Java is an object-oriented programming language. You can create multiple classes in Java and create a class hierarchy such that one class can call another class. Do not confuse this with Java inheritance because, in class inheritance, there is a parent-child relationship between classes.
The derived or the child class always inherit the properties and methods from the parent or the base class.
Inheritance is not the scope of this article.
In general, Java has a main public class with a name that should match with the Java class file name and it calls other classes from this main class. The second approach is to write each class in different files and link them together with a package. In other words, all class files should be in the same class.
This program is a basic Java program to demonstrate the structure of the Java program. It is intended for beginner level learner of Java programming. It is written using Netbeans 8.2 installed on a Windows 7 64-bit PC. You may also want to install the suitable Java SDK 8.2.
Problem Definition
Our aim is to create a Java program that has three class, the 1st class will add two number and display results, and 2nd class will subtract two numbers and display results. The 3rd class will call the other two classes.
Program Code
The program code for add.java to add two numbers and display the results is given below.

void add(int x , int y ){
a = x;
y = b;
c = a + b;
System.out.println("C = " + c);
}

void subtraction(int r, int s){
m = r;
n = s;
p = m + n;
System.out.println("P =" + p);
}
}The program code for Results.java to call the previous two classes is given below.

Add obj = new Add();
Subtract obj2 = new Subtract();
obj.add(10,30);
obj2.subtraction(30,10);
}
}Output
C = 10
P = 40Related Articles:-
