Thread: Need help, Object Oriented / Class & Object.

Hello,

I need your help once again, so far, i have this following codes and im trying to make a java program that calls an object value initialized.

public class TestClass
{
    public String name;
    public int age;
 
    public void myMessage()
	{
	System.out.println("Hello I'm" + name + "and i'm" + age + "years old");
}
}

what i want is to put the following codes of the object.. so once i compile and run the project it executes the value of an object from the method i defined above.

TestClass myName = new TestClass();
myName.name = "Jefferson";
myName.age = 18;

my question is, it is possible to declare or define it in the same project? or i need to do this separately?

could anyone pls help me? thanks in advance

Hi. I'm not sure if I understand what you mean by "in the same project", but the second part of the code, i.e.,

TestClass myName = new TestClass();
myName.name = "Jefferson";
myName.age = 18;

can certainly be placed within the TestClass class itself, in the body of the main method. See Lesson: A Closer Look at the "Hello World!" Application (The Java™ Tutorials > Getting Started) if you're unsure about the main method.

Thank you for your answer, i've almost done doing this exersice and i'd separately make a new class which contained the main() method for the execution of the program and add the method i used from TestClass project to call it and print the initialized value of the object at the main class, now time to move about the contructor.
