cannot be applied to (int)
i've been splitting my hairs at this all night.
any help would be great!
need answers quick...
i'm getting a compile error:
E:\java\Methods.java:36: getValidMaxNum() in Methods cannot be applied to (int)
userNum = getValidMaxNum( userNum );
^
E:\java\Methods.java:38: cannot find symbol
symbol : variable getValidMaxNum
location: class Methods
System.out.println( getValidMaxNum );
^
