Functions

Hi,

I can't get my function to work. Here's the code...

static void Main(string[] args)
{
int answer = addNumbers(1, 5);
Console.WriteLine(answer);
Console.ReadLine();
}

public int addNumbers(int num1, int num2)
{
int result = num1 + num2;
return result;
}

The error is "An object reference is required for the nonstatic field, method or property ConsoleApllication1.Program.addNumbers(int,int)

It's probably something really simple!

Hi Simon,

As the error message says, the problem is that you are trying to call a non-static method from a static method. Your Main() function is static (declared with the static keyword), but the addNumbers() method is not. For more information on static members, please have a look at the following chapter in the tutorial: Classes - Static members

Now, to fix this quickly, simply declare your addNumbers() method as static, like this:

public static int addNumbers(int num1, int num2) { ... }

Hope that helps

hello well i have a problem here, i need to creat a lot of functions for a class but my problem is that i cant quite understando how to call them they all use parameters and i cant manage to get a function to run, besides i dont know how to invoque it from the main and i dont know how to put the parameters inside the (), im really new to C# and im getting desperate because i've been working for five days on this program and functions dont help me, and they are a requisite so if somebody would be so kind on giving me a how-to really basic on functions i would certainly apreciate that thx.

thanks, I needed that
