Need Help with methods

[Jere Johnson]

Im getting an error when i call methods i created
in another java file. How do i get this file to
associate with the other java file that i created
my methods in? thanks for your help. Here is code

 
public class SeqOfIntegers {
    public static void main( String[] args ) {
main code goes in here. callouts and etc.....
}
 //==================[ METHOD ]=====================//
 /**
   * Purpose: boolean method to find an integer  
   * @param - i
   *value of the integer to find
   * @precondition
   *   isCurrent() returns true.
   * @return
   *   true if i is found in sequence
   *false if i is not found in sequence
   **/
/*public boolean find (int i)
{ 
Integer I = new Integer (i); //wrapper

if (isCurrent()) // compiler having a problem associating isCurrent() method from another class i created
return (I==i);
else 
throw new IllegalArgumentException();
}

 } // end of class SeqOfIntegers

What does "/*public" match up with?
Please post errors.
Normally if you have the other class in the same directory and compile all the files in that directory - java is able to find methods in other classes. (Assuming that the methods are "public" and stuff like that.)

You don't have an object associated with the method being called so the ompiler is looking for the isCurrent method in the class it is called from. If the isCurrent method is defined in another class you need an instance of that class to call it on. Like this:
otherClassInstance.isCurrent()
hope that helps
