I'm just starting a C# class and I'm not sure what this error means.

error CS0120: An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'HW2.Program.getEntry(string, out double)'

Excerpts of my code:

using System;
namespace HW2 {
  class Program {
    static int Main() {
      double  realPart1;
/* snip */
      // Get Real part of first number
      getEntry("Please enter the Real Part of the first complex number: ", out realPart1);  // Error is pointing to this line
/* snip */
      return 0;
    }//int Main
    
    public void getEntry(string prompt, out double output) {
      bool    loop;
      string  input;
      
      do
      {
        Console.Write(prompt);
        input = Console.ReadLine();
        loop = !double.TryParse(input, out output);
        if (loop)
        {
          Console.WriteLine("** Error with input.");
        }
      } while (loop);
    }//void getEntry
 /* snip */
  }//class Program
}//namespace HW2

I really have no idea what that error means to go about fixing it...

You're getting that because you're calling getEntry(), a non-static method, inside Main, which is a static method. Change getentry to

public static void getEntry(string prompt, out double output) {
      bool    loop;
      string  input;
      
      do
      {
        Console.Write(prompt);
        input = Console.ReadLine();
        loop = !double.TryParse(input, out output);
        if (loop)
        {
          Console.WriteLine("** Error with input.");
        }
      } while (loop);
}//void getEntry

Fantastic! Thanks!
