"cannot be applied to ()" error?

[cerise]

I'm trying to make an object to represent a single playing card. Like if it's an EIGHT of HEARTS, the object should be "8 H". Here is what I came up with, but I keep getting the error message,
"DisplayDeck.ja va:12: switchRank(int) in DisplayCards cannot be applied to ()
sRank = dispCards.switc hRank();" .
The error points out the dot in "dispCards.switchRank()".

Can someone help me out?

Thank you.


public class DisplayCards {
String sRank = "";
String sSuit = "";
int rank = 1;
int suit = 1;

public String switchSuit(int suit) {
switch(suit) {
case 1:
sSuit = "D";
//break;
case 2:
sSuit = "H";
//break;
case 3:
sSuit = "S";
//break;
case 4:
sSuit = "C";
//break;
default:
break;
}
return sSuit;
}

public String switchRank(int rank) {
switch(rank) {
case 1:
sRank = "A";
case 2:
sRank = "2";
break;
case 3:
sRank = "3";
break;
case 4:
sRank = "4";
break;
case 5:
sRank = "5";
break;
case 6:
sRank = "6";
break;
case 7:
sRank = "7";
break;
case 8:
sRank = "8";
break;
case 9:
sRank = "9";
break;
case 10:
sRank = "10";
break;
case 11:
sRank = "J";
break;
case 12:
sRank = "Q";
break;
case 13:
sRank = "K";
break;
default:
break;
}
return sRank;
}

}



this is the main class.

public class DisplayDeck {
public static void main(String[] args) {

int rank = 0;
String sRank="";
DisplayCards dispCards = new DisplayCards ();


rank = 2;
sRank = dispCards.switc hRank();
}
}

Your switchRank method needs a single parameter of type int; you defined it that
way. You are trying to call it without using a parameter (see your main method).
That's what your compiler is complaining about. You should pass a single int
value to that method.

Thank you SO MUCH. It's compiling fine now.
