Method not accessible from other classes

Question

Hi,
I ve defined a class and would like to create an instance of it from another class. That works fine, I am also able to access class variables. However the class method "calcul" which is defined as following, is not accessible from other classes:
class Server {
static String name;
public static void calcul (String inputS) {
int length = inputS.length();
for (int i = 0 ; i < length; i++) {
System.out.println(newServer.name.charAt(i)); }
If I create an instant of the class in the same class, the method is then available for the object.
I am using JBuilder, so I can see, which methods and variables are available for an object. Thanks for your help

Answer 1

calcul is a static method, that means you do not need an instance of server to run this method. This method is also public, but your class Server is not, your Server class is package protected. So only classes within the same package has Server can use its method. How to use the calcul method?// somewhere in the same package as the Server class
Server.calcul( "toto" );
