How do I print out the value returned by a method in main??

Question

I'm a total newbie at java, I want to know how I can print out the value returned by this function in the "Main" part of my class:
public int getTotalPrice(int price)
int totalprice=price+(price*0.08);
return totalprice;
I just want to know how to print out the value for total price under "public static void main(String[] args)". thanks in advance,
Brad

Answer 1

Few ways you could do it, one way would be to create an instance of the class and call the method:
public class Test
    public double getTotalPrice(int price)
        double totalprice = price + (price * 0.08);
        return totalprice;
    public static void main(String[] args)
        Test t = new Test();
        System.out.println(t.getTotalPrice(52));
}Or another would be to make getTotalPrice() static and you could call it directly from main.
