Question

I’ve probably become a bit to used to Java and am finding this harder than it should be. Heres what I have.

myObject[0] = new item1(this);

class item1
{
private:
    int x;
    int y;

public:    
    item1( passedPointer* pOne )
    {
        x = 5;
        y = 5;
    }

    int returnX() { return x; }

    int returnY() { return y; }
}

Then in another method I thought I could just say:

void check()
{
    int y = item1.returnY();
    int x = item1.returnX();            
}

But I am getting the common error: a nonstatic member reference must be relative to a specific object.

There is only one instance of this class item1, what would be the best way to do this? This is just a simplified fragment of what I’m actually doing, not the actual code.

Answer 1

Item1 is a class. You have to create an instance of it before you can access its non-static members. Try looking here for some basic information.
