[unreal edge]

you copied the a: and b: inlay hints into source code

remove those

[shadow igloo]

it still doesnt run

@unreal edge sorry for the ping

[unreal edge]

you aren't calling new Point
you had the parentheses before, why did you remove them

you also had a ; after y=b

why are you removing code that works?

and make sure you've saved

[shadow igloo]

now?

[unreal edge]

you have another missing ;

[shadow igloo]

rip

and now

[unreal edge]

have you saved?

and are you even running this file

[shadow igloo]

yes

[shadow igloo]

yes

this is what it says

[low prism]

U really sure that u are running this file?

[unreal edge]

your errors point to Point.java and Main.java, which are clearly both not this file

[shadow igloo]

yes why

[shadow igloo]

this is my first prog in java lmao do u mind explaining what exactly this means

[unreal edge]

you aren't running this file

[shadow igloo]

isnt this how u run the prog

[stiff bridge]

Read the error message. The problem is at Point.java 5th line. And you are using it on Main.java 11th line, thats what the error message is saying.

You probably missed another ; around Point.java 5th line...

[shadow igloo]

i unserstand that but there is no ; missing

[low prism]

Sir u have a file that is named Point.java and one Main.java?

[shadow igloo]

What? 😭

I have a file named demonstration_21

[stiff bridge]

In this case you are running the wrong java file.

[shadow igloo]

how do i run the right one then?

[long owl]

right click run file 🤔

or if u have java added to path variables then use ur terminal

[shadow igloo]

thats what i did

amd it says the same thing

[long owl]

U didnt solve it till now?!

[shadow igloo]

nope

[stiff bridge]

Can you send us the whole code so we can run it at least?

[shadow igloo]

class Point{
    int x,y;
    void GetPoint(int a, int b){
        x=a;
        y=b;
    }
}
class Demonstration_21{
    public static void main (String args[]){
        Point p = new Point();
        p.GetPoint(5,10);
        System.out.println(p.x);

    }
}```

btw yesterday someone solved your problem:

[shadow igloo]

oh where was this i didnt see rip
also ik it works bc i used an online compiler to check, i want to use vscode though but am not able to figure out whats wrong

[stiff bridge]

Forget vscode, its a big 💩

use the terminal

[shadow igloo]

😭

[shadow igloo]

?

[stiff bridge]

1. Rename your method because it's strange. It's not getting the points, it's setting them, or changing...

2. use terminal

go to the folder that conatins your Demonstration_21.java file

right click - open terminal here

[shadow igloo]

GetPoint?

[stiff bridge]

javac Demonstration_21.java

then

java Demonstration_21

[stiff bridge]

Yes, your method is changing those points based on what values you give to the method, not getting them.

Sounds strange... Change it to setPoints

[shadow igloo]

am i blind or is there no open terminal 💀

[stiff bridge]

dont right click on the file

right click in the file browser somewhere
