java basic salary program

Question

I am new to java and I keep getting this error message:

No enclosing instance of type Managesalary is accessible. Must qualify the allocation with an enclosing instance of type Managesalary (e.g. x.new A() where x is an instance of Managesalary). on line *

public class Managesalary
{
    public static void main(String[] args)

    {
        System.out.println("MY SALARY REVIEW");
        System.out.println("================");


    *   Salary Jan= new Salary();
        Jan.Month= "JANUARY";
        Jan.HoursWorked= 12;
        Jan.PerHourRate= 10;
        Jan.TaxRate= 0.10;

        Jan.printSalaryDetails();

        Salary Month2= new Salary();
        Month2.Month= "FEBUARY";
        Month2.PerHourRate= 10;
        Month2.TaxRate= 0.10;
        Month2.printSalaryDetails();

    }

class Salary
    {
    String Month = "";
    int HoursWorked= 0;
    int PerHourRate= 0;
    double TaxRate= 0.10;
    int MonthlySalary= (HoursWorked*PerHourRate);

    public void printSalaryDetails(){
        System.out.println("MONTH OF = " +Month);
        System.out.println("PER HOUR RATE = " +PerHourRate);
        System.out.println("TAX RATE =   " +TaxRate);
        System.out.println("TOTAL MONTHLY INCOME = " +MonthlySalary);
        System.out.println("================");
    } 
    } 
}

The error sais that you have to create a inner class by referencing an instance of the enclosing class.

ManageSalary mn = new Managesalary()
Salary salary =  mn.new Salary();

Either copy your class Salary in a separate file name Salary.java and make it public, put it outside of you main class preferably above it, or declare it static.

Inner classes need an existing reference to the outer class. Without an instance of Managesalary it won't be possible to instantiate Salary. You can achieve this by doing:

Managesalary mSalary = new Managesalary();
Salary Jan= mSalary.new Salary();

You have defined the Salary class as an inner class of Managesalary (although your code indentation hides this a bit).

Thus, each instance of Salary must be bound to an instance of Managesalary.

In your main method, create an instance of Managesalary (e.g. ManageSalary ms = new ManageSalary()) and initialize your inner class object as ms.new Salary().

Make your Salary class as static

static class Salary{
    // rest of the code
}
