Can anyone tell me how to get area for the Rectangle?
I know I did something wrong with this code:

import java.awt.Rectangle;
public class AreaTester
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Rectangle r1 = new Rectangle (10, 20, 30, 50);
r1.getWidth();
r1.getHeight();
double r1.area = width*height;
System.out.println("Area = " + area);
}
}
That code...
Have you tried to get a book and learn?

Thanks, but I was looking for another way
BTW, I do have a book and I AM learning.

you dont need to re-declare r1.area as a double, as i assume it is a public field in the Rectangle class already. Now on the second line, you attempted to print a local variable named area which does not exist. You need to print r1.area, as area is stored in that object of the Rectangle class, not your local class.

his problem is that getWidth() and getLength() are not voids, but doubles (assuming they are doubles and not integers, else he would've {int area}), therefore he must have done
Code:
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Rectangle r1 = new Rectangle (10, 20, 30, 50);
double width= r1.getWidth();
double height= r1.getHeight();
double area = width*height;
System.out.println("Area = " + area);
}
