I am trying to write a program that has a separate class file to the
rest of the functions within the program. How would I go about making
a section of the program run what it is inside the class.

Any help in this matter would be appreciated

If you want to run a static method x inside class X you would write
X.x()

If you want to run an instance method inside class X, you first must
instantiate an object of type X with the constructor.

X myobject = new X();

Then you can invoke the method on it:

myobject.x();
