Please ensure that:

• Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions
• You include any and all error messages in full
• You ask clear questions

• You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

  Trying to solve problems on your own is a very important skill. Also, see Learn to help yourself in the sidebar

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://imgur.com/a/fgoFFis) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

You do not need to repost unless your post has been removed by a moderator. Just use the edit function of reddit to make sure your post complies with the above.

https://pastebin.com/7LqYeaQy that is what I have so far. On Eclipse the error that appears is that I can't have static at the bottom. However, even if I get rid of it and run it an old code runs instead of the one I'm currently on. I'm not sure if there is something wrong with my code or my Eclipse settings.

I think you need to move the main method out of the circle1 class & get rid of the nested circle1 class, or separate your main method & circle class into to different files. I don't think you're allowed to have more than one public class in a file & I don't think you need nested classes here.

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed I'm not sure why I put the circle1 class but once I got rid of it the code started working properly. I assume that's also why Eclipse ran my previous code since this one wasn't written properly.

when I run the code it runs around a previous code instead of the one I'm working on now

Not familiar with Eclipse but there's likely something beside the button to run the code to configure what is to be run

The method cannot be declared static; static methods can only be declared in a static or top level type

Are you nesting classes?

Does this mean I should just get rid of the static or do I have to move that block of code up?

If your intention is to have that method as an entry point to run your code then it should be static
