Help with simple error in java

[DallasFan3]

Ok, well Ive pretty much finished my program and now all thats left is this error that keeps coming up and I dont know how or where to fix it. The error comes up under the bracket. Iam guess Iam missing a bracket at the end, but when I put one there, then a lot of errors all over the code come up. Can anyone help?

Heres my code,

import java.util.*;

public class Sizes {

    public static void main(String[] args) { //This is where the error comes up, Under the bracket//


    public static void menu(Scanner kbd, int height, int weight, int age)
    {

    int choice=0, answer, Y, N;

    System.out.print("1. Calculate Hat Size");
    System.out.print("2. Calculate Jacket Size");
    System.out.print("3. Calculate Waist Size");
    System.out.print("4. No More Calculations");

    System.out.println("Make a choice:");
    choice = kbd.nextInt();

    if (choice == 1)
    {
        displayHat(weight, height);
    }

    else 
        if (choice == 2)
        {
            displayJacket(weight, height);
        }

    else
        if (choice == 3)
        {
            displayWaist(weight);
        }

        else 
            if (choice == 4)
            {
                System.out.println("Is there another person for which to calculate sizes?" + " " + "(Y/N)");
                answer = kbd.nextInt();

                if(answer == Y)
                {
                    menu(kbd, height, weight, age);
                }
                else
                    if (answer == N)
                    {
                        System.out.print("Thanks");
                    }
        }

    }

    public static void getData()
    {

        Scanner kbd = new Scanner(System.in);

        int height, weight, age;

        System.out.println("Enter your height (in inches):");
        height = kbd.nextInt();

        System.out.println("Enter your weight (in pounds):");
        weight = kbd.nextInt();

        System.out.println("Enter your age (in years):");
        age = kbd.nextInt();

        menu(kbd, height, weight, age);
    }

    public static double hatSize (int weight, int height)
    {
    return weight/height * 2.9;
    }

    public static void displayHat (int weight, int height)
    {
        System.out.println("Your hat size is: " + hatSize(weight,height));
    }

    public static double jacketSize (int weight, int height)
    {
    return weight * height / 288;;
    }


    public static void displayJacket (int weight, int height)
    {
        System.out.println("Your jacket size is: " + jacketSize(weight,height));
    }


    public static double waistSize (int weight)
    {   
        return weight / 5.7;;
    }

    public static void displayWaist (int weight)
    {
        System.out.println("Your jacket size is: " + waistSize(weight));
    }

    }

P.S. Iam sorry I havent put any code-tags. I dont know how.

[hanvyj]

[ code ] and [ /code ] (without spaces)

its very unreadable without tags, exspecially since there is so much

[hanvyj]

public static void main(String[] args) { //This is where the error comes up, Under the bracket//

} //where the missing bracket should be (assuming you even want your main method)

public static void menu(Scanner kbd, int height, int weight, int age)
{
    //a very large method
}

//} an error causing bracked, as menu() is enclosed in a method

your problem is you are opening the main method , but never closing it

if you put a } at the end, then the menu method is enclosed in the main method, and so it produces an error

Oh wow, thanks.

But now when I try to run it, nothing comes up. Why wont it work?

If you have problems like this, best thing to do is avoid them!
I can't tell from your post but having proper indentation is a life saver when you have an error such as yours, especially if you are working with a lot of code.

[Akill10]

Oh wow, thanks.

But now when I try to run it, nothing comes up. Why wont it work?

Because you more than likely don't have anything in your main method after closing the brace.

[hanvyj]

yep, assuming you close the brace, or deleted the main method you now have a program that does nothing. because you havn't told it do do anything yet. You need to put something in the main method - its what the program starts in

[DallasFan3]

Ok I did put another bracket in, but then everything goes wrong. What do I need to do?

[Akill10]

Are you saying you put another bracket in after you put the bracket in?

[DallasFan3]

ok like I put the end bracket to the main method at the end of the code, but when I did that all the variable names came up as errors and the computer says the void methods cant be used there. What do I need to do to make it work?

[DallasFan3]

Or what part of my code needs to be in the main method brackets?

We have no idea what your program does, did you not write it without a point in which to start? If I wrote a console application without a main method, then wanted to "use" the class, I would do something along the lines of:

public class HelloWorld
{ 
	public void doSomething()
	{
		System.out.println("Hello World");
	}
		
	public static void main(String [] args)
	{
		//make an instance of helloworld to do something
                HelloWorld hw = new HelloWorld();
		hw.doSomething();
	}

}
