Thread: help with errors

I've had some serious troubles getting this class to compile. I'm just looking for a little help with this.

int cannot be dereferenced

if (arrival.toMinutes()
The variable: arrival is not a class object. It is an int. ints do not have methods.

non-static variable hours cannot be referenced from a static context

The variable: hours is a class variable that only exists when there is an instance of that class.
Create an instance of the class and use that reference:
Time time = new Time(); // create an instance of the class
time.hours //<<< this way to get to the hours variable in the Time class

date is already defined in toMinutes()

This one says in English what the problem is. Read the text of the message! You can only define a variable one time in a method.
