Neither do we if you don't tell us what is wrong.

I don't think you can put anything, i.e. your calcualteAvaerage() inside of your main. Move that out and put it before your main class.
Also, java don't care, but Avaerage is misspelled. it should be Average.

Alternatively you can make calcualteAverage() a separate calculateAverage.java, and start it with the "package calculateAverage;" line.
Add the line "import calculateAverage.*;" to ArrayDemo.java

make a new folder and call it ArrayDemo. inside this folder make another new folder and call it calculateAverage.
put ArrayDemo.java in the ArrayDemo folder. put calculateAverage.java in the calculateAverage folder.

open command prompt and navigate to ArrayDemo folder.
at the prompt type "javac ArrayDemo.java calculateAverage/calculateAverage.java
then type "java ArrayDemo" to see if it works.

That isn't true. OP has declared calcualteAverage() as static, so it's perfectly legal to call it inside main.

Add the line "import calculateAverage.*;" to ArrayDemo.java

And why do this? Java is object oriented, and I fail to see how 'calculateAverage' represents an object, let alone a package...better advice would be to suggest a new class, perhaps call it MathUtils, which contains the calculateAverage method, and place this within a package more appropriately named (for example util)
