if says main method not public whenever i run this code but it builds without a problem

import javax.swing.*;
import java.text.*;

class ch6Num31 {
	
	private static void main (String [] args) {
		
		System.out.println ("hello");
		
		
		
		//slot incoin;
		//incoin = new slot();
		//incoin.setIncoin(coins, amtcoins);
	}
}


class dslot {
	
	private static final double MAX_NUMBER = 3;
	private static final double MIN_NUMBER = 1;
	private static final double NO_NUMBER = 0;
	
	private double number;
	
	public dslot(){
		
		number = NO_NUMBER;
	}
	
	public void turn(){
		number = (double)(Math.floor(Math.random()*(MAX_NUMBER - MIN_NUMBER + 1)) + MIN_NUMBER);
	}
	
	public double getNumber(){
		return number;
	}
}

class slot {
	
	private double incoins, outcoins, scoins;//, left;
	double amtcoins = Double.parseDouble (JOptionPane.showInputDialog (null, "How many coins do you have?" ));
	double coins = Double.parseDouble (JOptionPane.showInputDialog (null, "Please import 1 to 4 coins that you want to bet." ));
	
	private static final double MAX_NUMBER = 3;
	private static final double MIN_NUMBER = 1;
	private static final double NO_NUMBER = 0;
	private double number;
	
	public slot () {
		
		number = NO_NUMBER;
		
	}
	
	//roll
	public void turn(){
		number = (double)(Math.floor(Math.random()*(MAX_NUMBER - MIN_NUMBER + 1)) + MIN_NUMBER);
	}
	
	public double getNumber(){
		return number;
	}
	
	//Coins2
	public double getScoins() {
		return scoins;
	}
	
	public void setScoins () {
		scoins = amtcoins * 10;
	}
	
	//Coins
	public double getInCoins() {
		return incoins;
	}
	
	public void setIncoins () {
		 if (coins == 0 || coins >= 5){
		 	System.out.println ("IMPOSSIBLE");
		 }
	}
	
	//Results

	}

	 		 if	(two.getNumber() == 1){
	 			System.out.print ( "BELL" );
	 		}
 				 if	(three.getNumber() == 1){
 					System.out.print ( "BELL" );
 					System.out.println ( "You won $ " + coins * 10 ); 
 				}
 				
 		else if (one.getNumber() == 2){
			System.out.print ( "GRAPE" );

	//	}
	}
	
	//left	
}

umm it's just cause your main method up at the top where it prints out "hello" is declared private...

[pbl]

sure it will build
nothing stop you from having a private static void main() method
but when you
> java ch6Num31
the JRE looks looks for a public static void main(String[] args) method in that class which it can't find

pbl, I have a quick question/possible fix?

class ch6Num31 {

Does that have to be public class?

No it has
private static void main(....

Alright, in supplement to fixing that, does it matter if it is public class or not? (Just sort of curious)

EDIT: Nvm I ran a test program and found that it indeed does not matter. Thanks anyway!

Sorry

public class Toto {

	private static void main(String[] args) {
		System.out.println("Hello");
	}
}

My Eclipse refuses to launch it as an Application
At the command prompt I get an "Unsupported class version error"

so main() has to be public
