I'm New to Java and I am following some instruction, However When I get to the Strings section
public class String {
public static void main(String[] args) {
java.lang.String name;
name = "luke";
System.out.println("Hello, " + name + "pleased to meet you");
}
}
But I Get
Error: Main method not found in class String, please define the main method as:
public static void main(String[] args)
If you insist on using String as your class name it should be:
public class String {
public static void main(java.lang.String[] args) {
java.lang.String name;
name = "luke";
System.out.println("Hello, " + name + "pleased to meet you");
}
}
I don't think it's particularly wise to try and re-use the names of classes defined in java.lang though.
Since your class is named String, it is being inferred by the compiler as the argument type of your main method.
Try fully qualifying the argument type instead:
public static void main(java.lang.String[] args) {
...
Or better yet, rename your class to use and non-java.lang class name.
You were careful to fully-qualify your reference to java.lang.String for the name variable, but not for the args parameter to main.
Use
public static void main(java.lang.String[] args) {
Of course, this all resulted because you named your class String, the same name as a built-in class in Java. Perhaps you could name it StringTest instead? That would avoid having to worry about class name collision and fully qualifying the Java built-in String.
As your class hides the java.lang.String name, you need to write
public static void main(java.lang.String[] args) {
Better call your class StringTest or something else to avoid this confusion.
public class StringTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String name = "luke";
System.out.println("Hello, " + name + "pleased to meet you");
}
}
why don't you try this
public class StringFirstTry {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String name;
name = "luke";
System.out.println("Hello, " + name + "pleased to meet you");
}
}
