isMember boolean method on int array: Java help

[bustersox]

I am having problems getting my code to work properly. I cannot seem to get the results to print and get this error message
"IsMemberMethod.java:59: isMember(int[]) in IsMemberMethod cannot be applied to () System.out.println(searchValue + ": " + isMember());",
but I cannot seem to work around it.
Also, not sure if I am following the logic of the project description in general. I have found that I have issues with boolean expressions for some reason. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

the error message describes what is to be said:
you're calling the method isMember() without parameters, but this method does not exist.
replace the isMember() in your print by isMember(numbers)

next, I doubt you'll method 'll do what you ultimately want it to do, but I think that'll be quite clear

[bustersox]

non-static method isMember(int[]) cannot be referenced from a static context System.out.println(searchValue + ": " + isMember(numbers));

This is the error message I get referencing numbers. It should be clear to me what I am doing wrong, but it is not. Java is unfortunately not one of my strengths. So my isMember method does not make any sense at all?

Thanks for helping!

if does make sense, but it is impossible to call a non-static method from within a static method, unless you create an Object through which you call that method.

so, since you're not using objects, declare that method as:

public static boolean isMember(int[] numbers){
...
}

also, if I'm right about what you're trying to do, you'll need to add the searchValue as a parameter:

if(numbers.length > 0)          {             for(int i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++)                System.out.println(searchValue + ": " + isMember());            System.out.println();         }

you don't need this loop, since the value of searchValue nor the contents of your array change. replace this by:

System.out.println(searchValue + ": " + isMember(numbers, searchValue));

after this, change your method to:

public static boolean isMember(int[] numbers, int searchValue){
//here you can use a loop to check whether or not searchValue
//is a member of numbers, after which you return either true, or false
}
