cant find my main error, debugging at java [duplicate]

Question

so I'm running a program in java and I can't really find the main error this is my code:

public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { double myCheck = 50.00; double yourCheck = 19.95; double fiinalRATE = 0.15; System.out.println("Tips are"); calcTip(myCheck); calcTip(yourCheck); public void calcTip(double bill); { tip = bill * fiinalRATE; System.out.println("The tip should be at least " + tip); } }

and this is the error that I'm getting I think its the header but I don't really know what to put I'm kinda new at java though

You need to define your method calcTip on the class level next to your main method, not inside it. — user6073886

You can't declare function inside function. You have to pull function out from main() to the Main.class

You cannot declare a method inside another method. So the compiler gets crazy :) Just move you calcTip() function outside main() function (after closing curly bracket of main() or before declaration of main()).

public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { double myCheck = 50.00; double yourCheck = 19.95; double fiinalRATE = 0.15; System.out.println("Tips are"); calcTip(myCheck); calcTip(yourCheck); } public static void calcTip(double bill) { // fiinalRate must be declared as parameter of calcTip() // or as static field in Main class, // otherwise the code doesn't compile. double tip = bill * fiinalRATE; System.out.println("The tip should be at least " + tip); } }

this doesn't compile since fiinalRATE is not known inside of calcTip
@f1sh you're right, as well as Gal Fudim who suggested edition with 'static' key-word for caclTip(). I'll edit
