This class definition kind of looks like a mess.

Question

It seems I had the right idea and especially after I got some help for my class
"Complex." The last part of the class won't compile though. I'm using NetBeans.
The question I need to answer is "Write the toString method such that it
displays an object in the following format: 5 - 3j where 5 and -3 are the
contents of the instance variables. Here is the code I have so far:

public class Complex {
public static void main(String[] args) {
private int I; // Real Part
private int J; // Imaginary Part
private int a;
private int b;
private int c=5;
private int d=-3;
public int reverse;
public int moveBy;
public void setComplex(int I, int J, int a, int b)
this.I=a;
this.J=b;
public int getI()
return I;
public int getJ()
return J;
public int getc()
return c;
public void setComplex(int I, int J)
this.I=I;
this.J=J;
if (I==J)
System.out.println("true");
else
System.out.println("false");
public void setreverse(int a, int b)
this.I=b;
this.J=a;
public int getreverse()
return reverse;
public void setmoveBy(int I, int J, int c)
this.I=I+c;
this.J=J+c;
public int getmoveBy()
return moveBy;
System.out.println(c+d*J.toString());
{code}

I was playing around with your suggestions and all the code
I tried didn't work. So I will give a sample piece of code which
may not be the best approximation of what is required out of
all my attempts.
public String Remove toString();
return c+d*J;
}I've never heard of "Remove".Why did you put "Remove" in there? Do you normally add words you've never heard of, and which the compiler rejects, randomly into your code, hoping it will magically do the right thing, even though if you just read it as plain English text it makes no sense? Think about what you're doing! Each step you take should have a specific purpose, a specific meaning, and have a specific result!
Also your implementation still isn't going to work. The assignment gave a specific format for the resulting string, and you're not following it. (Hint: toString produces a textual representation of the object.)
