setting layout of container

[star111792]

hi

i m writing java in notepad. it worked well but my problem is that i want to display my results on frame. i m importing the package "javax.swing.JF rame" for this purpose.
im writing these 2 statements for container

Container c=getContentPan e();
c.setLayout(new XYLayout());

but its not working. its giving an error that "return type is required" at the last statement. how can i overcome this problem???????

thanks

Please elaborate: what did the compiler *exactly* tell you?
