First of all you will never see the word message mentioned in those languages you mentioned Second the word , understood, says nothing about the nature of the problem to a beginner
Is it that the method does not exist ? Or is it that method exists but message does not ? Or is it that the method does something it should not ? Or is the VM that has problem executing the method ?
