[unborn talon]

how do I make a new class

[stray salmon]

field outside of Main

Changed the title to field outside of Main.

[past breach]

why do u want to create a new class?

what are u even trying to achieve?

[unborn talon]

not sure...

[past breach]

tell me what u want to do and ill tell u how to do that

[unborn talon]

how do I make the class thingy come down so I can write the code

[past breach]

not sure what u mean by that

[unborn talon]

I'm just following a guide 😭

[past breach]

[past breach]

i bet the guide didnt tell u to do it like that

[unborn talon]

I want this to be here

[unborn talon]

I doubt it yes

[past breach]

that youtube video has everything inside the main method

not outside

https://i.imgur.com/5u8UW8i.png

and its int, not Int

id suggest u follow a "proper tutorial". we recommend mooc

MOOC is a completely free introductory Java course created by the University of Helsinki, it is a great way to learn Java from the ground up.

It consists of two parts, one at beginner, and another at intermediate level. The end of the course is marked by creating your own Asteroids game clone!

Even though the instructions show how to configure and use NetBeans for the course, you can use IntelliJ. To use IntelliJ, simply install the TMC plugin by opening IntelliJ -> File -> Settings -> Plugins and searching for TMC. You will then be able to use IntelliJ to complete MOOC.

Visit MOOC here: https://java-programming.mooc.fi/
(the course is available in both English and Finnish)

oh

it dosen't work anymore I can't make a class

😭

[past breach]

thats also not what the youtube video did

[unborn talon]

yes right now I'm trying to fix the guide

I mean

the class

not the guide

[past breach]

see, ur problem is that ur doing stuff thats way ahead of ur current level without understanding what ur doing at all

ur doing random stuff

and that wont work at all

the youtube guide works. but ur not doing what they are doing

[unborn talon]

well yeah that pretty much sums it up

[past breach]

u either have to follow ur yt guide properly and do it like they do (then it also works)

or u learn it proper by following mooc instead

[unborn talon]

okay but like...

how do I fix my class?

[past breach]

but writing random stuff wont work

[unborn talon]

right now no code will work

because there is no end class

[past breach]

line 7 should be }

https://i.imgur.com/153kE9Z.png

[past breach]

remove line 8

entirely

then it works

[unborn talon]

I want the int to work

the guide makes the int

[past breach]

but ur putting it at the entirely wrong place

and also writing it wrong

the guide makes the int inside the main method

not outside

[past breach]

and the guide also writes it as int points;

not Int. points;

[unborn talon]

oh

right

[past breach]

put it below the print line

before the closing }

so that its inside the method

[past breach]

u still put it outside

im repeating myself

ur main method ends in line 6

with that }

u have to put ur code inside

[unborn talon]

oh

not the class

but the method

[past breach]

yes

[unborn talon]

yay!

[past breach]

if u dont follow a proper guide u will be lost right on the next step though

and then on the step after that again

and so on

[unborn talon]

but I wanna learn java to make a minecraft mod

is mooc goingto help with that

[past breach]

hence i gave u a good resource to learn java

mooc is the best guide to learning java, in our opinion

before u can do minecraft mods, u have to learn java

minecraft requires u to have advanced java knowledge

otherwise its pain and suffering

ur not the first who comes here with that goal in mind

it happens pretty much once a week

[unborn talon]

oh well

mooc it is then

how much time do you think it will take me to get competent in java

[past breach]

from zero to junior job, its usually 2-3 years

[unborn talon]

I see

I'm following mooc and I don't need to change my program right?

can I just keep on using intellij

[lone fractal]

You can use IntelliJ, see the bot message ^^

[unborn talon]

yay!

[unborn talon]

@past breach

I'm following the guide

the one you told me to

but it still errors

[lone fractal]

You cannot have spaces in a class name

and it needs to be the same as the name of the file

Your class name is currently Main Ada Lovelace but it should be Main because your file is called Main.java

You need to follow the guide

Not just type about the same, but exactly as they do it

[unborn talon]

but it told me to

in the guide

[lone fractal]

It didn't tell you to name your class 'Main Ada Lovelace`

It told you to name your class 'AdaLovelace'

You can also watch the video above the exercise

[unborn talon]

it's in another language

and the video does not use

uh

intellij

[lone fractal]

File should also be named the same as your class

a class called Main needs to be in a file called Main.java

same for AdaLovelace in a file called AdaLovelace.java

[unborn talon]

can't I just not change the name

[unborn talon]

how do I edit this
