    Default How do I call a class in a main class

    This program I have made measures the area of the room.
    Now i want to create two classes.
    This is the original coding I made that works perfectly. But here I put everything in one class:

    import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
     
    public class RoomOne
    {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
    {
    //Declaration of strings
    String firstNumber;
    String secondNumber;
     
    int numberOne=10;
    int numberTwo=20;
    int finalAnswer=numberOne*numberTwo;
     
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "The area of the room is: " + finalAnswer + " sqaure feet", "Room Measurement", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
    {
    System.exit(0);
    }
    }
    }

    I want to have two classes, the main class, and a secondary class.
    The secondary class should contain the entire coding. I want to be able to call the secondary class in the main class. How do I do that?

    Your first step is to put that all in a method, then call it from the main you already have. When you have that working, then just do the same thing in another class.
