Calling a void method into a static void main within same class

**sketch_flygirl** · November 15th, 2009, 12:33 AM

I am new to java programming and have bad programming writing skills and in great urge of the need of help.

I have a program with 6 methods, one method being the static void main

public class ExceptionHandling{
 
public void FileNotFound (String fileName){
}
....
 
public static void main(String[ ] args){
}

I just need help in placing FileNotFound into the static void main

I tried:
ExceptionHandling fetch = new ExceptionHandling();
fetch.FileNotFound();
...and received the error of FileNotFound(java.lang.string) could not be applied to ()

I have no idea what to do at all. Checked my textbook with no luck and tried everything my textbook gave examples of. Please help me!

You're trying to call FileNotFound with no arguments, but the method you made always needs to have a String (the filename) passed to it.

So you should use:

ExceptionHandling fetch = new ExceptionHandling();
fetch.FileNotFound("Some String");

or

ExceptionHandling fetch = new ExceptionHandling();
String filename = "filename.txt";
fetch.FileNotFound(filename);
