    Default Calling another method on my code

    How do I call another static method?

    i have public static String generateMutatedStringReduced(String source, double rate) on string mutatedDna

        public Chromosome mutate()
        {
            String mutatedDna = GARandom.generateMutatedStringReduced(dna, 0.1);// 10% probability of change per character
            return new Chromosome(mutatedDna);
        }

    i would also like to call on the string mutatedDna

    public static String generateMuatedLengthString(String original, double rate)

    The syntax to call a static method is to use the class name dot method name:
    double val = Math.abs(12.3); // Call the static method abs in the Math class
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    You can't call two methods at the same time. You have to call them one at a time.

    Can you explain what you are trying to do?
