Have a question,please help

Question

class LessonTwoA {
text = "I'm a Simple Program";
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println(text);
The Error messages shows "non-static variable text cannot be referenced from a static context".
I think the reason is "the text is not static variable so I have to create an instance of the class(LessonTwoA)",right?
Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

public void static main(String[] args) is a static method, which means that it can only reference variables that belong to the class - i.e. static variables. Generally main is used to run an application and so should not have access to one particular objects instance variables.
Do this
public class Thing {
private static String text = "A string of characters";
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("text = "+text);
}- hope that helped, Edd.
