Question

Ok.. A very noob question.

This is my first attempt to write a class in java.

I created a project (Bank), a package (bank), and two classes Account, and Driver

So, my project looks like:

  Bank --> src-->bank --> Account.java --> Driver.java

Now Driver.java has main.

How do i call Account.java class from Driver.java

I have included package bank on both the files.

    Account myAccount = **Account**("foobar",12345); bold is where the error is.

It is not being able to find Account class.

Thanks

Answer 1

In Java you create objects by using the keyword new

Account myAccount = new Account("foobar",12345);

As a sidenote:
If all your classes are in the same package you don’t need to import them, but if you had Account in another package then you would have to import it by using

import path.to.package.Account;

Another sidenote as you continue to learn, not really related to this question:
If you were only to call a static method in Account.java, you wouldn’t need to create an object. You would go like:

Account.mymethod()
