    Default I need help with a sort of banking program

    Hello, I've been stuck trying to get this to work but I've had no such luck and I was hoping you could help. What I'm trying to do is to make method called debit that will withdraw money from the account and to print a message if it exceeds it. Thanks.


    "Account.java"
    public class Account {
     
        private double balance;
     
        public Account( double initialBalance )
        {
        	if ( initialBalance > 0.0 )
        		balance = initialBalance;
        }
     
        public void credit( double amount )
        {
        	balance = balance + amount;
        } 
        public void debit( String[] args );
     
        public double getBalance()
        {
        	return balance;
        } 
     
    }

    "AccountTest.java"
    public class AccountTest 
    {
        public static void main( String args[] ) 
        {
        	Account account1 = new Account( 50.00 );
        	Account account2 = new Account( -7.53 );
     
        	System.out.printf( "account1 balance: $%.2f\n",
        		account1.getBalance() );
        	System.out.printf( "account2 balance: $%.2f\n\n",
        		account2.getBalance() );
        	Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );
        	double withdrawalAmount;
     
        	System.out.print( "Enter withdrawal amount for account1: " );
        	withdrawalAmount = input.nextDouble();
        	System.out.printf( "\nsubtracting %.2f from account1 balance\n",
        		withdrawalAmount );
        	account2.credit( withdrawalAmount );
     
        	System.out.printf( "account1 balance: $%.2f\n",
        		account1.getBalance() );
        	System.out.printf( "account2 balance: $%.2f\n",
        		account2.getBalance() );
        }
     
     
    }

    Current Syntax errors
    --------------------Configuration: <Default>--------------------
    C:\Users\Cam\Documents\Account.java:24: error: missing method body, or declare abstract
        public void debit( String[] args );

    The error message says it all: methods need a body, unless the class is abstract. Where is your debit() method's body?
