Hi,
I'm probably asking this because of grammar reasons, but I don't know enough to 
know that, so here goes.

I'm hung up by the phrase in my Java book that says something like "I'm going 
to call a method on a class." I want to keep substituting the word "of" for the 
word "on" in my mind to help me understand what the book is telling me. That's 
because I'm thinking that the word "of" in this context means "belonging to." 
Am I missing something because I'm thinking this way?

Thanks.

Jim
