This can happen for several reasons, and here are some common causes, solutions, and related information:

    Causes:

    1. Typographical Error: The method name might be misspelled in the code.
    2. Method Not Defined: The method you are trying to call does not exist in the class or interface you are referencing.
    3. Visibility Issues: The method might be private or protected, and you are trying to access it from outside its defined scope.
    4. Missing Implementation: If the method is declared but not implemented, it can lead to this error.
    5. Incorrect Class/Interface Reference: You might be referencing the wrong class or interface where the method is not defined.
    6. Version Mismatch: If you are working in a system with multiple versions of a class or interface, you might be referencing an outdated version.

    Solutions:

    5. Correct Class Reference: Make sure you are referencing the correct class or interface that contains the method.
