Hello, how can i get this code working?

Question

public class TrivialApplication
public static void main(String args[]){
class HelloObject
String greeting="String Test";
void speak()
System.out.println(greeting);
?

Answer 1

At a guess I'd say it wouldn't like that because you've defined the class HelloObject inside main.
Try like so (formatting is done with [ code ] and [ /code ] tags):
public class TrivialApplication
    private String greeting;
    public static void main(String[] args)
        TrivialApplication ta = new TrivialApplication();
        ta.speak();
    public TrivialApplication()
        greeting = "String Test";
    public void speak()
        System.out.println(greeting);
}This is a bit of overkill, I certainly could have done it with less code, but it shows the standard format. How you declare variables, and initialise them in the constructor. How to create an object and call methods of the object.
Or, if you really wanted the HelloObject class...
public class TrivialApplication
    public static void main(String[] args)
        HelloObject ho = new HelloObject();
        ho.speak();
    class HelloObject()
        private String greeting;
        public HelloObject()
            greeting = "String Test";
        public void speak()
            System.out.println(greeting);
}HTH,
