Compile error

[Suja Mudunuri]

This is my method and in this method I am doing different mathematical operations. I am calling this method by passing an int.
Compiler gives me the following errors. I don't understand why. Can somebody help me?

int x = 2;
Vnumbers(x);

public void Vnumbers(int a){
int b = a;
System.out.println("Value of b is : " + b);
}


C:\Sujatha\MyProjects\java\Hellow.java:39: invalid method declaration; return type required
Vnumbers(x);
^
C:\Sujatha\MyProjects\java\Hellow.java:39: <identifier> expected
Vnumbers(x);

int x = 2;
Vnumbers(x);

public void Vnumbers(int a){
int b = a;
System.out.println("Value of b is : " + b);
}

Hi,

It looks like you are calling the method in the top level of the class, rather than in the body of another method?

class Foo
{
int x = 2;
Vnumbers(x); <-- illegal
public void Vnumbers(int a){
int b = a;
System.out.println("Value of b is : " + b);
}
}

Could you post your entire class source please?

Yes, that is what I have done. I corrected it and it is working fine.
Thank You.
I am looking for some samples to review all my basics. If you have any samples can you please give me?
