    Default How to create a parametrized constructor ,with parameters accepting from a accept() function?

    For example,

    class cons
    {
    int d;
    cons(int a)
    {
    d=a;
    }
    void accept(String args[])throws IOException
    {


    What should I do next?
    I want the accept() to accept value from the user, the then to initialize the instance variable with the help of the constructor.So I need to pass the accepted value to the constructor.But how? And I also want to create a main function to create a object and call the function accept().How to do so.I want to use only 1 constructor and not more.

    You can have as many constructor you want in your class. There is no restriction on it.

    Make accept() static and you can call it with class name directly.

    Static functions doesn't require object to call them they can be called using the class name only.
    static functions are called like this: className.functionName(functin parameters);

    See here is the question.I have to create the object and call the methods.It is required to call the object by creating object only.

    Define a class student described as below:-
    Data Members-name,age,m1,m2,m3(marks in 3 sub),maximum,average
    Member Methods-
    1)A parametrized constructor to initialize the data members
    2)To accept the details of a student
    3)To compute average and maximum out of 3 marks
    4)To display name,age,marks in 3sub,max,avg
    Write a main method create an object and call the above method.

    int m9=Integer.parseInt(in.readLine());
    student obj=new student(a,ae,m7,m8,m9);
    }
    void compute()
    {
    int t=m1+m2+m3;
    avg=(float)(t/3f);
    if(m1>m2&&m1>m3)
    maxi=m1;

    else

    }
    void display()

    System.out.println("marks 1 ="+m1);

    The above returns a syntax error:cannot find symbol-constructor student
    How to correct this error?

    a syntax error:cannot find symbol-constructor student
    Please copy the full text of the error message and post it here. The error message should show what line the error was on and more details about the problem.

    Also please edit the code and properly format it with indentations for nested statements. All statements should not start in the first column.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    look at the constructor you created and then go to the main method and look at the object you instantiated.... does the new object you created match the definition you made for a Student object???
