Crisis with co2 footprint program

 
0
  #1
Nov 5th, 2009
what i am trying to do is take alot of information and use it to calculate a persons carbon footprint based on a list of things that are in the second class of my program. im trying to make everything very easy to read program wise. im doing this assignment and i got in over my head trying to get it done. im trying to work down from bigger problems to specific questions, but at this point i would greatly appreciate it if you guys could point out some of my errors that i am not catching. if anyone can help it is most def appreciated. im super lost and i have to get this done.

7. Create a minimum of five different objects.
8. Your CO2 footprint should account for the
following:
• annual estimate of gasoline used
• annual estimate of electricity used
• annual household waste produced
• annual household waste recycled
• replacement of incandescent bulbs
9. The constructor should include the following parameters:
• annual gasoline used
• average electricity bill and average electricity price
• number of people in home
• recycle paper, plastic, glass, or cans (Booleans)
• number of light bulbs replaced

i have been working for a while and still havent quite gotten far. i have a specific place where im stuck though.
Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. gasFootprint = CO2Footprint.calculateGasEmissions(gas);
it says no static method can not be referenced as a static context

Because you are calling that method statically but it is not declared as a static method. To call it as you have defined it, you would need to create an object of that type and call the method on it.

That method doesn't return anything though, so trying to capture a return value from it won't get you anywhere.

So now you can create a CO2Footprint object and call methods on it
Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. CO2Footprint footprint = new CO2Footprint();
  2. double[] glassReduct = footprint.calcGlassReductions();
