Pls help with #5

[sumant suri]

so i wrote out the simple code for a multiplication table ok. I am almost positive that its correct. Now i keep geting the following error when i try and run it:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main
I have been cing this for 2 days now. Somebody help me!!!
It is soo bad that all i have in main is the following line:
System.out.println("hello") and it still did'nt work.
I can put the code up too if u like or just e-mail me and I'll send u the code.

Not really sure but does your main look similiar to this

public static void main( String[] args )
{
        //code in main goes here
}

You started with this page, right? Did the sample "HelloWorld" compile and run ok?

<font size="+0">
public class HelloWorld 
{
    public static void main( String args[] )
    {         
        System.out.println("hello world!");
    }
}

Thanks for moving this back Marilyn. I acted too hastely by removing it. I should have checked out that #5 referred to assignment Java-5 (Times).
Again my apologies.
For those of you that wont quite understand what I'm about here.
I removed this thread, thinking it did not belong here. Sumant subsequently e-mailed me stating that he was doing the assignments without having them nitpicked. Which means off course that his thread had all right to be here.

Marylin
I like increasing the font size inside of the code. I'll have to remember that next time.

[Johannes de Jong]

Yeah good one . Never knew you could size=+0 either.

I managed to do all the programs till 5 just fine. Now 5 and 6 both give me the same error. I'm positive that my logic is fine 'cause i ran it in C++ and the logic part works just fine.

hey
the code really looks like
public Times
{
public static void main( )
{
//code in main goes here
}
}
I took the String[] args out because i was not taking an input. LIke all i am supposed to type is : java Times
i dont know if that could be the problem but it did'nt work when i tried it with the String[] args in it.

I tested to see if I could get the error you refered to and I found that I got the error when I capitalized the word main in:
This statement caused the error for me:
public static void Main( String[] args )
This statement didn't:
public static void main( String[] args )
I can't think of anything else could be. Hope that helps

I just noticed your last post after I just posted.
Anyway, I tested your statement and it does need the String[] args in there otherwise you will get the error you specified.

The only main() method that the java compiler recognizes is the one that has the String[] args in the parameters. Otherwise it doesn't know where to start.

public static void main( String[] args )

(although Sun knows that you can use other access modifiers like private or protected, the compiler requires everything else in this method signature to work).
