How to access a method from the main function in java

Question

Here's my code:

public class Wallgame {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new Hello();
    }
    public void Hello() {
        System.out.println("Hello!");
    }
}

This does not work, and I don't know why I can't access the Hello method. Thanks!

In addition to the static/non-static issue, that's not the correct syntax to call a method. You only use `new` when creating an object. — resueman, Sep 26 '16 at 23:53
This is a basic foundational knowledge question and is best answered by reading an introductory Java book or tutorial. — Hovercraft Full Of Eels, Sep 27 '16 at 00:20
I fixed my problem... I figured out by myself :D. I just did `Hello()` instead of adding `new` and made it a `static void`. — MCGuy, Sep 27 '16 at 02:55

Hello method should be static and you call it by writing Hello(); in the main method.

You also have to change the `public void` to `static void` – MCGuy Sep 27 '16 at 02:56
