\t=========================================================================================");
	}
	static boolean isIntNumber(String num) // <-- Error handling
	{
        try
		{
            Integer.parseInt(num);
        } 
		catch(NumberFormatException nfe) 
		{
            return false;
        }
        return true;
    }
	
}

Acctualy this code are more longer.. but i shorted it here.

here.. my quest:

i has main class

Java Code:

public static void main( String args[])

then i pass a value to a method.. for example, it pass char value X
*Just assume the user has already input the value that declare as LOL.

Java Code:

getInput(LOL);

thus code was insert into main..to pass the value

and..now inside the method is

Java Code:

getInput(char GEEK)
{
System.out.print("LOL is : "+GEEK);
}
get

Thus code are running without error..but if i pass the value method -> meth0d. sumthing goes wrong....
as snippet:

Java Code:

getInput(char GEEK)
{
System.out.print("LOL is : "+GEEK);
outInput(char GEEKv2);
}

outInput(char LoL2)
{
System.out.print("GEEK is :" +LoL2);
get

But...i get err0r...

Sorry for long explaination. I post it as the reference to all. maybe someday this thread will help the 0thers.

Anybody can answer this?

What error, where? Please post your actual error message and indicate which lines of code correspond to the error message line numbers

Please try to avoid bumps < 24 hrs after a post as we're all volunteers here.

hmmm.. i aready post what error. but it's ok.. my be its hard to explain.
here.. a snippet. try run this (in windows).

Java Code:

import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
class LOL
{

	
	public static void main (String args[] )throws IOException
	{
		int menus;

		{
			LOL Mas = new LOL(); //
			
			
			for (int Ulang = 1; Ulang == 1;)
			{
				Mas.Arahan(); //<--- calling the function
				System.out.print("  \t\t-1 timetable \n  \t\t-2 Buy ticket \n  \t\t-3 pay ticket\n");
				System.out.print("\n  # You choose \t\t: ");
				input = stdin.readLine();
				while(isIntNumber(input)==false) // <--- Error handling (alert user when insert CHAR)
				{
					System.out.println("\n  Opss, wrong input");
					System.out.print("\n  # You choose \t\t: ");
					input = stdin.readLine(); 
				}
				menus = Integer.parseInt(input);
				Mas.Menu(menus);   
			System.out.print("\n  # continuegi? ( 1= yes / 2= no ) : ");
			Ulang = Integer.parseInt(stdin.readLine());

			}
		}
	}

	  {

		{
			Jadual();
		}
		else if(menu == 2)
		{
			System.out.print("  Insert number here" );               //
			int numLOL = Integer.parseInt(stdin.readLine());     // <=== this part is OK
			System.out.print("Ok, y0u has enter : "+numLOL);  //
			loadNow(numLOL);
			
		}	
		else if(menu == 3)
		{
			System.out.println("   3");
		}
		else
		{
			System.out.print("  err0r weeeh!");
		}
	   }
	}
	loadNow(int X)
	{
		System.out.println(" X is numLOL ="+X);  // <===== this is the problem part. it can't read the value pass from another method
	}
	static void Jadual()
	{	
		System.out.println("\t\t\t=========================================================================================");
		System.out.print("\t\t\t=========  \t================\t====================\t=========================");

		}
		System.out.print("\t\t\t=========  \t================\t====================\t=========================");
		System.out.print("\n\t\t\t=========================================================================================");
	}
	static boolean isIntNumber(String num) // <-- Error handling
	{
        try
		{
            Integer.parseInt(num);
        } 
		catch(NumberFormatException nfe) 
		{
            return false;
        }
        return true;
    }
	
}

at that snippet i also put comment, at where the problem part.
then we run it.. we get err0r...

D:\>javac LOL.java
LOL.java:77: invalid method declaration; return type required

invalid method declaration; return type required

When you define a method, java requires that you provide a type to be returned.
Use "void" if nothing is returned.

**erakhman** · 09-01-2010, 05:06 AM

because you call method loadNow(int x) from static method, so you must declare method loadNow(int x) as static method too and you must add return type of the method, like this :

Java Code:

	static void loadNow(int X)
	{
		System.out.println(" X is numLOL ="+X);  // <===== this is the problem part. it can't read the value pass from another method
	}
