They are two classes. Fraction and calculator. Fraction does things like add, multiply....
The calculator class is supposed to call the methods in the Fraction class and output the data. The problem is i can't figure out where to put the calculator class so that it can output data. Here is the code for the fraction and calculator class. I have tested the calculator code in the main of the fraction and it works. I can't use inheritance due to assignment specifications.

what exactly is your question?

why can't the classes be separate and you just put each class in its own file?

also the "main" method should be static

The calculator class should be in the fraction class but when i try to put in there it won't give me any output. How do i get around that?

The whole thing works but due to my assignment specs I have to do it that way.

Well, Calculator actually uses Fraction, so really Fraction should be an inner class of Calculator if you have to combine them.

Thanks that worked.
