I don't why I get 'not a statement' error in the following code...

Show all headers | View raw

public class hw1q3 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Test a = new Test();
        a.showAllOne();
        a.showAllTwo();
        System.out.println("The value of x is " + Test.x); //I get x
is 2
        Test.x; //I get a compile error that says - not a statement
    }
}

class Test {

    public static final int w = 1;
    public static int x = 2;
    public final int y = 3;
    public int z = 4;

    public void showAllOne() {
        System.out.println("w is " + w);
        System.out.println("x is " + x);
        System.out.println("y is " + y);
        System.out.println("z is " + z);
    }

    public static void showAllTwo() {
        System.out.println("w is " + w);
        System.out.println("x is " + x);
        //System.out.println("y is " + y);
        //System.out.println("z is " + z);
    }
}


I don't get why 'Test.x;'  in main() isn't a variable. The expression
'Test.x' ends with a semicolon. So I just assumed it was a valid
statement. However, the java compiler tells me something different.
Ideas? Possible hints?
