Calling instance method from an instance of a class.

Question

Hi,
Can anyone tell me How can i change this TestAccount0 class so that i get the balance from Account class.
public class TestAccount0
   public static void main(String[] args) {
     Account.deposit(1000);
     System.out.println(Account.getBalance());
}I have done it this way. I just want to print the balance without* saving the instance of the Account class in any variable in the 1st statement. Can i do it this way?. I have made instance of Account class to access deposit method but how can i print whatever is in the first statement? What can i do to print 1000 as says in the 1st statement because apparently it is printing balance 0.
Thanks
public class TestAccount0
   public static void main(String[] args) {
             (new Account()).deposit(1000);//make instance of Account class to access the method of Account class.
             System.out.println((new Account()).getBalance());// prints the balance which in this case would be 1000.
}

So the original code doesn't read Account.deposit(1000) at all?
I think you can make that work by writing instance of class I.e (new Account()).deposit(1000).(a) please answer the question
(b) Not unless you want to throw away the Account, and its balance, immediately. Which doesn't make sense, does it?
Alternatively the original code doesn't look like that at all ...
ok...you are saying they have given me the wrong code to fix.No, I am saying that either the original code doesn't look like what you posted here, or they have given you an impossible assignment. It should look like this:
Account ac = new Account();
ac.deposit(1000);
System.out.println("balance="+ac.getBalance());
