Beginner Array Problem. Swapper

SOLVED!





This is what i have and I am not sure what i am doing wrong. It keeps giving me errors!

Code :

---

public class Swapper
{
public static void main(String[] args){
   public void swapFirstAndSecondHalf(int[] values)
   {
      int[] a = {1,2,3,4,5};
	  int k = 0;
	  int temp = 0;
	  while(k < a.length/ 2)
	  {
	  temp = a[k];
	  a[k] = a[a.length -1-k];
	  a[a.length-1-k] = temp;
	  k++;
	  }
 
 
 
 
   }
   // This method is used to check your work
   public int[] check(int[] values)
   {
      swapFirstAndSecondHalf(values);
      return values;
   }
}
}

---

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hint - don't put methods inside of methods. main() is a method. swapFirstAndSecondHalf() is a method.

Would i fix that by making a new class?

Try moving the method outside of the {}s that surround the code for the main() method.
You may not need a new class.

I am not sure what you mean. Should i write the code where the main method has nothing in it and then separate it?
thank you Norm

To correct the compiler error, make sure that no methods are defined inside of other methods.
Make that change, get a clean compile and THEN write code for the main() method.
One step at a time.

I have been trying to do that for the last few hours. :( It keeps giving me back errors.

Show the code and Post the full text of the error messages if you want help with them.

the issue is now resolved. Thank you very much for your help. I ended up not using a second class. Thank you norm.
