first of all I'm very new to java


anyway the code:

public  void setScore(int mod )
    {
      System.out.println("the number of credits recieved is: ");
       mark = mod;
      System.out.println( mark );
    }

public void modifyCredit()
    {
        for(Student student : students) {
            LabClass.setScore(mod); 
            student.c = student.c + mod;

        }
    }

gives me the error:
non static method score(int) cannot be referenced from a static context

what I'm trying to do is have one method (setScore)score for inputting a credit modifier (i.e. losing or gaining a certain number of credits) and another method (modifyCredit) calling that method for each student in the class

am I going about this the right way?
(I'm using blueJ if that's important)

Not easy without seing all your code but I presume tha LabClass is your class
To call setScore() you need a LabClass object

LabClass lc = new LabClass(....whateever the constructor requires)
// now you can call the setScore() method that will reference the instance variables of that object
lc.setScore(n);
