Why am I getting errors regarding non-stationary methods referencing a static context?

Question

The following block of code I try to print properties, whose location, monthlyRent, numberOfBedroomsdefined in a class Property, are these parameters method LettingAgent class. When I compiled, the error occurs in the if line, where it is indicated that a non-static method, for example getlocation(), cannot refer to a static context.

Answer 1

In the last method that you define (formatted below):

/**
 * Method for printing unoccupied property of the class LettingAgent.
 */
public void printListOfUnoccupiedProperty(char Location, double maxmonthlyRent, int miniNoBeds) {
    // initialise instance variables
    for (Property Property : agproperty) {
        if ((Property.getLocation().equals(Location))
                && (Property.get(monthlyRent).equals(maxmonthlyRent))
                && (agproperty.get(numberOfBedrooms).equals(miniNoBeds))) {
            System.out.Println(Propnumber);
            Property.printProperty();
        } else {
            System.out.println("The Property number is not valid");
        }
    }
}

in line:

&& (Property.get(monthlyRent).equals(maxmonthlyRent))

you call the getvariable method Property. I think it should be Property.getMonthlyRent().

, Java , . -

for (Property property : agproperty) { ...

Answer 2

, BlueJ, , .

non-static method getLocation() cannot be referenced from a static context

Property Property :

for(Property property : agproperty){

, :

if((Property.getLocation().equals(Location))&& ...

Property , Property.getLocation() . :

if((Property.getLocation().equals(Location))&& ...

Property.

, Property.get(monthlyRent), . Property .

:

char cannot be dereferenced

, char. , :

property.getLocation().equals(Location) ...

equals char, , . ( ?)

, double.

property.getmonthlyRent().equals(maxmonthlyRent)

:

agproperty.get(numberOfBedrooms).equals(miniNoBeds)
