Where's the code that is causing this error?

An alternative to requiring that you create an instance of Program is that you make pt() itself a static method. Since pt() only operates on its parameters (i.e. it doesn't reference any instance members of its defining type) making it static is an appropriate choice.

Since Main is static, you cannot use the rest of the Program Class inside your static method.

Therefore you need an instance of the Program Class.
Change

C#

int j;        
j = pt(3, 4);

Into

C#

int j;
Program P = new Program();
j = P.pt(3, 4);

I would recommend writing the pt(int,int) method in another class though, but maybe thats just me.

Hi,

you are calling an instance method pt() from a static method (Main). To correct this error, either (i) declare a variable of type program and then call the method or (2) add 'static' to the declaration of method pt().

C#

// option 1
int j;
Program program = new Program(); // new line
j = program.pt(3, 4);            // replace this line "j = pt(3, 4);"

// option 2
public static int pt(int l, int r)
{
    return l + r;
}
