String name;
private int age;
private int grade;
private int average;
private String disability;

public void StuInfo(){
name = "John";
age = 15;
grade = 71;
average = 63;
disability = "No";

    
System.out.println("Name: "+name+",Age: "+age+",Grade: "+grade+",Average: "+average );

Answer 1

In order to successfully compile your program you need to create first a new object of the class Student or make the stunInfo() method static. Also the java convention for method names is to start with a lowercase later, so StunInfo should better be named 'stunInfo'. A name like 'printStudentInfo()' can be considered, which would be even more readable and better shows what the method does.(Improves readability) These notes can get your example working but it is not a complete solution to the homework posted. You need perhaps to change the access modifier of the stunInfo() method to be only accessible from within the class etc.

public class Student {

String name;
private int age;
private int grade;
private int average;
private String disability;

public void Student(){
  name = "John";
  age = 15;
  grade = 71;
  average = 63;
  disability = "No";
} // end constructor

public void stunInfo(){
    System.out.println("Name: "+name+",Age: "+age+",Grade: "+grade+",Average: "+average );
} //end stunInfo


public static void main(String[] args){
    //Create a new student
    Student student=new Student();
    //Invoke stunInfo method
    student.stunInfo();
} //end main

} //end class
