Ok so i am trying to redo my inventory program but the problem is that it won't run because i don't have a main method. Every time i try to put a main method in I get an error. Is there something wrong with my code thats keeping me from putting in a working main method??? Please help.

package inventory;

// Import the format class to format values into currency format.
import java.text.DecimalFormat;

public class Inventory {
   
    int inventorySize = 5;
    private Car items[] = new Car[inventorySize];

    //  format values into currency form.
    DecimalFormat formatter = new DecimalFormat("$##,###.00");

    
    public void addCar(Car item) {
        for (int i = 0; i < inventorySize; i++) {
            if (items[i] == null) {
                items[i] = item;
                return;
            }
        }
    }

    
    

    public double getTotalInvValue() {
        double sumOfInventory = 0.0;
        
        
        for (Car item : items) {
            
            if (item != null) {
                sumOfInventory += item.getItemValue();
            }
        }
        return sumOfInventory;
    }

    // Prints the inventory list including name, quantity, price, and total stock value for each item.
    public void printInventory() {
        System.out.println("Printing items in inventory...\n");

        boolean hasItems = false;

        for (Car item : items) {
            if (item != null) {
                hasItems = true;
                System.out.println(item.toString() + " stock: " + item.getInstock() + " Value of Stock: " + formatter.format(item.getItemValue()));
            }
        }  

        // for no items 
        if (!hasItems) { System.out.println("Inventory is empty .\n"); }
    }
}

  package inventory;


public class Car {
    // Private variables
    private String name;
    private int stock;
    private double price;
    private int productid = 0;

    // Constructor that user can specify a name, quantity, and price for items.
    public Car (int productId, String itemname, int instock, double itemprice) {
        productid = productId;
        setName(itemname);
        setinstock(instock);
        setPrice(itemprice);
    }



    public void setName(String itemname) {
        name = itemname;
    }


    // Sets whats in stock if negative, defaults to zero.
    public void setinstock(int Instock) {
        int instock = 0;
           if ( Instock > 0) {
            Instock = stock;
        }
        else { stock = 0; }
    }


    // Set price of a product and defaults it to zero if negative.
    public void setPrice(double itemPrice) {
        if (itemPrice > 0.00) {
            price = itemPrice;
        }
        else { price = 0.00; }
    }

    // Get the product's name
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public int getInstock() {
        int Instock = 0;
        return stock;
    }

    public double getPrice() {
        return price;
    }

    // Calculate the value of stock on this particular item.
    public double getItemValue() {
        return (price * (double)stock);
    }

    // String representation of the product
    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return name + " - " + price;
    }




}

Put in a main method where you think it should go, then repost your code. Also, you posted two classes in one code block. . I hope that your classes are defined in separate files. You can't define two classes (i.e. your car class and your Inventory class) in the same file unless one is an inner class of the other (but in your case, it is not, and if you don't know about inner classes yet, don't worry about it).
