Java - printing object content
I'm trying to print the contents of my Fraction () object, but it keeps giving me a lot of errors and referencing where my print instructions start. I have a toString () method that I created, but that doesn't work either. Here is my class and tester class:
package fraction;
public class Fraction

* The numerator and denominator.
*/

*/

*/

{

bottom = 1;
}
/**
* Creates a fraction with the specified numerator and denominator
* @param n the numerator
* @param d the denominator
*/
public Fraction(int n, int d)
{
top = n;
bottom = d;
if (bottom == 0) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException();
}
}

}
/**

* fraction; -1 otherwise

{

}

* the denominator is positive and the numerator and denominator are relative primes
*/
public void normalize()

/**

I am trying to print the contents of objects f1, f2, f3 and f4. It says my error is listed in the first print statement ( System.out.printf("f1 = %d", f1);
).
