Cannot Understand Errors

[mtorbin]

Hey all,

I just finished taking a four day Java course and so I'm trying to refresh and I'm getting some errors. I wrote a very simple class that is supposed to find volume:

class findVolume {
public static void main (String args[]) {
if (args.length != 3) {
System.out.println("Please give me a value for Length, Width and Depth.");
}
else {
computeVolume(args[0], args[1], args[2]);
}

public static int computeVolume(int argLength, int argWidth, int argDepth) {
int myLength = argLength;
int myWidth = argWidth;
int myDepth = argDepth
int myVolume = argLength * argWidth * argDepth;

return myVolume;
}
}
}

Unfortunately, I'm getting two errors:

findVolume.java:10: illegal start of expression
public static int computeVolume(int argLength, int argWidth, int argDepth) {
^
findVolume.java:17: ';' expected
}
^
2 errors

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

- MT

You're missing a close-curly ( } ) to end your 'main'.

Ah... I think I got it now. Here is the finished code:

class findVolume {
public static void main (String args[]) {
if (args.length != 3) {
System.out.println("Please give me a value for Length, Width and Depth.");
}
else {
int theLength = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
int theWidth = Integer.parseInt(args[1]);
int theDepth = Integer.parseInt(args[2]);

int finalVolume = computeVolume(theLength, theWidth, theDepth);

System.out.println("The volume is " + finalVolume);
}

}

public static int computeVolume(int argLength, int argWidth, int argDepth) {
int myLength = argLength;
int myWidth = argWidth;
int myDepth = argDepth;
int myVolume = argLength * argWidth * argDepth;

return myVolume;
}
}

Must my methods always be outside of Main?

A method definition is an entity that cannot be inside another method definition, bot just main.
