    Default So Lost with void method

    I get the error cannot find symbol - method method (int)
    public class huh
    {
    public static void method1()
    {
    System.out.println("I wonder who wrote the book on love");
    }
    public static void method1(int x)
    {
    for (i = 0; i < x; i++)
    System.out.println("I wonder who wrote the book on love") + i;
    }
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
    int i; for (i = 0; i < 6; i++)
    {
    System.out.println(int i);
    method1();
    method(i);
    }
    }
    }

    In "method1", you define 'x' as a variable, but not 'i'. Both will need to be defined.

    There are more syntax errors than that. But we are not the OP's compiler. Let him work through the problem and ask specific questions about what's going on.

    Default Re: So Lost with void method

    BlueJ only shows me one error at a time, and I am only asking for a hint on my current error, not to fix the entire script for me.

    tle - the for statement already defined i did it not?

    Copy and paste the full error message here.

    But I'll give you a hint- what method do you think method(i) will call? Look at it carefully.

    No, but you have plenty of other syntax errors to worry about. Take them one at a time.

    I have no reason to keep anything from the thread.
    Blue J error = cannot find symbol - method method (int)
    That will be the complete and only error that generate until i fix it.

    Right. And what method do you expect method(i) to call? Look closely at your other methods compared to what you're trying to call. Hint- where is the method named method that takes an integer parameter?
