Those methods should almost definitely not be void.

Yes, but you declared them inside the method, which means they're only available inside the method. Hint- You're returning a value from those methods, but you aren't doing anything with those values.

When declaring a variable, you have to give it a type. I can't just say:

x = 7;

I have to tell Java what the heck x is:

int x = 7;

Same with Strings, Objects, doubles, whatever.
