What's wrong on this?

[chals1]

i've put:

class menu {
public static void main(String args[]) {
char eleccionMenu;
char eleccionRead;

public Complejo lectura() {
double a;
double b;

Bla bla...

This is the Javac error:
illegal start of expression
public Complejo lectura() {

 

[lowbk]

does the class Complejo exists?
try importing it.

 

[chals1]

My program has two files:
menu.java
Complejo.java

which are located at same directory.
When compiling 'menu', shouldn't 'Complejo' be compiled as well?

I doubt wether is right to use the "public" keyword of Complejo inside a method. Is that an inappropriate place?

You have to close your "main" method :

class menu {
public static void main(String args[]) {
char eleccionMenu;
char eleccionRead;
} // Close you main method

public Complejo lectura() {
double a;
double b;

Bla bla...

I've followed your post but the same error remains.
Sorry for the repetitive posts but i should have presented this work yesterday.
This is the menu.java:

import consola.*;
class menu {
char eleccionMenu;
public static void main(String args[]) {
char eleccionMenu;
do {
System.out.println("Elija una opción:\n"
System.out.println("1. Sumar dos complejos"
System.out.println("2. Restar dos complejos"
System.out.println("3. Opuesto de un complejo:"
System.out.println("4. Conjugar"
System.out.println("5. Multiplicar dos complejos"
System.out.println("6. Dividir dos complejos"
System.out.println("7. Invertir"
System.out.println("8. Potencia"
System.out.println("9. Raíces"
eleccion = consola.leerchar();
} while( eleccionMenu < '1' || eleccionMenu > '9');
System.out.println(&quot;\n&quot;

switch (eleccionMenu) {
case '1':
c1=lectura();
c2=lectura();
c3 = c1.sumar(c2);
break;
case '2':
c1=lectura();
c2=lectura();
c3 = c1.restar(c2);
break;
case '3':
c1=lectura();
c2 = c1.opuesto();
break;
case '4':
c1=lectura();
c2 = c1.conjugar();
break;
case '5':
c1=lectura();
c2=lectura();
c3 = c1.multiplicar(c2);
break;
case '6':
c1=lectura();
c2=lectura();
c3 = c1.dividir(c2);
break;
case '7':
c1=lectura();
c2 = c1.invertir();
break;
case '8':
c1=lectura();
c2 = c1.potencia;
break;
case '9':
c1=lectura();
c2 = c1.raíces;
break;

}
public Complejo lectura() {
char eleccionRead;
double a;
double b;
Complejo c;

do {
System.out.println(&quot;1. Módulo_Argumento&quot;
System.out.println(&quot;2. Parte real_Parte imaginaria&quot;
eleccionRead = consola.leerchar();
} while( eleccionRead < '1' || eleccionRead > '2');

a = consola.leerdouble();
b = consola.leerdouble();

if((eleccionMenu < 5) && (eleccionRead == 1)) {
a = getParteReal();
b = getParteImaginaria();
}
if((eleccionMenu > 4) && (eleccionRead == 2)) {
a = getMódulo();
b = getArgumento();
}

c = new Complejo(a,b);
return c;
}

}

I repeat, you don't seem to close your main method :

case '9':
c1=lectura();
c2 = c1.raíces;
break;

} // This is the closing brace of the &quot;switch&quot;
} // Add this line

public Complejo lectura() {
char eleccionRead;

 

[Hattusas]

Hologram is exactly right.Do close your main method!
