Simple question

[suresh kamsa]

public class StringTest { 
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        int N = 2;
        public void int add(int N) {
            return 0x100 + N++ ;
        }
    }
}

How do I make this code compile? I am getting Illegal start of expression at statement
public void int add(int N)
Thanks in advance.

Most Java methods only have 1 return type, not 2.

How do I make that programe compile error free?
I change it to
public int adder(int N)
still same error

You also probably want to take the method decalaration out of the main method. You can't have a method within a method. Here, this will compile:

public class StringTest 
{ 
   public static void main(String args[]) 
   {
      int N = 2;
   }
 
   public int add(int N) 
   {
      return 0x100 + N++ ;
   }
}

I'm moving this to JiG (Beginner)

because you can not declare method in any method.
but you call this like

public class StringTest {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        int N = 2;
        add(n);   
    }
    
    public void int add(int N) {
        return 0x100 + N++ ;
    }
}
