Program using one-dimensional array

[Jdiz]

The program reads 12 integers into an one-dimensional array and sorts them into ascending order using Selection Sort and prints out the sorted data. Next, the Binary Search method is to be used to locate a particular integer or output a warning message if it is not present on the list, otherwise outputting the location of the integers first occurrance (index).

I feel as though I understand this but I am sure I am doing it very wrong. Any hints would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much!

My code:
/*This program takes a group of numbers inputted by the user and stores them in an array, sorts them via a selection sort, and searches for a particular value via a Binary Search*/

import java.util.*;
public class LynchA9
{
static Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);

inputData(int[] intList) //calling method, InputData
{

int[] intList = new int[12]; //declare array of 12
int listLength = 12;

System.out.println("Enter 12 integers."); //user inputs data


for (int i=0; i < listLength; i++)
{
intList[i] = console.nextInt(); //storing pre-sorted data
}

selectionSort(int[] intList, int listLength) //calling method selection sort
{
int i; //initializing variables for selection sort
int smallestIndex ;
int minIndex;
int temp;

for (i = 0; i < listLength - 1; i++) //loop for selection sort
{
smallestIndex = i;
for (minIndex = i + 1; minIndex < listLength; minIndex++)
{

if (intList[minIndex] < intList[smallestIndex])
smallestIndex = minIndex;
temp = intList[smallestIndex];
intList[smallestIndex] = intList[index];
intList[index] = temp;
}
} //end loop
System.out.print(intList[i] + "");

outputData(int[] sortedData) //calling method, OutputData
{
System.out.println("Data after selection Sort:" + sortedData); //output of sorted data

binarySearch (int[] intList, int listLength, int searchItem) //calling Binary Search method
{
System.out.println("Enter the search item:"); //user inputs search item

int first = 0;
int last = listLength -1;
int mid;

boolean found = false;

while (first <= last && !found)
{
mid = (first + last) /2;
if (intList[mid] == searchItem)


The errors I am getting:

There methods all need a return type, even if its void.
Since you used icode instead of code tags, the formatting has been lost so its a little tough to tell looking at this. But to me it appears that several of these methods are nested, which (if I'm not mistaken, since it is valid in some languages) is illegal in java, so that won't compile like that anyway.

This looks quite incomplete. But you'll need to start it off by declaring the methods properly with a return type, and proper braces for each method.
