When doing assignments, use methods in your code rather than just putting everything in the main method. It's good form, and it's good to get practice writing code in that style.

if i were to call the method would i just call it by its name?

Eh? Have you read wtd's Intoduction to Java?

You call a void method by it's name, two following parentheses, and a semicolon after those.

well i know a bit about methods but seeking greater

i was wondering is there a way to create methods using methods in different files like how we do

System.out.println ();

where system is =?
out is i guess the class
and println is the method
and () inside would be what we pass in

so how do i use it so my method looks like

___.class.method name ...

u get what im saying

some on please reply to me

i know how to do the regular method calls and call from other classes (in same file)

i have no clue on graphics so don't give me graphic codes stuff please keep it very very simple

thank you

I think what you want to look into is packages. It is relatively simple so a good tutorial will get you going in no time. Smile

Actually, System is the class. In Java, all classes start with an uppercase letter. 'out' is a static member of the 'System' class. In detail, 'out' is a static PrintStream object of the System class. 'println()' is a method of the PrintStream class.

yeah. you can see that in some other places too, or you can make them. if code has a ClassName.whatever without brackets, its a variable or object, if it has brackets, its a method (static in this case). so, this is the syntax for System.out.println();
ClassName.staticVariableName.staticMethodName(ArgumentType argumentName);

Nice try, but println is not a static method. Smile
