"static" question (in Eclipse)

[jemminger]

i'm not sure if this is specific to Eclipse, but what does it mean when i get the error

"the static method foo() from the type Foo should be accessed in a static way"

and how to correct it?

thanks,
jeff

figured it out...

changed from
Foo foo = new Foo();
foo.method();

to
Foo.method();

still getting the hang of static/class methods!

The method isn't called 'method' but 'foo'.

 

[jemminger]

stefanwagner,

it's actually neither - this is all pseudocode

Ok. I did't knew the phrase 'getting the hang of sth.', and thought, you're still stuck.

Fazit: wrong pseudocode is wrong code too.

sorry...yes, all sorted out now.

"getting the hang of" == "getting used to" == "learning"
