Thread: Creating a static method that requires no arguments and returns no values.

Hello forum! I am doing an assignment and I am clueless as to what I did wrong or supposed to do in terms of placement of coding. If someone could dumb down their response and tell me what I did wrong I would greatly appreciate it.

This is what I supposed to do:

1.) Type the following shell for the class:

public class ParadiseInfo
{
}

2.) Between curly braces of the class, indent a few spaces and create the shell for the main() method:

public static void main(String[] args)
{
}

3.) Between the braces of the main()Method, insert a call to the displayInfo() method:

displayInfo();

4.) Place the displayInfo() method outside of the main() method, just before the closing curly brace for the ParadiseInfo class:

public static void displayInfo()
{
system.out.println ("Paradise Day Spa wants to pamper you.");
system.out.println ("We will make you look good.");
}

This is what I attempted to do:
I know it is wrong I am just clueless on where to put the code and why



public class ParadiseInfo
{
displayInfo();

public static void main(String[] args)
{
public static void displayInfo();
}

system.out.println("Paradise Day Spa wants to pamper you.");
system.out.println("We will make you look good.");

}


I appreciate any help or insight..Thanks!!

--- Update ---

I also tried it this one and ended up with 1 error..


public class ParadiseInfo
{
displayInfo();

public static void main(String[] args)
{

}
public static void displayInfo();
{
system.out.println("Paradise Day Spa wants to pamper you.");
system.out.println("We will make you look good.");
}
}

That 2nd try is a little closer, but that call to displayinfo(); is just sorta hanging out in the top of the class where the variables and method definitions go. There's no way to reach it and I think a compiler will freak out if it sees a function in a place like that. Calls to methods like that need to be inside the body of another method, such as main().

I tried this again and I still don't know what I am doing wrong. Is this closer or farther away from what I already tried? lol

 
public class ParadiseInfo
{
	displayInfo();
 
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
 
	}
		public static void displayInfo();
	{
	system.out.println("Paradise Day Spa wants to pamper you.");
	system.out.println("We will make you look good.");
	}
}

The error that I got: G:\ParadiseInfo.java:3: error: invalid method declaration; return type required
displayInfo();
^
1 error

Tool completed with exit code 1

You shouldn't call a function outside the body of a function (which you did on line 3). You've also left your main function completely empty so your program won't do anything.

Also, don't put a semicolon at the end of a function signature ( public static void displayInfo(); ). You really only do something like that if you're defining an interface.
