definition of a public static method..?

Question

For the skilled computer programmers out there:
 this is a relatively easy code, I am a beginning programmer & would greatly appreciate some help in defining this public static method:

The public static method runForAWhile inputs a Startable object and an int n, and then

calls its start method; 
calls its step method n times; and finally 
calls its stop method. 
Complete the following definition of runForAWhile:

public class MainClass 
{ 

//what comes next?

I am sure I could help but the problem is not clear.  "Startable object" tells me there is a class named Startable.  So with the limited info here is what I think you are trying.  This will not compile unless you define a Startable class.

public class MainClass
{
-----public static void main( String [] args )
-----{
-----------Startable obj = new Startable( ); //instantiate Startable object
-----------int n = 5;
-----------runForAWhile( obj, n );
-----}

-----public static runForAWhile( Startable obj, int n)
-----{
--------------obj.start( ); //start method of Startable class
--------------obj.step( n ); //step method of Startable class
--------------obj.stop( ); //stop method of Startable class
   
-----}
}

public static void Main(string[] args)
{
  Out.println("I don't have time to do my homework.");
  Out.println("Please give me an 'F' and put me out of my misery ...");
  Out.println("... or I'll keep trying to get strangers to do my homework for me forever.");
 }
}
