Cannot execute method in another class!

I'm working in NetBeans and have 2 classes:

Class A that has a main method and calls methodB that is contained within
Class B and is declared public and static but I get "cannot resolve symbol
method B" error.

The same code works when methodB is placed within Class A.

Putting package mario.com at the start of both classes didn't help, so what
might be the problem!

Help appreciated!

How exactly do you try to call "methodB" in ClassB?

You need an instance of your ClassB on which to call methodB. But then
again, as methodB is static you call it like this:
ClassB.methodB();

Since you didn't post any code, it's impossible to tell exactly.
However, the most likely cause is that you have to use the dot (.)
operator to access a member of a class, whether it be a method or a
[public] variable.

Like this:

public class A{
public static void main(String[] args){
B.someMethod();
}
}
public class B{
public static void someMethod(){
//method implementation goes here
}
}

Posting the actual code of your program would be appreciated as well,
because it would be a tremendous help in tracking down just what goes
wrong and where.

Whatever I try turns out wrong:



methodB();

doesnnot work nor

ClassB.methodB();

in my humble knowledge just methodB() should do the trick as the method is
static but it doesnnot.

could you post your code?

You have been asked several time to post your code. Maybe you should take
the advice. For lack of code, everyone is reduced to guessing, including
you.

Here you ask for code. Doesn't it occur to you that we need to see yours
first?

AHA! I see what you're doing wrong.
The code is missing. You forgot to type it in and compile it.
Is the imaginary method declared static so you can call it from the other
class without instantiating it?

Thanks for all the replies but it really didn't have anything to do with
badly written code, I didn't put all the classes in the same package and
therefore I couldn't call method B from within Class A nor could I
instantiate an object of Class C from within Class b etc.

New Package -> and then copy paste of the code saved it!

Thanks!
