    Default Re: I am not sure what else do I need to complete it

    I'm supposed to write a code where the class has static methods: to accept radius and calculate area, accept length and with to calculate a rectangle's area, and accept base and height for a triangle's area. It should display error if there are negatives values

    Then I need to write a program to test the class, displaying the following menu:
    Geometry Calculator

    1. Calculate the area of a circle
    2. Calculate the area of a rectangle
    3. Calculate the area of a triangle
    4. Quit

    Enter your choice (1-4): Display error if numbers out of 1-4 range

    I was thinking that my class should be close to this: but still I don't know how to state the calculations because it says <identifier> expected
    public class GeometryCalculator
     { 
     
     
        public static double circArea
                (double r);
        {
     
            {
                return Math.PI*r*r;
     
            }
        }   
     
        public static double rectArea
                (double len, wid);
        {
     
            {
                return l*w;
            }               
        }
     
        public static double triArea
                (double base,heig);
        {
     
            {
                return h*b*0.5;
            }
     
        }
      }

    Also in my first code says error where e.getSource saying that is wasn't declared

    --- Update ---

    Never mind I figured it out everything, still thanks!!

    Default Re: I am not sure what else do I need to complete it

    When you declare a method each parameter must be given a type. There are some instances where you did not specify a type like
    public static double triArea
               (double base,heig);
    {
        {
              return h*b*0.5;
        }
    }

    As I said earlier, both parameters must have types
    public static double triArea(double base, double heig)

    Also, you are using different variable names throughout the methods
    If you define the variable base, and heig, your program does not know what h or b are. You have to use consistent names.
