Trouble calling this method

[Mark Captain]

I am having trouble using this method

Main driver

Output out = new Output();
choice = out.printClosingMessage(?????);

//Calls the method from the Output class[/b]

public void printClosingMessage(BankAccount account)
	{
	}
//The BankAccount constructor above is from the BankAccount class, the constuctor is
 
 public BankAccount(String accountNumber, double balance)
    {
		this.accountNumber = accountNumber;
		this.balance = balance;
    }

How do i use the first method?

choice = out.printClosingMessage(???);

If your method requires an object as parameter, you either need to create the object, or get it from some other method. Like:

...
BankAccount account = new BankAccount("number", 4711.0);
...
choice = out.printClosingMessage(account);

Did that answer your question?

Ohh and please, use the code tag (above the edit window) to make code samples easier to read.

Fixed that problem but now I am getting a dead code? error

if (account != null)
		{
		choice = in.readMenuChoice();
		while (choice != 4)
			{
				switch (choice)
				{
					case 1:
						balance = bank.getBalance();
						out.printBalance(balance);
					case 2:
						withdrawal = in.readWithdrawalAmount();
						bank.processWithdrawal(withdrawal);
					case 3:
						deposit = in.readDepositAmount();
						bank.processDeposit(deposit);
					default:
						out.printInvalidChoiceMessage(choice);
				}
				choice = in.readMenuChoice();
			}
		out.printClosingMessage(account);
		
	
		}

String account = handleLogin;   ///handleLogin cannot be resolved to a variable   

this statement is incorrect, you need to call handleLogin() method of LoginHandler class through its instance

LoginHandler loginHandler = new LoginHandler();
BankAccount account = loginHandler.handleLogin();

As far as I am concerned, you don’t. A class should be responsible for itself, so the printClosingMessage should be part of the account class. You would call it like this
account123.printClosingMessage();
or like this
account456.printClosingMessage(out);
depending whether you want to pass it a reference to an Output object or not.

Please avoid coloured text; many people find it difficult to read.
