When trying to call on a method from another class my method as a error at
private class equalsButton implements ActionListener {
// makes the equals button listener
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
System.out.println("=");
InfixToPostfixParens.convert(operator); // Line with error
}
}
Saying Non Static String cannot be referenced from a static context. The variable isn't static but I still get this problem any ideas?
The Bulk of my main program as it stands now (Sorry for the sloppy coding in places)
