As Constructor should be at the starting of the Class   you are facing the above issue   So  you can either change the name or if you want to use it as a constructor just copy the method at the beginning of the class

A constructor should no have a return type   remove void before each constructor    Some very basic characteristic of a constructor    a  Same name as class b  no return type  c  will be called every time an object is made with the class  for eg- in your program if u made two objects   of Flow   Flow flow1 new Flow    Flow flow2 new Flow     then Flow constructor will be called for 2 times   d  If you want to call the constructor just for once then declare that as static  static constructor  and dont forget to remove any access modifier from static constructor

The problem is with the method   private void Flow         X   x      Y   y      Your class is named Flow so this method can t also be named Flow  You will have to change the name of the Flow method to something else to make this code compile   Or did you mean to create a private constructor to initialize your class  If that s the case  you will have to remove the void keyword to let the compiler know that your declaring a constructor

Constructors don t return a type   just remove the return type which is void in your case  It would run fine then

Method names which are same as the class name are called constructors  Constructors do not have a return type  So correct as    private Flow        X   x     Y   y      Or rename the function as   private void DoFlow        X   x     Y   y      Though the whole code does not make any sense to me

just remove this because constructor don t have a return type like void it will be like this    private Flow                 X   x          Y   y
