Can I create a new object and then increase its value by 1?

Question about the task

Resolved

I have tried before using this, but I had the error, that I can't reference a non-static variable from a static context. package com.codegym.task.task04.task0404; /* Cat register */ public class Cat { private static int catCount = 0; public static void addNewCat() { //write your code here catCount inc = new catCount(); inc += 1; } public static void main(String[] args) { } }

package com.codegym.task.task04.task0404; /* Cat register */ public class Cat { private static int catCount = 0; public static void addNewCat() { //write your code here catCount inc = new catCount(); inc += 1; } public static void main(String[] args) { } }

this line:

private static int catCount = 0;

has the variable that you are supposed to increase by one. Do not declare a new variable in the addNewCount() method. The method should just have one line that increments the catCount variable.

so how can I just access that one variable? I have tried with this, but it doesn't work either this just works for a private non-static variable, but in this case it's both

solution

public static void addNewCat() {
    //write your code here
   catCount++;
}
