java - Display Selected Message String -

i'm working on method goes through of array messages , displays selected message. i'm new java i'm still trying figure out methods , arrays. when run this, says it's successful doesn't display anything. can help me figure out.

package chatbox; import java.util.scanner; public class chatbox { public static void main(string[] args) { string chatmessages[] = new string[10]; //declare arrays chatmessages[0]= "pepperoni"; chatmessages[1]= "olives"; chatmessages[2]= "cheese"; chatmessages[3]= "onions"; chatmessages[4]= "bacon"; chatmessages[5]= "tomato sauce"; chatmessages[6]= "bell peppers"; chatmessages[7]= "mushrooms"; chatmessages[8]= "sausage"; chatmessages[9]= "beef"; } scanner scan = new scanner (system.in); public scanner chatcannedmessage(string chatmessages) { (int i=0;i<chatmessages.length;i++){ system.out.println(chatmessages[i]); //prints message } system.out.println("select message"); string chatmessage = scan.next(); scan.nextline(); homecoming scan; } }

as pm 77-1 said, never invoked shoutoutcannedmessage method , never print out or homecoming string. tried minimize changes code, , think might intended do.

class="lang-java prettyprint-override">import java.util.scanner; public class shoutbox { scanner scan = new scanner(system.in); public static void main(string[] args) { string messages[] = new string[10]; //declare 10 arrays messages[0] = "pepperoni"; messages[1] = "olives"; messages[2] = "cheese"; messages[3] = "onions"; messages[4] = "bacon"; messages[5] = "tomato sauce"; messages[6] = "bell peppers"; messages[7] = "mushrooms"; messages[8] = "sausage"; messages[9] = "beef"; string m = new shoutbox().shoutoutcannedmessage(messages); system.out.println(m); } public string shoutoutcannedmessage(string[] messages) { (int = 0; < messages.length; i++) { system.out.println(i+". "+messages[i]); //should print messages } system.out.println("select message"); int idx = scan.nextint(); string message = messages[idx]; homecoming message; } }

java arrays methods
