    Post sphenic program problem

    A Sphenic Number is a positive integer n which is product of exactly three distinct primes. The first few sphenic numbers are 30, 42, 66... Given a number n, determine whether it is a Sphenic Number or not.
    What's wrong with my code?
    mport java.util.*;
    class Sphenic
    {
    public boolean checkPrime(int n)
    {
    int i,c=0;
    {
    for(i=0;i<=n;i++)
    {
    if(n%i==0)
    {
    c++;
    }
    if(c==2)
    {
    return true;
    }
    else
    {
    return false;
    }
    }

    }
    }
    public static void main()
    {
    Scanner in=new Scanner (System.in);
    int no,i,j,k,flag=0;
    System.out.println("Enter the number");
    no=in.nextInt();
    boolean ans1,ans2,ans3;
    Sphenic obj=new Sphenic();
    for(i=2;i<=no;i++)
    {
    ans1=checkPrime(i);
    if(ans1==true)
    {
    for(j=2;j<=no;j++)
    {
    ans2=checkPrime(j);
    if(ans2==true)
    {
    for(k=2;k<=no;k++)
    {
    ans3=checkPrime(k);
    if(ans3==true)
    {
    if(i!=j && j!=k && k!=i && i*j*k==no)
    {
    flag=1;
    }
    }
    }
    }
    }
    }
    }
    if(flag==1)
    {
    System.out.println("The number is a Sphenic number");
    }
    else
    {
    System.out.println("The number is not a Sphenic number");
    }
    }
    }

    Can you explain why you think something is wrong with the code?
    Also please explain the algorithm you are using to solve the problem.

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:

    [code]
    **YOUR CODE GOES HERE**
    [/code]

    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Default Re: sphenic program problem

    whenever i compile the program it always shows "non-static method cannot be referenced". hence don't know where do I need to do the correction and how .

    non-static method cannot be referenced
    change the method so that it is static. See the main method for an example.
