    Default Calling for methods

    As some of you saw my other thread creating methods. Well now I have created methods but I am having problems calling for it on the main method.

    These where the instructions from my instructor on how to create the method.
    Write a method called convertInchesToFeet

    * one parameter: inches
    * returns nothing
    * the method converts the number of inches to feet and inches
    * the method displays the result to the user
    o For example, if the method call sends 66 as the value of inches, say "Your are 5 feet and 6 inches tall"
    * notice you are outputing the information to the user from inside the method, not returning the value to main
    The code is
    public static void convertinchestofeet(int inches)
    	{
    		int feet = inches / 12;
    		int pInches = inches % 12;
    		System.out.println("You are" + feet +"feet and" + pInches + "inches tall.");
    	}// end ConvertInchesToFeet Method

    Then the instructions for my main method are:
    says "Let's convert inches to feet" then

    * prints a blank line
    * Asks the user to enter the total number of inches tall he is
    * calls the convertInchesToFeet method
    my code is
    public static void main(String[] args)
    	{
    Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
              System.out.println("Let's convert inches to feet\n");
    		System.out.print("Enter the total number of inches tall you are:");
    			int height = scanner.next();

    Now i have having trouble linking both methods and performing the actions my teachers asks for. Can anybody help me?

    Smile Re: Calling for methods

    import java.util.Scanner;
    public class SRT {
    public static void convertinchestofeet(double inches)
    	{
    		double feet = inches / 12;
    		double pInches = inches % 12;
    		System.out.println("You are " + feet +"feet and " + pInches + "inches tall.");
    }
    public static void main(String[] args)
    	{
    Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
              System.out.println("Let's convert inches to feet\n");
    		System.out.print("Enter the total number of inches tall you are:");
    			double height = scanner.nextDouble();
                SRT.convertinchestofeet(height);
     
    }
    }


    i suggest you to use double instead of int.
    there is no function named next().
    since function is static u can call it directly using <class>.<static function>
