main function, static>non-static?

[delta770]

i have some code here..

public void main(String args[]) {

     ......"some code here"
		
}

public void readTiles() {

     ......"some code here"

}

but i get the error

** FileClassTester.java:4: non-static method read() cannot be referenced from a static context **

why? what? i'm just accessing another function from the main function? i've done that a 100 times before? even if there's no code in readTiles() it give me an error.

Try that

public void main(String[] argv) {

public static void main(String args[])

i've tried that with staitc or without..

if it's without, it says that i need a main function, if it's with, i can't call the other function?? ***??

That is the nature of the language. Static members can only access other static members.
