Okay so I have the following code for a school project. Its only half finished so far. I have a problem with the ‘Residents’ function. It says I cannot reference a non-static variable from a static context.
import java.util.Scanner;
class Hotel
{int noofemployees=10;
int salary2=10000;
int salary3=8000;
int salary4=2000;
String resident1="John Smith";
String resident2="John Smith";
String resident3="John Smith";
String resident4="John Smith";
String resident5="John Smith";
String resident6="John Smith";
String resident7="John Smith";
String resident8="John Smith";
String resident9="John Smith";
String resident10="John Smith";
public static void main()

System.out.println("Enter 2 if you're a resident.");
System.out.println("Enter 3 to exit.");
int choice=input.nextInt();
if(choice==1)

You would have to make your string variables static for this to work:
A better preferred approach here would be to make all methods & class variables non-static create an instance of your class.
