Creating and Printing Objects

[Kevan Ryan]

Hey Javaranchers,

At the moment, I am struggling through learning the concept of creating your own objects in Java. Right now, I'm attempting to create a class and object, and then print the said object. The program compiles and runs fine, but does not print anything. Because I'm new to the concept of objects, I'm pretty sure the logic of the program is not correct, but I don't know where to look first.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

 
package rational;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

    }

}

class Rational{
    int numerator, denominator; //declarations

    public Rational (){ //constructor
        this.numerator = 0;
        this.denominator = 0;
    }

    public static void printRational (Rational c){
        System.out.println (c.numerator + " " + c.denominator);
    }
        
    public static void main (String[] args){
        Rational x1 = new Rational ();
        System.out.println (x1);
        
        
    }

    }

Your Main.main doesn't do anything. You're not running Rational.main.
