How to Call upon a class (inside of another class)

Question

so I would like to run the class "WASD" which I have in my code:

public class MoveWASD extends JFrame { boolean Repeat = true; int Location[] = {40, 40}; public static void main (String args[]) { new MoveWASD(); } public MoveWASD() { super("Use-WASD-to-Move"); setSize(800, 450); setVisible(true); setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE); while(Repeat) {

--> WASD(); }

} public void paint(Graphics g) { g.setColor(Color.WHITE); g.fillRect(0, 0, 800, 450); g.setColor(Color.BLUE); g.fillRect(Location[0], Location[1], 20, 20); } public class WASD implements KeyListener { public void keyPressed(KeyEvent event) { if(event.getKeyChar() == 'w') { Location[1]--; } else if(event.getKeyChar() == 'd') { Location[0]++; } else if(event.getKeyChar() == 's') { Location[1]++; } else if (event.getKeyChar() == 'a') { Location[0]--; } else { Location[0] = Location[0]; } } @Override public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub } @Override public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub } } }

The arrow points to syntax error in my code, apparently when I type in WASD(); it want there to be a method called WASD, what would I need to do for it to look for the CLASS WASD?

Please follow Java naming conventions. It should be repeat and location (not capitalized). — arshajii

you can't call a class , you can create a new object, or you can call a static method inside the class. exactly what are you trying to do ? — Moha the almighty camel

-> WASD();

this is a call to a function.if you want to call the class WASD from MOVEASD then use the new operator..

new WASD();
