i am new to java is there is any possible way of calling a function within same class without creating a object for the class my program is
public class Puppy{
public Pup(String name){
System.out.println("Passed Name is :" + name );
}
public static void main(String []args){
public Pup( "tommy" );
}
}
i want to call function pup without creating object for it ,is it possible?
You can declare the method to be static:
public static void Pup(String name){
...
}
As an aside: you should use standard Java naming conventions and start your method name with a lower-case letter:
public static void pup(String name){ ...
static method requires an object (that gets bound to this when the method is executing).
Try this:
public class Puppy{
public static void Pup(String name){
System.out.println("Passed Name is :" + name );
}
public static void main(String []args){
Pup("tommy");
}
}
You can define Pup as statis method like:
public static void Pup(String name){
// This constructor has one parameter, name.
System.out.println("Passed Name is :" + name );
}
And from main call it like:
Pup("tommy");
There are couple of issues in your code:
Pupsays it is a constructor. But it isn't. It isn't a method either because it doesn't have a return type. You seem to be in a lot of confusion about Java syntax.
