Problem with executing classes

closed account (LNAM4iN6)
I've been at this for hours, but I just can't seem to get a class function to execute. The code entails a lot more, but as of know I am just trying to get the code to work for case A. Please help I am at a complete loss as to how to make this work! I was hoping it would work after I fixed the compiling errors but no luck!
