This is my first post so go easy on the formatting guys. Also, I'm very new to Java as well. I came into an error with my compiler with my program and I'm not sure how to fix it. I know I have to create an instance for my static function, but exactly how do I do that?
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class TestAccount{
public static void main (String[] args) {
Account account = new Account(1122, 20000);
Account.setAnnualInterestRate(4.5);
account.withdraw(2500);
account.deposit(3000);
System.out.println("Balance is " + account.getBalance());
System.out.println("Monthly interest is " +
account.getMonthlyInterest());
System.out.println("This account was created at " +
account.getDateCreated());
}
}
class Account {
private int id=0;
private double balance = 0;
private static double annualInterestRate = 0;
private Date dateCreated;
public Account()
{
this.id =0;
this.balance =0;
this.annualInterestRate =0;
this. dateCreated = new Date();
}
public Account(int id, double balance)
{
this.id =id;
this.balance =balance;
this. dateCreated = new Date();
}
public void setID(int id) {
this.id=id;
}
public int getID() {
return this.id;
}
public void setBalance(double balance) {
this.balance = balance;
}
public double getBalance(){
return this.balance;
}
***public static void setAnnualInterestRate(double annualInterestRate){
this.annualInterestRate = annualInterestRate;
}***
public double getAnnualInterestrate() {
return this.annualInterestRate;
}
public Date getDateCreated() {
return this.dateCreated;
}
public double getMonthlyInterest() {
return (this.annualInterestRate)/12;
}
public void withdraw(double amount) {
this.balance -=amount;
}
public void deposit(double amount)
{
this.balance += amount;
}
}
