Google on this topic but still did not understand what the problem is, please clarify

Thank you all, figured out, the problem is solved by this code

 int add(int param1, int param2){ return param1+param2; }

    Either you don’t say anything to us and it’s not the whole code, or ... yes, no, you don’t agree to it - JVic

    Maybe the matter is that the task is written clearly: write a function... , and you not only write it inside the class, also call static main . Read the condition carefully. - selya

It is obvious from the error message that static allowed to be used only for declaring variables.

PS You were also given a hint that you need to write the helloWorld(String) function, and not the main(String[]) method
