Thank you for the reply
I am new to Java
What is wrong with the way it is coded?The error message tells you what's wrong: You're trying to reference a non-static variable from a static context.
If you don't know what that means, then click the link I provided and look at the results from that google search. You might have to go through a few before you find a satisfactory explanation. And after you've done that, if you have specific questions about things you didn't understand there, please post again.
