    Your main method is empty. Are you receiving error messages when you try to run this program, or is nothing happening? If it is the latter, then you simply have to add some code to your main method if you expect this program to do something.

    And this is because you don't have anything in your main method. If you want code to execute, then you must add it to your main method.

    That's okay!

    I'm assuming that you want to create a piggy-bank and print its contents, correct?

    In the method named "main", which is at the top of your code:
    Quote Originally Posted by iridebmxnj View Post

    ...you want to create a PiggyBank object. If you don't know how to create an object, learn here: Creating Objects (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Classes and Objects)

    Next, you want to call the object's printContents() method. If you don't know how to call an object's method, learn here: Using Objects (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Classes and Objects)

    In short, the main method is where you specify what you want to happen. In this case, you want to create a piggy-bank and print out the contents of it.

    Also, surround your code with these tags (minus the spaces between the brackets and the word code): [ code ] [ /code ]
    The tags will make your code easier to read.
