I am getting multiple errors, about 15, with my code. I can not understand why. Could someone guide me in the right direction?

Here is my code:

/**************************************************************
* RFDissector.Java
* 
*
* This program will dissect a phone number and give the output
* for the country code, area code, prefix, and line number.
**************************************************************/

public class RFDissector
{

	String [] temp;	//String Split
	String colonSeparated;	//string will hold the phone number
	String countryCode;	//country code
	int areaCode;	//area code
	int prefix;	//prefix
	int number;	//line number

	//mutators

	public RFDissector(String colonSeparated)
	{
		this.colonSeparated = ColonSeparted;
		temp = colonSeparated.split(":");
	}
	public String getPhoneNumber()
	{
		return  colonSeparated;
	}
	public String getPhoneNumber(1)
	{
		countryCode=colonSeparated.subString(0,colonSeparated.indexOf(":"));
	}
	public String getPhoneNumber(2)
	{
		String AreaCode = colonSeparated.subString(countryCode + 1, colonSeparated.indexOf(":"));
		areaCode = Integer.parseInt(AreaCode);
	}
	public String getPhoneNumber(3)
	{
		String prefix= colonSeparated.subString(countryCode + 2, colonSeparated.indexOf(":"));
			prefix = Integer.parseInt(prefix);
	}

	public String getPhoneNumber(4)
	{
		String number = colonSeparated.subString(countryCode + 3, colonSeparated.indexOf(":"));
		number = Integer.parseInt(number);
	}





}//end public class RFDissector

Here is my driver:

public class RFProg1
{
	public static void main (String[] args)
	{
	  RFDissector phone = new RFDissector("1:919:882:5000");

		  System.out.println(phone.getPhoneNumber());

		  System.out.println(phone.getPhoneNumber(4));

		  System.out.println(phone.getPhoneNumber(1));

		  System.out.println(phone.getPhoneNumber(3));

		  System.out.println(phone.getPhoneNumber(2));

	} // end main
}// end class

What errors are you getting? What line are they on? Can you copy and paste the exact errors you're getting?

You do not define a method this way
public String getPhoneNumber(1)

instead it would look like
public String getPhoneNumber( int i )

Then you check the value of i (if 1, 2, 3 etc.). You will also have to remove all of your repeating methods that don't work, this is the only one needed.

[monkeyjam]

ok so it would look like this?

public String getPhoneNumber(int i)
	{
		countryCode=colonSeparated.subString(0,colonSeparated.indexOf(":"));
	}
	

When you say remove the repeating methods, dont I need to have a method for those? I.E. areaCode, prefix, number?

what would become of those methods? Or do I just delete them all together?
