Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main

Below is my code, and there are no errors in the actual code, but it won't run and I am not sure how to fix it. I have been working on this assignment for hours and keep receiving the same error in the output box over and over.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class whatTheGerbils 
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
{
    whatTheGerbils toRun = new whatTheGerbils();
    toRun.gerbLab();
}

    Gerbil[] gerbilArray;
    Food[] foodArray;
    int numGerbils;
    int foodnum;

    public whatTheGerbils() {}

Whenever a Java program runs, it starts with a method called main. You are getting the error because you don't have such a method. If you write such a method, then what it needs to do is this.

  • Create an object of the whatTheGerbils class.
  • Run the gerbLab() method for the object that was created.

The simplest way to do this would be to add the following code inside the whatTheGerbils class.

public static void main(String[]  args){
    whatTheGerbils toRun = new whatTheGerbils();
    toRun.gerbLab();
}
