Call method from another class

[asahli]

Hi guys,
i have made two java files as followin:
1st file:
import java.io.*;
public class Reader
{
private static BufferedReader stdin =
new BufferedReader( new InputStreamRead er( System.in ) );

public static void main ( String [] args ) throws IOException
{
System.out.prin tln( "input = " + getString());

}


public static String getString() throws IOException
{
String input = stdin.readLine( );
return input;
}

}



and the 2nd file is:
public class Test01
{
public static void main(String[] arguments)
{
System.out.prin tln(Reader.getS tring());
}
}



The problem is that i could'nt call the getString method from Test01 class????
could any one take a look and tell me about it?


thanks

import java.io.*;
public class Test01
{
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
{
System.out.prin tln(Reader.getS tring());
}

It's a compilation problem right? The compiler complains that it can't find a Reader
class. Next time when you're stuck show us exactly what your compiler showed you.
Fire up javac like this for starters:

javac -help

You'll see that you can set a classpath where your already compiled classes are
stored. Javac needs that path to be able to read your compiled Reader class and
check whether or not you've been cheating or goofing etc.

It has nothing to do with parent classes or what else; your compiler wants to know
where that Reader class is; no more no less.

kind regards,
