Question

I’m new to Java and tried to get things running on my computer.

A simple “hello world program” fails calling a method

class helloworld
{   
    public static void main(String[] param)
    {
        helloWorld();
        System.exit(0);
    }

    public static void helloWorld();
    {
        System.out.println("hello world");
    }
}

I get the following error:

.\helloworld.java:11: error: missing method body, or declare abstract
       public static  void helloworld();
                           ^

Answer 1

Remove the semicolon on the end of this line: public static void helloWorld();
