I'm having trouble using a class I have created in another class in Java

Question

I want to create a Clock program in java. I have a counter class that takes two parameters, an initial value(integer) and a limit(also an integer). I have another class, a Clock class, which ought to have two parameters (hour and minutes). And this parameters are supposed to be objects of the counter class. How do I create an instance of the counter class in the clock class

Answer 1

Call new and assign the reference to a variable, of course.

Something like this:

public class Clock {
    private Counter counter;

    public Clock(int hour, int minutes) {
        // don't know what you want here.  Can't see how they're related.
        this.counter = new Counter(0, 60*hour+minutes);
    } 
}
