Rules Question

[Mike Cunningham]

The following code will not compile. I suspect it's because we can't have nested/inner methods? But I'm not sure.....let me know your thoughts.

public class TestInnerMethod {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
int fieldSix = getFieldSeven();
int fieldSeven = 30;
int getFieldSeven() {
return fieldSeven;
}
        System.out.println( "Value of fieldSix: " + fieldSix );
    }
}

that's right nested methods are not allowed.
What does the compilation says ???

The compiler output is expecting a ";" right after "getFieldSeven".
So, basically it says, "Don't you want to declare a variable? That's what I thought! So, pick up your book, Mike, and learn JAVA so you can get certified!!!"

You got it Mike.
